Cutest tap room I have EVER been in! And fabulous herbaceous beers. Would highly recommend and definitely return.

This was one of my favorite breweries we visited on our Washington trip. I loved the vibe so much! The plants and the aging barrels really added to the ambience. It was beautiful and the beer was great. Highly recommend

Amazing, unique brews flavored with Pacific northwest ingredients (and microbes!) Fun and friendly space.

Fun summertime treat to sit outside and try their awesome selection of home crafted brews!

Brewery with cool vibes, fun place to stop on the way to Olympic.Note to people that are familiar with Propolis bee products: No they don’t incorporate it into their beers, nor do they sell Propolis products. If you ask about it, the bartender will oddly look at you bewildered as to why you would ask such a question. Why name the place Propolis then?

A super rad spot! Uniquely designed, friendly staff, chill music and good brews. Highly recommend a stop!

Great place for some not the same run of the mill beer. Very good botanical beers, we enjoyed sampling everything they had on tap. It's a little off the beaten path but worth finding.

The beer and ambience are stellar (best beer I've ever had), and make up for a lot (like the fact that the business is called "Propolis" but they have no mead on the menu--seriously puzzling). What they don't make up for is the treatment from the bartender. This guy acts as if your very existence is offensive, he hardly smiles or talks, and does this weirdly aloof thing where he barely acknowledges your presence at the bar and then acts like he's doing you a favor by taking your order. Been here twice now and it's uncomfortable, to say the least. His partner appears friendlier, although I haven't directly interacted with her. I have restaurant experience and have waited on communities of rude and entitled people, so I get it--but to treat everyone like a nuisance from the get-go is just poor business. I'd rather spend my money and time where I feel welcomed.

Most chill place in Port Townsend, and trust me, I've tried.Came about an hour after opening, the Taproom has plenty of garden outdoor seating and big wood tables/upholstery in. I opted for indoors where the atmosphere is pure jungle plant/foxy music/laid back breeze. Probably a great time of day to go, and even though I'm sure there's summer tourism, I've visited between the county fair and the THING Festival, so maybe I hit the sweetest spot. The beertender was super helpful with my preferences, helped me find two good beverages (you can also get a half-pour for $4). Draft choices were very nice, organic, and including ingredients you don't always see (such as fennel or juniper).Also: the washrooms are clean! You can't always say that in this beachy town, amiright? Thanks again!

Do you like craft beer but understand the difference between a microbrew and a brewery? Do you enjoy beers fine tuned to perfection? Do you prefer a brewery that isn't a family playground? Then, this is your spot. The tap list consists of beers that you've probably never heard of but need in your life. 3 different hop varieties for pales, 5 different oak and wine bbl aged sours and a few stouts to choose from. The pale options were so damn good, light and crisp. The BA sour options were all unique and delicious (favorite was Elderberry) but be sure to try them all. To top off an excellent beer list, this place has a whole vibe to it. Boho-shic with so many well maintained plants and flowers scattered around the place, perfect for attracting bees to fit the name. Antique furniture, and their music is played from a record table with at least 300 vinyl options. This place was kind of dead for a Friday night, but we enjoyed it so much we returned Saturday. It might have just been a slow weekend but this place deserves more love.

Recommended to us by another brewery in town - this place was absolutely spectacular. Great beer, great ambiance and super friendly staff. Will be sure to visit when we are back in the area!

One of my favourite breweries (the other is Avery). Exceptional saison style ale

Unusual beer flavors, but suits the area.No tasting which is unusual. Bartender a bit snobby.

Wow. The beer was downright special. Amazing. Unique. The service from Piper was also unreal and so kind, informative and calm. I loved the decor and the whole Bohemian vibe. I am truly blown away by this brewery. I am a huge beer n*** who loves to try new things but I am just...kind of in awe.
