14 Best Craft Breweries near Bainbridge Island

“Delicious beer & chill vibes“

“The location was easy to navigate from the ferry terminal and the drive was a nice change of scenery from the usual crush of tall buildings and narrow streets of Seattle. The selection of drinks was superb and the staff were very friendly and attentive to making great recommendations based on your tastes and preferences. Knowledgeable team of great people who made sure the tables were clear and clean. You order your drinks from the bar and can sample to see if you like what's available.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience and definitely one of my top experiences for a brewery outing with fantastic friends in a location that was quiet, comfortable, and immersed in nature. The business park that the brewery is located also features some distilleries within the same parking area so moving from one preference of drink to another was as simple as crossing the parking lots. Great pizza place nearby as well. I would definitely endure the potentially long wait times of the ferries from Seattle to Bainbridge just to enjoy the outing with friends at this brewery.

Also, there's an awesome raptor hanging out in a nest on the cell tower nearby and it'll peek at you if you're seated outside.“

“One of my favorite seattle breweries! Great complex sours ranging from mild to lip puckering tart (although this is coming from a sour sensitive palate FYI), as well as stouts, ipas, braggots and more! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Seattle area who enjoys beers. It's definitely worth the visit! My standouts (as of June 2025) include smoke show, rampart sour red, armchair philosopher, and Peter Peter pear eater.“

“Good beers and usually a wide variety.“

“A great family friendly brewery! Tasty small batch brews and wine. Everyone is so friendly. We are mug club members and love the group. They even have an event room I’ve used many times. I def recommend them!“

“Great little local ‘small batch’ microbrewery. I had the ‘Queen Anne's Revenge’ (IPA) and the ‘Boathouse Wit’ (Belgian-style witbier), both were excellent. They also have a stand at Magnolia’s Farmers Market Saturday’s. Hadn’t tried the food yet. I will be going back. Dog friendly. Parking is tight on weekends so you probably will park on the street.
Please remember to not drink & drive!“

“A consistently good, but rarely exceptional brewery. Perhaps my expectations are too high due to the history, head brewer, etc for this brewery, but I was expecting some truly fantastic IPAs. While all of the IPAs on tap were definitely above average, nothing blew us away in the way we hoped. Cloudburst definitely knows what they are doing, though. I expect them to be a pillar of Seattle brewing for the foreseeable future. Staff was fine, but not particularly friendly or knowledgeable. While we went in the middle of winter, it was approximately the same temperature inside as it was outside as well. There are a few kinks to work out as far as service goes.“

“I am posting this due to the 2 bad reviews this week (I reviewed on yelp and Google and I somehow missed fb). I've never had an issue here and actually really like Jesse (don't know all the employees - sorry). Ridgeline has my fave brews in Kitsap and the location was one of my top options for events. I highly recommend.“

“Really enjoyed the variety of beers, I loved the porter. Fun atmosphere to visit with friends , drink good beer and eat yummy tacos from the Barbacoa truck. Numerous clean bathrooms , baby changing/nursing room so family friendly. We will be back.“

“Best Brew in B’ town! Kid and dog friendly with other fun activities or just a place to chill after work.“

“Nice place, good beer selection“

“I needed a venue to have my BNI (a networking group for business professionals) Halloween party at. I was given the recommendation to check out Crane's Castle Brewing. I was very happy to find out that we could have it there for free as long as there were under 40 people there. Perfect!

The night of the party the gal behind the bar was so friendly and took care of everyone in my party. It was unfortunate that our party coincided with the last Mariners/Blue Jays baseball game BUT they assured me that they could get the game on for us. Everything was just perfect!

They have a lovely establishment. It's spacious and clean. They have lots of board games, Corn Hole, pinball machines, a working bowling game from the 50's in the corner that was really old and cool. Taco Rico also had their food truck outside so in case people in my party wanted something other than what was brought (you're allowed to bring food in there, just no beverages) they had options!

I was just blown away by my experience with Crane's. They went above and beyond in my opinion. Thank you all so much!“

“Single Hill is here!! Yakima is laid back fantastic but you can't always get there...!
SH makes so many IPAs, and now often outstanding ones! This will be a must stop for fresh hop season Sep-Oct every year! So looking forward to it this year. Hey Seattle, SH gave the fresh hop master class in 2023. They were 2nd to Holy Mtn ONLY in 2024. Expect big things every year from them (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧“

“The hazy "Kiwi" IPA best we had during our Seattle visit! Bartenders great at giving us traveling advice! Highly recommend!“
