38 Best Craft Breweries near Kenmore

“This is our favorite brewery! Rachel and the "boys" are the best beertenders anywhere! Service is great, food trucks are outstanding. We also love the patrons. Every one is so friendly and helpful. They also share their canine friends. And did I mention the beers are world class? Too many great ones- I can't pick a favorite.“

“Every time I come to this part of town I go here I really enjoy it the menu is cool it's got your staples and outside the box stuff too which when I'm in the mood I love the option I haven't been disappointed yet. It's kid friendly my son loves it. I don't drink so can't talk on that but my friends seem to love it but they could just be alcoholics lol service has always been good. Safe bet for you and family.“

“I usually don't talk about a particular business yet this Brewing taproom has multiple activities that bring your enjoyment in the northend. It is a location where you can enjoy good music, practice your open mic, dance, eat, meet new people, and enjoy awesome drinks. Also the opportunity to do your business meeting indoors and outdoor right by the Berg Gilman trail. If you are in Kenmore make sure to visit this place as most nights they'll have a fun activity“

“Love coming here when it’s sunny to read and enjoy some great beer. The variety of taps is wonderful, lots of choices for IPAs but also a great selection of less juicy/hoppy beers. The pils was great easy drinking for our week of fake spring“

“fair isle has rapidly become my go to brewery since they opened. a little off the beaten path means it doesn't get nearly as loud and "bro-tastic" as the other Ballard breweries. the beer itself is excellent and their experimental nature means their is always something new to try. the occasional food is always tasty. overall, fair isle is my favorite of all the Ballard breweries; a well hidden secret that I hate to share.“

“Fantastic beer and a great vibe with the people (both staff and customers). Every time I'm in there, I dig how many "regulars" are in there and known by the staff. There's an obvious connection with the neighborhood residents, plus they're pretty good with the out-of-towners like me! Get there and throw one down!“

“This place is great!! I didn't even know it was here. It's tucked behind Qfc/Elliott Bay Pizza. They have a great variety of beers. Light to dark. Definitely come in and get a flight to try them. Very clean place, and the owner (Matt) is super friendly. This is a place to come with kids! We parked at North Creek Park and ventured through the boardwalk and into 4 Stitch. Very cool way to do it. Bring your friends!! It's a good hang with friends. Can't wait to come during the summer months. I'll definitely be back!!!! ? Prost!“

“Friendly staff. They have a really good red ale, a kind of beer that is often hard to find. They sell in in a six pack of cans also. Large indoor space with TVs, a nice covered outdoor area also. A really good semi-hipster playlist was on. Many dogs with their owners on site.“

“Came to check out this local brewery after seeing their post on how they might be closing and wanted to support our local businesses and try out their beers, of course! When I walked in, I was nervous because a lot of breweries welcome children but it's never spacious or have proper seating options (I don't just mean highchairs), but only stool seating you know? NOT Peace of Mind! It is SO spacious inside, booths and stool and even couch areas are available. The bartenders were so friendly and engaging with our kiddos. I loved the booths and the dart and game areas that they provide. Some might think it's a turn off, but I think it's cool they let you bring in your own food. They do have food trucks outside that had pretty decent Mexican food, nothing special... but besides that! Very cozy and comfortable brewery with friendly staff.“

“My mid day study session was in need of a beer, and I'm glad I chose Stoup! Their wifi reaches the upstairs 21+ seating area which was perfect for me.Pretty IPA-heavy selection, but that's pretty expected for most breweries. They still have a couple lighter beers and some sours, as well as canned cider and wine available.“

“My Son brought me here and I couldn't be happier. A great place to hang with the locals and drink excellent beer, my favorite being Bad Habit, so good. Come find your own favorite beer too, while playing one of several pinball machines or mingle and expand your friend circle. A++“

“A fun spot and a recommended stop if you're doing a Ballard brewery hopping day -- we stopped by at the tail end of our day and it was the perfect spot to wrap things up. The bartenders are good at making recommendations and the whole vibe is laid back -- they have lots of board games and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! It's definitely less crowded than some of the usual suspects in the Ballard brewery row area. I also appreciated their tie-in decor to all things racing, including some motorsport racing circuits. Everything from the logo to the small decorative touches... chef's kiss!“

“A consistently good, but rarely exceptional brewery. Perhaps my expectations are too high due to the history, head brewer, etc for this brewery, but I was expecting some truly fantastic IPAs. While all of the IPAs on tap were definitely above average, nothing blew us away in the way we hoped. Cloudburst definitely knows what they are doing, though. I expect them to be a pillar of Seattle brewing for the foreseeable future. Staff was fine, but not particularly friendly or knowledgeable. While we went in the middle of winter, it was approximately the same temperature inside as it was outside as well. There are a few kinks to work out as far as service goes.“

“The beer is great, but the staff is incredible. This is one of those places that keeps me coming back simply because I love their staff so much. Even if their beer sucked (which it most certainly does not), I would still keep going here. I love having this place in the neighborhood.“

“Savage Brewing offers an enticing blend of exceptional brews and delectable sausages on sticks. With a cozy ambiance and a friendly staff, it's the perfect spot for beer enthusiasts and foodies alike. Each sip reveals the craftsmanship behind their flavors, making it a must-visit for any local beer connoisseur.“

“We seem to stop off here often when walking around Ballard and spent a fair amount of time at the previous brewery in this location. I can't recall if I have been to the Renton location of this brewery beforehand. This is one of the newer breweries in Ballard and worth a stop off if you haven't made it in yet. Like most places in the area it's street parking only. They don't have their own food, but there is food available next door which can be brought over. I like that this location is large where you don't feel as cramped as at many of the Ballard breweries and has 2 bathrooms. You can choose to sit inside if the weather is cold, although the outdoor area is much larger. It's good for meeting a larger party, since you likely will not find a big spot to sit at most of the other places. The outdoor area is covered, so you will be dry, but the heating is not as great as you would hope. There's always a large selection of beer available, which seems to change frequently. I also appreciate a place where you can see the taplist thru the window outside without having to go in case nothing appeals to you, with so many breweries in the area you do have to be a little picky. Bonus points for the brewery cat.“

“Awesome, chill brewery with a great selection of sours and interesting flavor combos! I really liked the Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade Sour and my friends enjoyed their IPAs. Plenty of seating both indoors and out, as well as the usual brewery amusements like board games and merch for sale.“

“From the moment I stepped inside Side Hustle Taproom, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance exuded warmth and conviviality, with a delightful mix of rustic decor and modern touches. The cozy seating arrangements invited conversations among fellow beer and cider lovers, creating an instant sense of camaraderie that permeated throughout the taproom.“

“Love this cute spot on google campus on CKC. The beers are good and they offer snacks. Only had pretzel and the ice cream sandwich which were both good. Sometimes there are food trucks as well although wish this was better advertised. They should have a section on their website letting people know the food truck schedule. Best in the summer/nice weather when you can also bundle with a visit to playground, basketball court, water spray feature, etc that are also on google campus but even now in winter they have heaters and plastic coverings to keep the area dry. Feels like a nice/local spot.“

“Ravenna brewing is the boss. They have only a few taps but some very solid drips. The bourbon vanilla stout should, if it has not already, win awards. The hazy IIPA tonight was good as well. The space is tight, but multi-level, if good weather, quirkily convenient. All-around,a nice, budding brewery!! (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧“

“Gallagher's is AMAZING! I highly recommend to anyone that likes a good beer to stop by. Chris and Gregg at are kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about all things beer. There are 8 rotating taps covering a wide range of styles and change often so everything is super fresh. Even if you have no desire to brew yourself, this place has an easy, laid back, unpretentious vibe. If your kids and dog are well behaved, you may bring them too!In early November, I was frustrated by not finding the beer styles I wanted locally so I stopped in. Man, am I glad I did! Two weeks later, with Gregg's recipe adjustment suggestions, I brewed up a full batch of English stye Porter. I kegged and bottled it 3 weeks later. Chris even cleaned and sanitized my 5 gallon soda kegs for me! The next day, I brewed up a batch of Czech style Pilsner. I'll keg and bottle it last week of December.I've tapped the first keg of Porter, and It's very close to what I was aiming for. I've already discussed minor recipe adjustments with Gregg to make the next Porter even better.Come visit Gallagher's. You'll be glad you did.“

“Very chill space. Casual vibe, lots of locals and regulars. Great place to visit and get a sense of Seattle and the local micro-brew scene. Couches, tables, barstools, wifi; upstairs there's more tables and couches, plus games and a pool table. No kids, 21 and older only. No food, but food trucks almost every day. And damn good beer. They have at least 25 on tap, moat they make themselves. Plenty of parking too. Bring your own food, or get it from food trucks or nextstore. Truly "come as you are" and bring your dog, too.“

“This is my 200th brewery I've visited!This is a cute neighborhood garage, a sort of man cave for darts, games, pinball, dogs, a variety of beers from the area, and a couple brewed at the place (3 when I visited). Cute, warm even on a winter night, and pleasantly cozy.“

“Excellent pizza and atmosphere. This was one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time, and I just liked the way the room was staged. There was a large party in the backroom, but they seemed to have their own space. I'm definitely looking forward to eating here again the next time I'm in the area.“

“One of our friends described this very Seattle brewery perfectly: You see people playing D&D while the Seahawks are playing. Beers are brewed in house! We love playing games and hanging out here. Friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere. I mean, how can you beat hanging out, drinking and playing board games while watching sci-fi films / Seahawks games? Strangely to some, the most impressive aspect is the restroom setup. Gender neutral rooms with tampons/pads on hand for those who need them. For those who don't typically see this setup, it's kind of a big deal and helps this brewery stand out.“

“This is a very very awesome brewery! I am excited at the opportunity to work with them, to help them have live events like comedy, music, and other forms of entertainment. It is a really nice space and has a nice outdoor area and is in a great neighborhood. The neighborhood has a 1990s nostalgic light feeling, in a way that the other parts of Seattle do not currently have anymore. (With the exception of West Seattle, which still very much holds onto that feeling I so much miss from my childhood) So go to the brewery! Have fun, be safe, and laugh a lot! - Noah aka DinoDad“

“A small local brewery that makes excellent brews. No, eh beer here. From Pilsner to stout and IPA to porter they do it right. They have a great knack for making boozy beers that don't taste or smell boozy, which is also dangerous if you're not paying attention“

“I love this place! Great ambience, lively people, and it has a European vibe with the picnic tables outside under a tent. A good place to hold a late afternoon business meeting when it's a Thursday/ Friday and EVERYONE wants to get out of the office for a change of scene. On draft, I recommend Queen Anne's Revenge, when it's available. And just when you realize you need a snack, there's a food truck right outside. Also, quite a cool merchandise shelf. I couldn't resist purchasing a hat to start off the new year.“

“Been coming here for years! The beer is great and the service is very friendly. I love the blonde ale, but it's hard to go wrong. It is also my go to camping beer: does great in growlers and super refreshing, crisp beers are always on tap.“

“I've been to Lantern a couple of times to meet friends. They have a lot of tables inside, but depending on the time of day, they may fill up. Also note that the place is kid friendly and the stroller and kid contingent tends to dominate the place earlier. If you want to avoid that, that grouo tends to clear out towards 7, consequently freeing up tables.About the beer: when I go to a brewery, especially in the PNW, I tend to eyeball their IPA selection. In the two times I've been to Lantern, what I've noticed is that they haven't had an IPA selection. That isn't terrible in itself, and it kind of forces me to expand my choices. I've had pales and sours (which they had a couple of the times I've gone), and had their gose the last time, which all of us enjoyed.For food, there's usually a truck. Last time was a nice Mexican truck, which was really quite tasty.Parking sucks. Arriving around 6:30 increases your chances because the folks with kids and their SUVs tend to be heading out at that time.“

“Came here for a Christmas party with 25 girls and reserved the back room. Kind of hard to find the location since it's tucked away in a dark corner of a commercial building parking lot, but nice when you enter the establishment. Extremely nice and friendly staff who let us sample two beers/ciders before deciding which to get. Small, but great variety and seasonal options as well which is what we ordered and fully enjoyed. Clean establishment, bathrooms and ample free parking! I would stop back in here if I was in the area for sure!“

“Without a doubt the best brewers of sours in the Seattle area. While others like Urban Family make great kettle sours, Dirty Couch makes fantastic sours that are not simply loaded with fruit. This more authentic style may be an acquired taste for some, but they are of the highest quality. Service and knowledge of the beer is absolutely top notch as well. Worth the visit!“

“Great beer and tasty other non-alcoholic items that you can take to go. They're relatively new and are a smaller operation if you'd like to have a change of pace from the packed breweries in the area.100% recommend checking these guys out.“

“Nice location with a good selection of beer ???. There is space in the back stage where you can have a party with music and dancing. Kids are allowed, they don't provide food. The bartender is super nice . We came accidentally because other breweries didn't allow kids and we had a good time. I would definitely come again.“

“A perfect Third Place. Great spot to chill with an interesting beer. It's in a cozy house and is a perfect location to work or hang out. There's plenty of space, including an room upstairs that can be rented out for private parties.Check it out on Sunday evenings, there is a bluegrass jam session around 8 pm most weeks!“

“60YOWM - This brewery has GREAT BEER!! Don't pass it up! It's best in warm weather because you can sit outside, but winter is fun, too. Bring a small blanket. ? Come here! Drink beer! Don't let them fade away!!! I've enjoyed 4 styles of their beer. All have been terrific!!! This brewery is a keeper!!!“

“Gotta leave a review here and call out Sue for taking the time to learn my name and beer tastes and make great recommendations. The hoppy offerings here, both east- and west-coast style, are among the best I’ve had in the area and the taproom is very welcoming to humans and doggos alike. I will admit I didn’t try any of the non-hoppy beers but to those who don’t roll with IPAs they had a good variety which I hope to hit next time I’m in Seattle. Very impressive brewery.“
