Great rotation of beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dog friendly! Outdoor seating when weather permits. N/A and non-beer options (wine/cider/seltzer).

Great beer here, all styles that I tasted are true to style. I love tasting beer right in the middle of where the brewing magic happens. Greg the owner is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and it shows in the quality of his beer. Definitely waiting for his spruce tip pale again.

Chill vibe, great beer, amazing customer service. The type of place I'll keep coming back to.

Great beer and in the vein of the dream of what Seattle beer was working towards in the late 2000s before citra took over

Maddie Bessler

Great spot! Every beer we tried was fantastic. A must try in Seattle!

Greg (the owner) does a great job with his brews at Distant West… he keeps his beers true to style and seems to enjoy them on the lower end of the IBU scale. The Märzen, Cream Ale, and Schwartzbier were fantastic!

The interior has a showroom type vibe… you get to sit in the middle of all the fermenter vessels housing his next version of the brews. Even better on a sunny day when he opens the south facing garage door to let the sun in!

Dog friendly. Cozy 6 table spot to enjoy beers (no food but snacks available) that's pit you in the middle of the brew operation. Upstairs loft that's warm during cooler months. Support local Ballard breweries and stop by here for a pint. Bonus points for the free high-quality stickers!

Unique space with great beer and a very friendly owner and staff. We love the NW pale ale and spruce pale ale! Definitely worth the stop!
