Fremont Brewery or Outlander.
I’m new to the area and haven’t been able to methodically make my way through all the craft beer selections, but so far I’ve been very impressed with Schooner Exact. Can’t say that won’t change, though!
Northwest Peaks, hands down.
Georgetown brewing. They are only available on tap, but widely available. They have affordable growler fills, and have an awesome sample bar. Finally, they provide the best tour in WA. Full of samples and they explain the brewing process from the ground up. Props to Manny and their crew!
Reuben’s
Epic Ales!
Gotta go with Fremont Brewing!
Reubens!
Georgetown Brewing Company!
Reuben’s Brews. Their Roggenbier is one of my favorites!
Fremont Brewing
Reuben’s!
Epic Ales. Cody and Travis are doing the most creatively curated beer and food pairings in town. They are totally unique in a town full of creative and excellent brewers.
I’ve been to 140 breweries in WA! How can I pick a favorite? Within the first 20 or so I visited, one stood out – NW Peaks.
Fremont brewery!
Fremont Brewing, never disappoints.
Black Raven! Got a strong recommendation from a friend to stop at Black Raven. He was spot-on. All their beers are solid – especially the La Petite Mort!
I suppose I can’t say Holy Mountain yet, so Reuben’s.
Fremont for me!
Lots of great choices, but I’m going with Reuben’s Brews!
Reuben’s Brews. Their Imperial Rye IPA was the best beer I tasted at the Washington Brewers Festival this year.
Schooner Exact has great beers, great food, and really cool and friendly people. I’m really looking forward to the further maturation of their barrel program.
Hilliards of course. Gotta love their 12th Man can!
Rueben’s ftw!
Big Al’s Brewing
Showing some love for the southend, Airways Brewing Co.
Elliott Bay so far!
I love Elysian beer and I really enjoy Hilliard’s brewery for the cool space/environment.
Schooner Exact is my fave: their 3 grid ipa is delicious. Cant wait to see what new beers they come up with!
I’d have to say Elysian
Fremont definitely. But if I had to have a sweet pizza in a classic pub atmosphere I’d say Big Time. Also, keep an eye on Reubens, they are new, but so many amazing beers. Just my opininon. Thanks for this cool opportunity.
Congrats to “Mark C.”! He’s the lucky winner of two free passes to BREW Seattle. Thanks to all for playing.
