44 Best Craft Breweries near Renton

“Great local brew spot that everyone there makes you feel welcome once you walk in. The brew is really good and always rotating.“

“Game Day!! With Bickerson’s!!“

“This is my absolute favorite brewery in the Renton area, no comparison. It is a family-owned business specializing in authentic German beer. There are also some other options if you’ve made a wrong turn in your life and don’t enjoy German beer.

As creeped into my late 30s, beer started to hurt my stomach. This is the only place I will consistently drink beer from now, as I’ve never experienced this issue here. I don’t know if it’s the ingredients or the way it’s brewed, but I’m so happy I can continue to imbibe such delicious creations at such a cute spot.

Other highlights: Dogs allowed inside & on the small patio, Plentiful dog treats, Friendly bartenders & patrons, Board games, Slightly off the main drag & a bit quieter, Growler fills.

Of note, this is a beer-focused establishment and no (meal-sized) food is on site. There are a ton of restaurants in the area, and you can always bring food into the brewery to eat.“

“The huckleberry beer is amazing! Got a growler to go and it was full to the brim with amazing beverage! Family friendly, pet friendly. Will return!“

“Your food and drinks are amazing! Had a burger with a BUN for the first time in a VERY long time! I'd pretty much given up on gluten free buns. The peach sour and the beer was delish! Felt so good to know I could eat anything on the menu and not worry about any cross contamination!“

“Very basic IPAs and Stouts. One of the grape beers even had a vinegar vibe. I’d come back for the patio, but definitely not for the beers. Considering there are plenty of other great breweries with awesome outdoor seating, I probably won’t be returning.“

“Newly opened as a tap room! Super inviting atmosphere with delicious beer on tap! They can also usually can things to go, and if you bring your own growler they’ll fill it up! Support local Black owned businesses!“

“Great place to visit. We came on vacation and walked up to the brewery from the cruise tour. About a twenty minute walk.
Beer is good. The have happy hour Monday evening 4-10pm which was a great surprise! $5 beer of the evening and $8 burger and fries. Both were really good! Especially fond of the burger and fries. Just ask for little salt. The cashier is also the server but he was so kind and efficient. Great job!
I wish we lived local because we would definitely be back. Check it out. You’ll like it!“

“Great MicroBrewery! Staff & Brews are some of the Best out in the Industry!“

“This place is a VIBE! I came in to waste some time and bought a mimosa - AMAZING. So simply yet so satisfying. The interior is welcoming and relaxed but not raggedy. Outdoor patio is cute. Servers are welcoming. They have card games, puzzles, board games and books (one I couldn’t put down). This place is it! I will be back“

“Good pizza, good beer (Rainer on tap), and friendly staff!“

“Prestige and quality beers. They have developed a reputation for some of the best beers in Seattle, and for me the best in West Seattle. Some variety with an IPA focus. Try the lofty stouts. Really cool location with ample room for guests inside and out.“

“Jellyfish Brewing Co. Makes the most delicious, inventive beer! It’s our favorite watering hole. And we are so happy it’s so close.“

“Nice outdoor space, easy to find, plenty of parking available. Great selection of beers, and a unique brand story. Look forward to going back for more taster trays!“

“One of our friends described this very Seattle brewery perfectly: You see people playing D&D while the Seahawks are playing. Beers are brewed in house! We love playing games and hanging out here. Friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere. I mean, how can you beat hanging out, drinking and playing board games while watching sci-fi films / Seahawks games? Strangely to some, the most impressive aspect is the restroom setup. Gender neutral rooms with tampons/pads on hand for those who need them. For those who don't typically see this setup, it's kind of a big deal and helps this brewery stand out.“

“Fabulous Brewery right in the heart of SE Seattle. Their beer is top notch, whether it's a signature cask conditioned ale or a NW IPA. They have great cider, NA beer and show footy on the TV. I miss their Georgetown venue but really like the new digs- highly reccomend a visit!“

“We loved the beer, the location, and the vibe. The bartender was friendly, and we liked all the TVs for watching sports.“

“Cloudburst reminds me of how breweries used to be 10 plus years ago. They find some space inside the actual brewery operations. Set up a small bar counter and a few tables. Open the garage door and serve beer for a few hours in the late afternoon-evening, maybe four days a week tops. I miss that vibe.“

“The beer at this place is absolutely incredible and I've been to hundreds of breweries. Top notch for sure. If they can figure out how to distribute widely they're going to be huge. And it's not just their IPA beers, they have some pretty killer lighter beers too. Support this place if you can, it's a gem. Also super fun atmosphere to hang out.“

“This brewery had the BEST root beer on tap I have ever had on. I will definitely be coming back for some delicious root beer. I took some to go!! The brewery itself is beautiful and very friendly and welcoming. I would most definitely recommend this brewery to someone. The coolest part was that they had coffee brewing too!! How awesome. I loved this place. The employees were incredibly kind. 10/10“

“We were on the last day of our 19 day road trip before flying back home to Florida and Paul made it such as memorable experience for us!Smaller beer selection, more of an intimate inside setting with outdoor patio seating and I did have to pay for parking which I thought was odd (limited free parking). I wish they had more of a variety of stronger beers (all on the lighter side).Overall I really enjoyed Paul’s personality, hospitality and learning on how he became a bartender here in Seattle when his family is spread out all across the country.“

“Probably the best alcoholic ginger beer I’ve ever tasted (the imperial). Shocked this was my first time trying it. But now that I know this exists, I’m sure it will be accompanying me to every backyard party this summer. Thanks for making a great product yall!“

“Beneficial Brewing is the first Kombucha company I’ve found that keeps the full flavor you’re looking for without packing it with sugar. Every one of their brews has been delicious. No more searching for the next best booch, I’ve found it.“

“Tasty beers with a cool industrial vibe. A great selection of fruity sours packed with flavor. A black raspberry grisette stole my heart... Also, bonus points for being right under the SeaTac flight path. Super fun to watch jets flight right above the patio.“

“Great beer, great atmosphere!? too bad they close early (8pm), and close Mondays/Tuesdays. But there are many great places around to pick up food and eat at Elysian for great beers ? there are pinball machines too?
Our favorite is pick up sushi bowl from Donburi station ?“

“Love the beer, the staff are dope, but they close early. They're on winter hours so last call happens by around 8:30/8:45. By the time I get off work and go to make my way there it just isn't worth the drive. Otherwise really enjoy the environment there, less chaotic than the Ballard location.“

“Cozy, locally owned, gem on the west end of South Park in an industrial park. Award winning Saisons. Very unique beer menu. Quiet place perfect for a first date, read a book, or to play dominoes. Dog friendly. Friendly owners Lisa and Eric are always welcoming. Pint club. Nice in summer as you can sit outside at the picnic tables and get some sun. Bottles to go.“

“I am giving a 5 star review of the San Juan Seltzery in Seattle The staff and management were super friendly & accommodating >>> Super nice place & top notch venue for music events & parties >>> Doc Brown (unlearn) & other DJ's performed there last night for EXP so much fun My 1st experience there was stellar thank you!!!“

“I have a lot of breweries that I enjoy in Seattle. Fremont, Elysian, Georgetown - just to name a few. Perihelion isn't like those bigger ones, and it is truly a good thing. It's a little off the beaten path, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, and it gets everything right. Beer - 5/5. Food - 5/5. Staff - 5/5. The service is great, their many varieties of beer are fantastic, and their kitchen turns out a mean burger. Of all the breweries in Seattle, I do believe Perihelion is my favorite.“

“To David Nguyen, that left the poor rating today. I witnessed the exchange between you and the taproom manager this afternoon. I suspect you were very distracted with the kiddos as you arrived at the front door because the sign that show the tap room as 21 + is clearly visible as you come to the front door. See attached picture. The manager was flat out professional and courteous to you and the other employee was trying to be solution oriented with the suggestion to accommodate you situation by setting up seating outside the 21+ area. This is a great business and the service is ALWAYS excellent! You come back without the kiddos and I’ll be happy to buy you a round.“

“A massive thank you to Big Block in Sammamish and dynamo Kyle behind the counter for helping us pull off a fabulous engagement party. Venue was the talk of the town and many family and friends plan on returning to try the beers they didn't get to! Bride and groom each tried 5 and want to come back for trying the rest!
Truly though, thank you. It is such a fabulous space. Kyle was a pleasure to work with and made the day that much more fun for us and our guests.“

“Mule and Chowder. We had heard a tip that if you get chowder at Pike's Place you were able to eat at Rachel's if you purchased a ginger beer from them. So we enjoyed Moscow mules and chowder in a more relaxed space. Their ginger beer is amazing too. A win-win for sure. Visited 9/2024.“

“Loved this place so much! I consider quiting my teaching job and opening a ginger beer stand! Joking, but I would be a regular if a place like this existed in my hometown.
I was so happy when the bartender offered me to try a few varieties before I could make a choice. I settled on the pink guava, which was litely sweet and refreshing.“

“Enjoyed our visit. Great outdoor seating. Friendly staff.“

“Phenomenal pizza, great beer selection, and great shishito peppers. If I lived in Seattle, I would be here very often. Come, eat, and drink!

The only downside is the website, which even for someone who has built a website for a food service business, is really really bad to use and get information from.“

“Great food and beer... amazing service!“

“When I visited Seattle a few summers ago, I came across this exact Rachel's store and bought a drink to quench my thirst. Best random drink purchase of my trip! I revisited Rachel's in different locations to try all their delish flavours at least 3 times before I left the city (I was there for a week)...and I'm still raving about it from across the globe. Possibly the best ginger beer I've had anywhere.“

“So cool to be in the Elysian Fields brewer tap room! Granted we didn't plan on coming here, so it was a bit of a surprise! Also glad we weren't here on a game day! Would have been a "little" busier!
Nice view of the Seahawks stadium!

Kid-friendliness: Nice kid menu with colorful art!“

“Nice vibe, sucks that the one and only TV was broken on the night of the 1st football game of the season but we watched it on a phone. There was no AC seemingly so it was super hot and when you’re getting tipsy the warmth is that much worse. The cider is a mix of yummy and mid. We tried several cider flights, about 12 flavors and I only really enjoyed maybe 3? Anyways the food was great, my partner and I tried the circus burger, basket fries and the popcorn chicken. WARNING: it’s not really popcorn chicken. I was hella hungry thinking it was actually gonna be popcorn sized and so I ordered the 20 piece, BIG MISTAKE, if you’re one person, order the 8 piece. It’s not popcorn sized or even chicken nugget sized. It’s like even larger than if you ordered boneless wings at wing stop. Not bad, just ordered too much food and I unfortunately get the OPPOSITE of the drunchies! Attached photo for reference. It’s delicious though and so is the sauce.“

“They have a nice outdoor patio to enjoy some local beer. The inside is nice as well. The bartenders were personable and patient as I picked out a flight. They have a few of their own beers on tap as well as others from the Washington/Oregon area. We did not order food, but it was available.“

“Roaming around Seattle, we found this to be a fabulous spot to stop for a drink. The outdoor seating was ideal for the sunny day we had, and our server Ben was a pleasure. This bar has so much personality and charm it was hard to take it all in with one trip. There is a lot going on at this location and parking wasn’t the easiest to find, but it was worth it!

Parking: Street parking is one of the only options we found, but definitely worth a short walk to enjoy the personality of this unique location.“

“had the French dip before the Seattle Thunderbirds game. very good, good service.“

“The new salmon choices on the menu are soooo good and fresh! The Chipotle salmon Ceasar is a big winner, with really fresh salmon.
I also love a couple items on the happy hour menu- quesadilla (nice portion!) and the salmon sliders...So good.“

“Stopped there as it was close to our hotel and it didn’t disappoint. The pretzel with cheese and the scooby snack appetizers were perfectly cooked and tasted great with their yellow mustard (sans fake ingredients).
For dinner we had the specials - Thai sweet potato fries were amazing - seasoned perfectly and so delicious - and the Korean bbq chicken was cooked perfectly, with the best heat to it. Thank you to our super sweet waitress as well!“
