Made a stop here on a brewery crawl. Lots of interesting beers that are different from what you find at a lot of breweries. We did find the service felt a little disinterested- You order via QR code which is convenient but our drinks were generally dropped off without a word from the server. Just made the experience feel a little more impersonal than breweries normally do.
Parking is absolutely atrocious, but once you get inside it's great. Plenty of seating, good beer and do yourself a favor and order food because it's INCREDIBLE. The clothes are so cool but a bit pricey so I passed
My favorite Seattle brewery by far. There's still some options if you consider yourself a purist, but I'm someone who gets really into heavy and/or fun flavors in my beer, and this is absolutely the place for that. There's always something interesting on the tap list and they add new beers pretty frequently to what is always a pretty good sized list. Beer is fantastic and I highly recommend getting a flight.
Food option on site is decent. Tastes good, but it's expensive...read full review
