Seattle is home to almost 70 breweries. Given the city's walkability and the number of breweries within close proximity to taste test, it's no wonder that Seattle has been previously nicknamed “the brewing capital of the USA.”
Seattle has been brewing beer for over 150 years; craft beer is practically a family tree member at this point.
Here are six brewhouses in Seattle, WA to check out the next time you’re looking for a place to unwind with a craft beer and a few good friends.
Welcome to quite possibly the world's most inclusive brewery. Ghostfish Brewing Company's flagship production brewery and taproom brew exclusively gluten-free beer and offers a full gastropub experience with a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Located in the heart of Seattle's historic SoDo neighborhood, Ghostfish's spacious taproom offers something amazing for everyone.
Stoup is a brewery with a tasting room, not a brewpub, focused solely on making beer. Stoup Brewing created space for food trucks to drive into our beer garden and serve ever-changing food options. In addition, beer lovers are free to bring take-out food from local restaurants or have food delivered to the brewery. Kids and dogs are welcome as well!
Reuben's Brews - The Barrel House
Reuben’s Brews opened in 2012, after Adam’s award-winning homebrewing career. In this family brewery, they brew from the glass backward, designing each beer with intention, unbound by constraints.
Opened in 2015, the Ballard Taproom features a 15-barrel brewhouse right in the middle of the space. This is where Reuben’s brews smaller batches of beer that you’ll taste across all three locations.
Pike Brewing is a Seattle staple, crafting beers that reflect the community—bold, diverse, and dynamic. Pike has been proudly brewing from its downtown location as a pioneer in the industry since Charles and Rose Ann Finkel tapped their first keg in 1989.
Since then, they have crafted a wide range of award-winning beers. Stop into the historic pub location by the Market to enjoy a pint with a meal or find beer on shelves ready to be paired with your next adventure.
Reuben's Brews - The Canning Line
Reuben’s Brews opened in 2012, after Adam’s award-winning homebrewing career. In this family brewery, they brew from the glass backward, designing each beer with intention, unbound by constraints.
A modern tasting room nestled between a canning line and fermenters within its production brewery, this space is a great venue for business meetings during the day or an outing with friends and family at night.
Stoup Brewing opened in March of 2021 in Kenmore, Washington, by local residents, a husband-and-wife team, Brad Benson and Lara Zahaba.
