Pyramid Breweries Inc. from Seattle announced second-quarter net income of $168,000, or 2 cents a share, up from $145,000, also 2 cents a share, a year ago, Seattle Post communicated on August 9. Net sales rose 25 percent to $13 million. The Seattle-based specialty brewer said the increase was the result of the acquisition of brands from Portland Brewing as well as growth in West Coast markets.
