THE BREWERY HAS CLOSED

Our Story

We were a family-owned, family-run artisan brewery. We fulfilled a dream of fostering community and crafting some unique and delicious beers. Thanks to everyone who encouraged and supported our adventure over the years. Cheers.

Chapter 1: In 2009, after years of mapping road trips to hit as many breweries as possible, we brewed our first batch on a whim. Like many homebrewers, we started with an 8 gallon stock pot and a simple plastic bucket. Our first beer brewed on the kitchen stove was good enough that we were emboldened to keep going.

Chapter 2: In 2012, we relocated from the kitchen to the garage. We upgraded to a 20 gallon 3-vessel system and temperature controlled conical fermenter. The notion of "going pro" was still more daydream than plan, but we picked our name - a tribute to one of the unique aspects of Seattle (and fixture in our daily commute) - just in case.

Chapter 3: In 2014, we started focusing on making the dream a reality. After 9 months of location hunting, we signed our lease on a neighborhood location with a storied history. And after another 11 months of demoing, jackhammering, contractor wrangling, second guessing, painting and cleaning we brewed our first batch in May 2016.

Chapter 4: On July 21st, 2016 we opened our doors! We started with 6 beers on tap. Fast forward 3 years and we now have 18 taps. In those 3 years we've also added barrel-aged beers, cans, trivia night, Seattle's best happy hour and more.

Chapter 5: And then there was COVID. We rolled with the punches for 14 months staying open throughout the pandemic. But ultimately our lease neared expiration and we unable to come to viable terms with the landlord. Last call was Saturday, May 15th 2021.
