A Local’s Guide to Planning a Seattle Brewery Tour of Ballard (With a Map!)

If you’re looking to go on a Seattle brewery tour, the Ballard neighborhood is the place to do it. I remember the sudden appearance of all the Ballard breweries: I was living with my sister at the time, and we’d sometimes walk through the neighborhood to downtown Ballard for the farmers market, passing by homes and empty-looking warehouses.

Then, one day, there was a brewery. It was in a sparse warehouse with the garage door thrown open. Since my brother-in-law brews beer, you could imagine our excitement. Especially when another one opened. Then another. And another.

Now there are 16 breweries and 6 taprooms in Ballard. Most of them seem randomly placed on home-lined streets, but it’s the perfect setup for a self-guided Seattle brewery tour (or a “crawl” if you will!) and most of them are family-friendly.

But since there are so many Ballard breweries, it can be daunting to figure out which ones you should go to. And which ones you should go to might change depending on who you’re rolling with.

So here’s a list of all the Ballard breweries, which are my favorites, and insights into what to expect at all of them. I also share a Seattle brewery map to give you a sense of place. Consider this the only guide you need for a fun day of beer tasting at the Ballard breweries.

The Ultimate Seattle Brewery Tour of Ballard

I’ve been to just about all of these Ballard breweries and have favorites, which I labeled below. Most of them create 100% Ballard brewed beers, so it doesn’t get much more local than that!

Also, consider doing tasters. There are so many awesome beers at each stop. I rarely get a full pint…I just continually go back and get samplers!

Obec Brewing

website | cross streets: 11th Ave NW & NW 52nd St | best known for: malty-style beers

Obec (prounounced “Oh-betz”) is the Czech word for “community”. This microbrewery is different than most of the other Ballard breweries because it’s 21+ and pretty posh as far as breweries in a warehouse go. There are dim lights, makeshift couches made out of crates, and a big chandelier.

I go here weekly while my niece is at gymnastics nearby. I really love their selection of beers and moody vibes. They make great beer that even the pickiest beer lovers will enjoy. They also have vinyl nights, where you can bring your own or pick a record from their collection.

Beer to try: If available, try one of their saison, Belgian dubbel, or Belgian strong golden. All are malty, magical goodness with deep complex flavors.

Lucky Envelope Brewing

website | cross streets: 9th Ave NW & NW 50th St | best known for: casual atmosphere and well-executed beers

Lucky Envelope Brewing is a no frills, laid back Ballard microbrewery. It’s one of my favorite of the bunch because I have yet to try a craft beer I don’t like. Sure it doesn’t have the ambiance like some of their neighbors, but what it lacks in decor it makes up for in impeccable beers. And they also have some toys and board games to entertain little ones.

Beer to try: If available, try their Two Pepper Pale Ale. This seasonal beer features habanero and shishito peppers. You can actually taste the pepper and bite from the habanero. I love spicy drinks, so this is right up my alley.

Fair Isle Brewing Co.

website | cross streets: NW 49th St & 11 Ave NW | best known for: farmhouse style beers & hip vibes

Fair Isle is one of Ballard’s newest craft breweries. It’s hip as hell with a minimal, hipster interior of concrete floors and moody colors, plus a dreamy Instagram feed. I could go to town taking photos in here!

They create farmhouse style beer, using a unique crafting brewing technique that leverages wild yeasts from the Pacific Northwest. This is one of the other Ballard brewery that’s 21+, so it’s not a good fit for your Seattle brewery tour if you have kids in tow.

Urban Family Brewing Co.

website | cross streets: NW 52nd St & 11 Ave NW | best known for: sour beers

Urban Family is the brewery that opened most recently in Ballard, but they actually moved from Magnolia into a huge modern warehouse space across from Stoup. They have a 21+ upstairs, but allow kids. They focus on sours and IPA, particularly ones with interesting fruit bases like boysenberry. If you have a person who is usually a beer hater but open to trying them, this might be the best stop for them on your self-guided Seattle brewery tour.

website | cross streets: 11th Ave NW & NW 52nd St | best known for: IPAs

Stoup is another brewery that offers a rotating selection of taps and food trucks. Like most of the other breweries, it started in just a small warehouse but has since expanded. They started in a humble warehouse, but since expanded their outdoor patio to include a beer garden with fun ambiance that makes it one of the neighborhood’s most popular spots.

Stoup isn’t my favorite brewery because they’re usually packed and I don’t like IPAs, their bread and butter. However, they are critically-acclaimed for their IPAs, so if your group has IPA beer lovers, head here.

Beer to try: A sampler of their IPAs.

Reuben’s Brews

website | cross streets: 14th Ave NW & NW 51st St | best known for: insane crowds

I’d argue Reuben’s is everyone in Seattle’s favorite Ballard brewery. It’s one of the Ballard neighborhood’s most popular spots, so this place gets crowded because most people’s self-guided tour begins at Reuben’s. I recommend trying to go here on off peak days or times if possible.

I’ve never had a beer here I don’t like, but I don’t have a go-to beer and the crowds give me anxiety, so that’s why I don’t include it as one of my favorites. But it’s crowded for good reason. They make really good beer in a bunch of different varieties. They also have some board games, a big screen TV, and a food truck parked outside on the weekends.

Cloudburst Brewing

website | cross streets: NW Market St & Shilshole Ave NW | best known for: interesting IPAs

Cloudburst Brewing is Ballard’s newest craft brewing spots. I haven’t been here yet, but am very excited for this addition. They started downtown near Pike Place Market, an area I’m not around too often. So now that they are closer to me in Ballard, a visit is in order.

The owner used to brew for Elysian Brewing, but spun off to create bright, seasonal IPAs and a few other varietals like porters. This location allows kids up until 6 pm. After hours, it becomes a 21+ only brewery.

Old Stove Brewing

website | cross streets: 17th Ave NW & NW 49th St | best known for: being that awesome brewery in Pike Place

One of the best Pike Place Market restaurants and breweries recently opened up another brewhouse in Ballard. They have a stunning outdoor beer garden lined with string lights and plants that feels like a little oasis in industrial Ballard. You can expect all the same great beers at their Pike Place location, but with a less tourist-filled space.

Bickersons Brewhouse

website | cross streets: 15th Ave NW & Leary Way NW | best known for: a healthy dose of Belgian-style ales

Bickersons brewhouse is a Renton-based brewery that opened a tasting room in the older Peddler Brewing Company location in Ballard. Owners Shaunn and Frank turned a hobby into a full-fledged bewery and have a varied menu of Belgians, porters, IPAs, sours, and more. I haven’t been yet, but am excited to try their Belgians!

Great Notion Brewing

website | cross streets: 14th Ave NW & NW 51st St | best known for: hazy IPAs and sours

Great Notion is the newest addition to the Seattle brewery tour scene. They started in Portland, Oregon and now have a few different locations throughout the Pacific Northwest. There first move to Seattle was to the Georgetown neighborhood, but now they have two tasting rooms after opening their second on in Ballard in 2020.

They describe their beers as “hazy, fruit-forward IPAs and ‘culinary-inspired’ sours & stouts”. Many of their barrel-aged beers use fruits from the Pacific Northwest, such as pinot noir wine grapes or cherries.

Bale Breaker & Yonder Cider Taproom

website | cross streets: 9th Ave NW & NW 49th St | best known for: hoppy beers and ciders

The newest addition to the Ballard Seattle brewery tour scene is a joint venture between a brewery out in Yakima and a local cider company. They took over the old Populuxe space right in the heart of the brewery district. Like Populuxe, it has a large outdoor beer garden area perfect for sipping in the sun.

Yonder Cider opened in their garage in Phinney. They serve excellent, not-to-sweet hard ciders made with Washington apples. Fun fact, owner Caitlin is a friend of a friend who started a female entrepreneur Facebook group. Caitlin asked for feedback on their logo and packaging before launch, so I got a little sneak peak before the public.

Bale Breaker grows hops at its location in Yakima, so you can expect a lot of hoppy IPAs. Since they’re friends with Yonder, they decided to go in on a joint venture to open a new tasting room.

Wheelie Pop Brewing

website | cross streets: 11th Ave NW & NW 50th St | best known for: using PNW and North American malts and hops

Wheelie Pop is one of the newer Seattle breweries in Ballard. It’s owned by Jeremy and Mark, two friends with a love of motorcycles. The name actually comes from what they used to call wheelies when they were kids: “wheel pops”.

They have a variety of beer types on tap at any given time. You’ll find IPAs, pilsners, stouts, and ambers. What makes them unique is that they source their ingredients from as close to home as possible, meaning you may find Italian pilsners made with Pacific Northwest malts.

Distant West Brewing

website | cross streets: 14th Ave NW & NW 53th St | best known for: using PNW and North American malts and hops

Distant West is the newest brewery on the Seattle brewery scene in Ballard. They took over the old Rueben’s space and have a wide variety of beers with a healthy dose of IPAs and pale ales. The brewery was named after owner Greg’s grandfather who wrote about migrating to the great west from Ireland in the 1910s. So obviously Greg wants to honor him with plenty of west coast-style beers.

Maritime Pacific Brewery & Jolly Roger Taproom

web site  |  cross streets:  11th Ave NW & NW Ballard Way |  best known for:  lagers with a pirate vibe

The Jolly Roger Taproom has been open since I’ve lived in Seattle. Opened in 1990, it’s another one of the OG breweries in Seattle and Ballard. It reminds me of one of those sort-of-dive-bars, sort-of-family-pubs that you’d find down the shore on the east coast. There’s a lot of dark wood and a pirate vibe.

Pour Decisions

website  |  cross streets: 15th Ave NW & NW 80th St | best known for: a quiet neighborhood vibe

This spot is in an unassuming spot on busy 15th Ave toward Crown Hill. It’s not within walking distance from the other breweries, but it’s a good spot if you want a quiet place to grab a beer. You’ll find both Crucible Brewing and Sound Bite Cider under one roof, so it’s good for people who have different tastes in beverages.

Pike Taproom

website | cross streets: Ballard Ave NW & NW Vernon Pl | best known for: big production brews

Pike Brewing is probably one of the most recognizable breweries in Seattle thanks to their prime Pike Place Market location. They opened up a downtown Ballard taproom to get some of their famous brews and some guest taps.

More Ballard tap rooms

Here are spots that don’t brew their own beer, but that serve a bunch of local beers on tap.

Trailbend Taproom

website | cross streets: 11th Ave NW & NW 50th St | best known for: being the most restaurant-like place of the bunch

Trailbend isn’t a brewery, but a taproom that offers a selection of more than 40 beers on draft. More than half of them are local to Washington or Oregon, but there are also a few international pours.

If you think your group would appreciate more posh ambiance and restaurant-like food, come here. There are large tables big enough for large groups and they have a pretty extensive, Italian-leaning menu. If you plan to eat here, get the meatball sandwich or meatball appetizer.

Beer to try: Any of the local craft beers not in the Ballard area, such as Holy Mountain or Cloudburst if on tap

Ballard Beer Company

website | cross streets: NW Market St & Leary Way NW | best known for: A 21+ taproom that’s also a great place to work

Ballard Beer Company is not a brewery, but a 17-tap taproom that offers mostly Ballard beers (and some from all over Washington). They also offer a pretty extension collection of beer bottles for purchase.

It’s located right on the main strip of downtown Ballard, so further away from the other breweries but closer to all the restaurants, bars, and shops in Ballard.

The best part? They’re open during the workday and have wifi, which means it’s a great alternative to a coffee shop if you’re looking for a place to work. There are quite a lot of long high-top tables, so it’s also good for a group.

Skål Beer Hall

website | cross streets: NW Market St & Ballard Ave NW | best known for: serious Viking vibes

Skål is one of the newest additions to the Seattle beer scene. It’s not a brewery, but a viking-inspired beer hall in downtown Ballard known for its food and quirky events for Nordic enthusiasts. If you love exploring Seattle craft beer bars , you’ll like this spot.

Ballard Beer Box

website  |  cross streets: NW Market St & 26th Ave NW | best known for: unique beers and pizza

Ballard Beer Box is one of the newer bottle shops among the Ballard beer scene. They have a show-stopping wall with tropical wallpaper and plenty of seating both inside and in the large back patio. You’ll find a great selection of beers on tap or in cases that you can enjoy onsite with a nominal corkage fee. They have some of my favorites like Garden Path Fermentation out of Skagit and Crux and Ale Apothecary out of Bend.

The other best thing about this spot is that they make excellent pizza. They ferment the dough themselves for 3 days and create 12″ pies in a small oven. You’ll find classics, but don’t miss their funky topping options.

Outpouring Bottle Shop

website  |  cross streets: 24th Ave NW & NW 65th St | best known for: curated list of beer, wine, and cider

This intimate bottle shop is a hidden gem a bit north of downtown Ballard. It’s a dimly-lit, small space with a ton of plants and a few tables. You can grab wine, cider, or beer to go, or grab a glass on tap. They do a great job selecting brews, so given its hidden-gem factor this is a must stop among your Ballard Seattle brewery tour.

Seattle brewery tour itineraries

Here is how I’d spend the ultimate day beer tasting on a Seattle brewery tour, depending if my nieces are in tow are not. Reference my Seattle brewery map below to see how far each of these breweries are from each other.

Family-friendly tour of Seattle breweries

• Start at Rueben’s for a lot of space and games.
• Head to Urban Family Brewing for crowds to drown out rowdy children.
• End at Yonder Cider & Bale Breaker Brewing  with plenty of outdoor space for the kids to run around.

Adult Seattle brewery tour

• Start at the 21+ Obec Brewing for mellow vibes and conversation.
• Saunter over to 21+ Fair Isle Brewing and grab a bite from one of the awesome popups they usually host
• Head to Lucky Envelope to try different beers in a brighter, but still low-key atmosphere. Note they allow kids, but there’s not as much space.

Ballard, Seattle brewery map

The majority of the Ballard breweries take up about a 6-by-12 block area in the residential area of Ballard. There are currently 16 breweries and 6 taprooms. Here they are all laid on a Seattle brewery map.

Transportation for your Seattle brewery tour of Ballard

There’s plenty of street parking if you want to drive and walk between the Ballard breweries, but if you plan on boozing for the day I recommend alternative options like ride sharing or the bus. The bus lines that stop nearby are the 44, 28X, D, 40, and 15X. You could bring a bike and ride between the breweries, but again, be safe friends.

You might have also seen the comical Cycle Saloon around Ballard. It’s a 15-person covered wagon that people pedal like a bike to move. They offer Seattle brewery tours of the Ballard breweries, which I did with my sister and her friends.

If you’re wondering, I don’t think it’s worth it. It’s quite expensive for a short amount of time and it doesn’t include any beer in the price. Plus you can’t bring beer on the vehicle (which was a disappointing surprise). So while it’s funny and a quirky way to explore the area, I’d say only do it if you can get on one for free.

Once you’re at the Ballard breweries, you can easily walk between them to do your own Seattle brewery tour. There’s a cluster of them between between NW 52nd St & 49th St, so if some people in your group can’t handle walking between the mile range to visit all the Ballard breweries in this guide, stay in that area. Reference my Seattle brewery map above for guidance!

BONUS: Tasting with a beer hater?

I’ll be honest, I don’t understand these people. But if you have beer haters in your crew, or maybe you just want to change it up, there are some options for places to stop during your Seattle brewery tour.

Besides the many bars and cocktail bars in downtown Ballard, there’s also Domanico Cellars and Wildwood Spirits .

We hosted my sister’s (Jersey Shore-themed) 40th birthday party at Domanico, which is in walking distance of most of the Ballard breweries. They have really good red wines in an unassuming warehouse with strings of white lights. I haven’t been to Locust Cider Taproom yet, but it’s a new cider place that opened in downtown Ballard. Plus a lot of the breweries will have guest taps, oftentimes featuring cider alongside beers.

Basically, you can rest assured there is something for everyone at the Ballard breweries. I’ll continue to update this guide as new places open or close. What are your favorites? Did I happen to miss any? Let me know in the comments!

More ideas for crawls & self-guided Seattle tours

Like more than just beer? Here are some other ideas for self-guided tours of Seattle.

• Go on a self-guided Seattle food tour of either Ballard or Fremont, two of my favorite neighborhoods.
• Explore the best Seattle urban wineries for a day of wine tasting
• Take a day trip and explore the best Woodinville wineries about 30 minutes from Seattle.

The Best Brewery in Seattle: Fremont Brewing .

On This Page Best Seattle Breweries Downtown Seattle Breweries Capitol Hill Breweries Ballard Breweries Fremont Breweries Interbay Breweries SoDo Breweries Georgetown Breweries Leschi Breweries Best Brewery Tours & Tastings Old Ballard Brewery Tour – Fun & interesting tour of the best neighborhood in Seattle for local craft breweries. Fishermen’s Terminal Brewery Tour – Great beer amid a waterfront setting. Pike Brewing Tour & Tasting – Excellent brewery tour of this Pike Place Market institution. (Unfortunately, temporarily canceled as of October, 2023.) Many of Seattle’s best breweries are located outside of downtown. I’ve included transit information when applicable, but most of these spots are a cheap cab/Lyft/Uber from downtown Seattle. A few breweries operate like pubs and serve food. Those that don’t, usually welcome outside food being brought (or ordered) in. Check taproom hours before you go. Many keep odd hours and aren’t open late. Many breweries and taprooms are kid- and dog-friendly. If you’ve found a great spot that’s not on the list, and you’re unsure whether dogs or children are welcome, it’s a good idea to call. The Pike Place Market Chef-Guided Food Tour is our favorite tour in downtown Seattle.

Downtown Seattle Breweries

The awesome views and outdoor patio at Old Stove Brewing in Pike Place Market .

Old Stove Brewing Co. Pike Place Market’s newest brewery provides a perfect pit stop during a day spent sightseeing. They’ve got 16 hand-crafted local beers on tap, as well as a rotating cider and wine selection, all housed within a comfortable, airy space that has wonderful views and is open to the outdoors in nice weather. The long picnic-style tables are ideal for large groups or making friends. Take home your favorite brew in a 32oz “crowler.” (It’s an old-school beer can filled and closed right in front of you.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 1901 Western Ave

Cloudburst Brewing

Tucked into an unassuming spot on Pike Place Market’s northern edge, Cloudburst distributes bold and refreshing ales often infused with unexpected citrus notes and other, more eccentric touches. The founder, Steve Luke, was previously the experimental brewer at Elysian, and sampling his latest creations with the other connoisseurs gathered by the narrow, open-air entryway is a distinctly Seattle pleasure. Of the many delicious options, be sure to try the Market Saison, which rotates new flavor combinations based off the Market’s freshest ingredients (strawberry and mint, on a recent, early summer visit). The good folks at Cloudburst welcome outside food and well-behaved dogs, but ask that you leave the kiddos at home. Hours • Website • Reviews • 2116 Western Avenue

Pike Brewing Company

A Pike Place Market stalwart, and one of the biggest outfits on this list, Pike Brewery has been creating great craft beer since 1989. They create seven beers year-round (the Kilt Lifter Scotch-style ale and XXXXX Stout are particularly popular), as well as limited and seasonal beers like Harlot’s Harvest pumpkin ale and Auld Acquaintance Hoppy Holiday Ale. Their in-house pub offers a good selection of local and organic alehouse-style grub, and with $5 and a reservation you can tour the brewery and see and sample their beer-making process in action. Pike Pub and Brewery is very family-friendly – they’ve got a great kids’ menu, and kids over 6 are welcome on the brewery tours (they tour free) – but no dogs allowed. Hours • Website • Reviews • 1415 1st Avenue

Capitol Hill Breweries

Elysian brewing company.

Despite being purchased by Anheuser-Busch in 2015, Elysian remains a Seattle institution, with four different locations now open since launching in 1996. Their home base is still on Capitol Hill, in a cavernous and often-crowded space offering solid pub food, alongside standards like the beloved Immortal IPA and a rotating selection of seasonal options and limited editions. Of the latter, keep an eye out for The Dread, a dark and rich Imperial Stout aged in oak barrels and hopped up with admirable gusto. While being owned by AB may have cut into Elysian’s hip factor, the welcoming vibe of the venue and broadly enjoyable flavors of the brews (which have lost none of their crispness since the merger) make it a fun, easy stop on any beer lover’s tour of the city. Kid-friendly til 11pm. (From downtown: Take the light rail to the Capitol Hill station – Elysian is about an 8-10 minute walk away – or take one of numerous buses (11, 49, 2, 7) that serve the pike/pine corridor.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 1221 East Pike Street

Ballard Breweries

Reuben’s Brews in the hip Ballard neighborhood of North Seattle.

Reuben’s Brews Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood has become extremely popular, and with that popularity the character of the area has seen a major shift toward fancy restaurants, boutique stores, and expansive residential development. But Ballard cuts a wide swath across the city’s northwest corner, and there are still pockets of the rickety warehouse spaces that once helped define its personality. Reuben’s has taken advantage of that lingering understated vibe, putting one of Seattle’s best breweries in the middle of a low-key residential/industrial area. The beer selection is extensive, with traditionally-brewed and barrel-aged favorites; even a small (but potent) collection of sours – a rarity in Seattle. Reuben’s is kid/dog-friendly and welcomes outside food: order a pie at a discount from the adjacent Zeek’s pizza (a Seattle institution), or grab a bite from one of the rotation of food trucks that drops by daily. (From downtown: Your easiest route is the “rapid ride” D line from downtown; get off right after crossing the Ballard Bridge at Leary. From there, it’s a 5-10 minute stroll to the northeast.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 5010 14th Avenue Northwest

Stoup Brewing

Right around the corner from Reuben’s in the same “Ballard brewery district” is Stoup Brewing, whose specialties include their renowned stouts and porters – the Robust Porter is a particular dark chocolatey favorite. Their beloved Citra IPA has a summery burst of bitter that offsets the malty goodness of their darker offerings. You can find their ales on tap and available in limited supply in a number of venues around the city, but the tasting room is definitely worth seeking out, especially if you’re on a Ballard-centric crawl. Low-key and friendly, they’ve got butcher paper and crayons for the kids, and their charming outdoor area is great for groups. Dogs and outside food are welcome – there’s usually a food truck parked nearby. (From downtown: Your easiest route is the “rapid ride” D line from downtown; get off right after crossing the Ballard Bridge at Leary. From there, it’s a 5-10 minute stroll to the northeast.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 1108 Northwest 52nd Street

Bad Jimmy’s Brewing Co.

If Seattle’s top-flight tasting rooms tend to have a ramshackle feel to them, Bad Jimmy’s, set along Leary Way’s industrial edge, is no exception. It has a back-alley warehouse space resembling a converted garage, and a deliberate lack of pretension that puts the focus on the beer. The brew-loving crew behind the operation have made better use of the building than most others, however: aggressively red-lit and styled with a kind of punk/rockabilly aesthetic, the venue often hosts parties in the upstairs loft space, as well as events in the indoor/outdoor area out front. Jimmy’s indulges in some enhancements and filtering which beer purists might initially dismiss as too precious, but their subtle infusions tweak core, hop-derived flavors in ways that don’t overwhelm. Recently they featured a “Mai Tai PA” (say it out loud) that incorporated pineapple and orange accents while delivering the bitter edge that IPA lovers expect. Well-behaved dogs and outside food are welcome. Kids are welcome til 7pm. (From downtown: the 40 and 28 buses can get you within a few blocks.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 4358-B Leary Way Northwest

Fremont Breweries

Fremont brewing.

My favorite brewery in Seattle and the best outdoor patio of any Seattle brewery. Kids and dogs welcome indoors and out. It’s a popular stop for cyclists riding the Burke-Gilman path (just across the street). Free pretzels and apples but no menu so bring take-out from Fremont’s large array of restaurants (most are 2 to 4 blocks away). Fill growlers, grab 6-packs to go, or buy top quality hats, t-shirts, and hoodies. Oh, and the beer is awesome too. (From downtown: the 28 bus stops 2 blocks to the west of the brewery.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 1050 N 34th Street

Interbay Breweries

Holy mountain brewing.

Situated in an industrial, plain part of town – as many of booming Seattle’s best breweries are – Holy Mountain is referred to by many in almost reverent tones. That aura of specialness is partially explained by the impermanence of their approach; unlike a lot of even the smallest, spunkiest breweries, Holy Mountain has no recurring “standard” beers. The whole menu rotates out with seasonality and, often, secondary fermentation that keeps any one beer from staying consistently available. A visit in June yields hoppy saisons and Czech-style Pilsners; in December, the featured ale could be an Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels. The tasting room itself is aggressively sparse and modern/warehouse chic without trying too hard, complete with hardwood booths and a sliding door on the back wall that opens out into a field of train tracks. It’s a place of worship for beer aficionados and Northwest hipsters alike. Bring in your outside food, but leave the kids and dogs at home. (From downtown: The trusty D line drops you within a few blocks.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 1421 Elliott Avenue West

SoDo Breweries

Ghostfish brewing.

The first and only dedicated gluten-free craft brewery in the state, Ghostfish produces top-notch brews that even gluten-frindlies will love. By eschewing the use of barley in favor of malted gluten-free grains like millet and buckwheat, the brewers at Ghostfish get the most out of the hops they use, giving rise to monstrous (and delicious) beers like the “Peak Buster” double IPA and its 130 IBU. They also excel at Belgian-style ales; the Shrouded Summit Witbier is opaque and citrusy, with a nice, bracing hint of juniper in the finish. Both ales are on the “flagship” list, and available year round. Besides being gluten-free, Ghostfish distinguishes itself by fashioning a proper restaurant/pub experience out of their tasting room: They offer a full menu (gluten-free, of course, with many vegetarian and vegan options) and flat screens showing Mariners, Seahawks, or Sounders games (all three teams play only a mile away from here in the Stadium district). Family-friendly until 7pm, dog-friendly always. (From downtown: The 21 bus will drop you within a block. However, you will have to pass the stadiums to get there, so take note of any events that might be happening, as related traffic will add to travel times) Hours • Website • Reviews • 2942 1st Avenue South

Georgetown Breweries

Machine house brewery.

Set in the increasingly trendy industrial neighborhood of Georgetown, Machine House Brewing specializes in ales derived from English hops. This gives rise to some debate in local beer-drinking circles, since unlike many Northwest specialty brewers, the beers they concoct are relatively mild. Those seeking complex bitterness and through-the-roof IBU counts might thus be slightly disappointed, but if you are after an easy-drinking, reasonably low alcohol beverage, this is a fantastic choice. Set just off Georgetown’s main drag along Airport Way, the room is housed in the old Rainier Brewing location: a hulking—yet welcoming—brick warehouse, with indoor/outdoor areas that accommodates live music events, art openings, and other events. There’s no kitchen, but Machine house welcomes outside food, and is dog/family-friendly – they even have a corner play area with toys and games for the littlest customers. (Getting there from downtown: Regular bus service runs from routes 124 and 106; by car, it’s reachable in 10-15 minutes. One note: You will have to pass the stadiums to get there, so take note of any events that might be happening, as related traffic will add to travel times.) Hours • Website • Reviews • 5840 Airport Way South

Leschi Breweries

Standard brewing.

Hop heaven for beer drinkers, Standard’s output is small, but potent. The tasting room is just a little wedge, with a fairly expansive outdoor area – a constant lure for nearby residents and devotees who come from across the city. While IPAs are the order of the day here, Standard founder Justin Gerardy keeps the alcohol content (ABV) reasonable, and his brews highly sip-able on both rainy days and sunny afternoons alike. No food, but the staff is fine with you bringing in nearby grub; the Atlantic across the street offers a great selection of local cheese and hearty salads, among other dishes. Well-behaved dogs and children are welcome. (Getting there from downtown: The 8, 14, and 27 buses all get you close, but you might consider a taxi or Uber; from the downtown core, it’s likely a sub-$10 fare.)

Craft Beer Guide's Ultimate Local Brewery Showdown!

Seattle Brewery Walking Tours

Many tourists love a good tour to get the feel of the city, town, or vacation destination they’re visiting. And of all tours, walking tours are usually the most enjoyable. The unhurried, slow pace allows you to savor the experience while getting really close to the people and the buildings around you. So, when a walking tour takes you not just to one brewery, but three, you know you’ve just hit the jackpot of all walking tours! This is what Seattle Brewery Walking Tours specializes in. As the winner of the Travel & Hospitality award, their tours are fun-filled, less than a mile long, and offer four tastings at each brewery.

Central Ballard Brewery Tour

This one involves a short walk in the heart of Ballard’s brewing district that takes you through three breweries. The three breweries are Reuben’s Brews, Obec Brewing, and Stoup Brewing. All three are surprisingly close to each other, which means that you won’t have to walk far before you reach the next brewery and it’s incredible beer. You start with Reuben’s Brews, the family-owned and -operated brewery, then make your way to Obec Brewing and their Czech beer. Your final leg is Stoup Brewing, a hip place that reflects Seattle complex culture. The whole tour lasts three hours.

East Ballard Brewery Tour

This tour takes you East Ballard. All in all, you get to walk less than half a mile to visit Lucky Envelope, Populuxe, and Bad Jimmy’s. It will take you around 3.5 hours to visit them all and enjoy four beer tastings per brewery. You also come out with a souvenir beer tasting glass, souvenir bottle opener, and a food-beverage pairing guide. And if you’re not crazy about beer, other beverages are available. Make sure not to take the tour on an empty stomach; this is not a food tour, and the beer will hit you faster if you’re hungry!

Seattle Brewery Walking Tours also offers an Old Ballard Brewery Tour and Fishermen’s Terminal Brewery Tour. You can reach them by phone at 206-947-4001.

• Sabine S 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fun exploration of Seattle's microbrewery culture What a great introduction to the microbrewery culture of the Pacific Northwest! Tim, who runs this tour, is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about beer. He even created a beer guide, including an explanation of beer terminology, tasting sheets, and a pairing guide for participants. Most of all tho, the tour was a lot of fun. The breweries all seemed very popular with locals and we had a total of 3 flights with 4 small beers on each of them. Needles to say, I couldn't finish all of them - but I definitely had fun trying. As someone who isn't a beer expert at all, I really feel I learned a lot about the different brewing methods and my own taste on this tour. Tim is a wonderful guide (our small group had a little meetup hiccup in the beginning which he managed smoothly) and I fully recommend taking this tour to learn more about Seattle's beer culture.

• meredithw568 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Book this! Tim was awesome! He starts by talking about how to best sample each beer (observe, smell, taste, feel), but as we drank each type, he’d talk about the history and origin story. Tim was a cornucopia of knowledge, both brewing and general history of Seattle. After a short while, it felt more like hanging with a knowledgeable friend than a “tour”. Highly recommend him!!

Old Ballard Brewery Tour provided by Seattle Brewery Walking Tours

Seattle Beer Tasting: A Self-Guided Seattle Brewery & Food Tour

Seattle, Washington is a craft beer lover’s and foodies paradise, so why not combine the two? We decided to do just that and had so much fun we just had to share it with our fellow fans of brews and bites. We have created a delicious Seattle Beer Tasting Tour which includes suggestions for beer and food pairings as well as tips on taking in some of the sights along the way.

This self-guided Seattle Brewery Tour is very walkable which means you can leave the car at home and hop on public transit to downtown Seattle or better yet get a hotel room for the night and make it a fun overnight or weekend getaway. Of course, if you must come by car and drive home afterward please make sure you have a designated driver.

We suggest this Seattle Beer Tasting Tour be done in the afternoon/early evening and that you should allow at least 3 hours for the tasting and an additional 2-3 hours to take in the sights along the way.

Seattle Beer Tasting Tour

Tasting stop #1: cloudburst brewing.

In January, 2016, former Elysian brewer, Steve Luke, opened the doors to the much anticipated Cloudburst Brewing. The tasting room is simple and humble but the fun and delicious brews are anything but boring. It seems that as much time is taken when naming the beers as is on the exceptional brewing itself. At the time of writing, you could try brews such as Dumpster Fire (Smoked Oatmeal Stout), Soft Shock (IPA with Polaris, Citra, Amarillo, Mosaic, El Dorado, Melon & Ella) and Happy Little Clouds (Bastardized German Pilsner).

Note: No food is served at Cloudburst but you’re welcome to bring your own if you can’t wait for the next stop on our tasting tour

Tasting Stop #2: Pike Place Chowder House

When you leave Cloudburst turn left on Western Ave which will take you in the direction of Pike Place Market. Turn left on Virginia street and right onto Post Alley and go a couple of blocks until you reach the Pike Place Chowder House . They will usually be serving at least eight different delicious chowders in four sizes plus a sourdough bread bowl. If you can’t decide do as we do and go with the sampler. The smoked salmon and the Market chowder are our personal faves.

Note: If chowder isn’t your thing there are plenty of other eateries on the route or just continue on to the next tasting stop.

Sights Along the Way

• Browse the well-stocked Pike and Western Wine Shop
• Take a peek in the sexy Pink Door known for their Burlesque and trapeze shows
• The famous Post Alley starts here with unique shops and restaurants

Tasting Stop #3: Old Stove Brewing

One street up from Pike Place Chowder on 1 st Ave is Old Stove Brewing . The decor creates a rustic, old world charm with a fabulous 25 ft mural, community seating and of course an old Kalamazoo stove. They will have their own brews on tap plus some additional guests and they offer a great assortment of appies and gourmet sandwiches. We suggest you try the Beecher’s and Mt Townsend Cheese Plate with the Old Stove Pilsner or the French Dip with Provolone cheese and spicy relish paired with the Galaxy Smash Pale Ale.

Tasting Stop #4: Pike Place Brewing

Just down the road on the other side of the market is The Pike. Having started in 1989, Pike Place Brewing is no newbie to the craft brewing scene and their experience and dedication shows . This family run brewery and pub makes ‘local and sustainable’ a priority by sourcing many of the ingredients for both beer and food from suppliers in the Pacific Northwest who feel the same way.

The space is large and colorful and fun for all ages. Take a pub and brewery tour if you have the time or grab a table and get ready for a great taste sensation. The food and beer menu is large and varied so you may have a hard time choosing but they do have suggested beer pairings to make it easier. How about a Dungeness Crab & Artichoke Dip with a mug of Pike Naughty Nellie Organic Golden Ale? Or maybe Pike’s Pulled Pork sandwich with a smoky Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale?

• Post Alley continues with the colorful and somewhat disturbing gum wall

Tasting Stop # 4: Copperworks Distilling Company

Once you’ve had your fill of Pike Place head down the steps on Union Street and then left on Alaskan Way for a block to Copperworks Distilling . This craft distillery and tasting room creates premium spirits using traditional Scottish copper stills custom built for them. We highly recommend a 4 spirit tasting flight of some of their top-notch gin, vodka, and whiskey and if you can time it right they offer a really good 1-hour tour led by the distiller.

Note: Tours do require an advance reservation.

The final tasting stop of Copperworks leaves you at the waterfront with plenty more to see, eat and drink.

• Browse the strange and bizarre at Ye Olde Curiosity Shop
• Take a spin on the Seattle Waterfront Carousel
• Ride the Seattle Great Wheel for awesome city and harbor views
• Have dinner at the famous Crab Pot
• Shoot back an oyster beer shot at the pier

Where to Stay for Seattle Beer Tasting

There are plenty of fabulous Seattle hotels within close proximity to this tasting tour but here are a couple of our favorites.

Inn at the Market

The lovely Inn at the Market is located at Pike Place Market itself so it makes a great accommodation choice for our Seattle Brewery Tour. The rooms have stylish contemporary and comfortable decor and offer stunning views of the city, market, and waterfront.

Hotel Andra

The luxury boutique Hotel Andra is in the heart of the action but offers a charming, quiet respite at the end of the day. The calming, residential, Scandinavian design of the common areas and rooms will make you feel right at home and miles away from the hustle and bustle just outside the doors.

Note: If you want more choices, including budget options, we suggest using Hotels Combined . This site lets you browse all of the accommodations nearby and finds the best prices as they show many of the top booking sites all in one place.

SEATTLE PARTY BIKE AND BOAT REVIEWS

The cycle pontoon was so much fun! My group had previously done the cycle saloon and had a blast, so we knew the pontoon would not disappoint. Beautiful weather, great guide, good times had by all. Would highly recommend!

My whole group had the BEST time! We were a mix of Seattle residents and out-of-towners, and everyone said it was the highlight of their weekend/trip. Captain Ethan knew a ton about the lake and goings-on around it and was very tolerant of our music choices. I’d definitely book the boat again for a group activity!

We had an amazing experience for my friends 50th birthday! She is still raving that this was her best birthday ever. Our driver was awesome and funny, two thumbs up!! Thanks for a great ride!

Thank you Angie for making the tour worthy of a 31 year old beer drinker. Rocking out to Queen as we pulled back into the starting point was awesome.

About Seattle Brewery Walking Tours

For beer enthusiasts, Seattle Brewery Walking Tours is a brewery tour that explores the genuine Seattle micro-brewery community. Unlike large bus tours or asking your Uber driver where to get a good beer, we offer a relaxing guided tour and beer tasting that connects with the local breweries and the neighborhood. As a result, you will learn about the history and uniqueness of Seattle micro-breweries, experience hand tailored tastings and learn about each brewery’s distinctive beer styles, and enjoy a nice walk with some amazing people.

I will be your guide and mentor during our illuminating tour of Seattle’s micro-breweries and beers. I am not a brewer but I am a fan of the brewer’s art. Like most Americans my first beer was an illicit can of mass produced lager at a teenaged revelry, probably behind some bushes in the backyard. I wasn’t too impressed. Then, while traveling around Europe when I was 21, I ended up in a beer hall in Munich and my eyes, and taste buds, were opened. But back in the States in the late 1970’s it was hard to find a good beer. Anchor Steam in San Francisco was an early favorite but it was hard to find. In 1983 I moved to Seattle just before the Micro-Brewing Renaissance took off.

• “…Entertaining, informative and professional. Perfect gift for someone who loves beer. Don’t watch this without a good beer.”-Daniel Bradford, All About Beer
• “Excellent reference guide for the beer enthusiast.”-R.R.,  Northwest Beer News
• “…a work of art and belongs in every beer hunter’s library. It’s sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates good beer.”-Phil Doersam, Southern Draft Brew News
• “An encyclopedic look at the history, brewing and types of malt, with tips from beer maven  Michael Jackson.” – S . News and World Report
• “The visual equivalent of a Hale’s Pale- Smooth and satisfying.” -Rick Bonino, The Spokesman Review
• “Grab a glass of your favorite beer and settle down for a wide-angle view of the world of brewing.” -Lucy Saunders, BEER, the magazine
• “If this video is any indication, today’s drinking man—and woman—is also a thinking man. A great way to get into the spirit.”- Billboard

That is why I started Seattle Brewery Walking tours. To have some great beers, visit some wonderful breweries and make new friends along the way. I hope you join me on my next tour.
