Brewed by us, field-tested by us, enjoyed everywhere 🏔️🌊🍺

When our team hits the trails or heads to the river, they don’t leave the beer behind. These shots were captured by our own crew out “quality testing” Crikey IPA and Hazealicious Hazy IPA in their natural PNW habitat!

Notice something new on that Hazealicious can? 👀 That’s a fresh outfit! We’re rolling out updated artwork across our core lineup so your pack looks extra sleek on your next adventure.

Same legendary, award-winning recipes inside, just a brand-new suit on the outside.

Proven in the brewhouse, approved in the wild. Grab a 6-pack and run your own quality check this weekend! 🙌

Crikey! You’ve GOT to try this 🧀🍺

From now through October, we’re teaming up with our friends at Beecher's Handmade Cheese to serve an exclusive 3-part pairing flight at both our Ballard + Downtown Seattle taprooms.

We’ve selected three distinct IPAs to highlight exactly how our hops & Beecher’s artisan cheeses bring out the best in each other:

😋 Brighten Up IPA × Beecher’s Garlic Noir
😋 Hazealicious Hazy IPA × Beecher’s Marco Polo
😋 Crikey IPA × Beecher’s Flagship Cheddar

Two Seattle originals create a match made in hop-and-cheese heaven. You’ve GOT to try it! 🧀🍺

Brand-new fresh hop brews landed on tap today. Get ‘em while you can!

🌳 Fresh Hop Crikey! IPA 6% ABV
Fresh Simcoe hops give Washington’s most awarded IPA a seasonal twist, bursting with mango, peach, mixed berries, ripe orange, and pine over a clean, balanced malt backbone.

🌿 Fresh Hop Double Crush Hazy DIPA 8% ABV
Freshly picked Simcoe brings grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot, and berry in addition to its signature woodsy, pine, and resinous dank character to an already citrusy and tropical hazy double IPA that is dripping ripe orange, peach and coconut.

Music at the Ballard Taproom by by Vince Bigos (5:30–7:30 PM)

The fresh hop takeover doesn’t stop at the tap handles. We’ve infused our new Fresh Hop Chili with wet-hopped flavor 😋

🍟 Fresh Hop Chili Cheese Fries: Crispy fries smothered in fresh hop chili and melted Beecher’s Cheese

🌭 Fresh Hop Chili Wagyu Beef Dog: A juicy Wagyu dog loaded with fresh hop chili and diced onions, served with fries

🥣 Fresh Hop Chili Bowl or Cup: Warm, rich, and packed with deep harvest flavor

Stop by, say “hi!” to your hop-obsessed neighbors, and taste what harvest season is all about!

The secret is officially OUT of the taproom! 🍻🥭🍍

For months, you’ve been loving Party On: NA Hazy IPA as a taproom exclusive at our Ballard and Downtown locations. The response was so massive that we knew we couldn’t keep it tucked away in Seattle any longer...

Party On: NA Hazy IPA is officially hitting distribution across the ENTIRE Pacific Northwest!

Brewed in the PNW for the PNW, this non-alcoholic brew packs zero compromise. It’s bursting with bright notes of juicy mango and ripe pineapple, delivering a smooth, silky mouthfeel and a crisp, refreshing finish.

Now you can grab a 6-pack for the trails, the boat, the backyard, or your weeknight fridge staple.

Look for Party On landing in frosty coolers at your favorite PNW grocery stores, bottle shops, and beer aisles starting THIS WEEK!

Big juicy hop character & zero alcohol: PARTY ON 🍻

Taking a quick breather to celebrate the team behind the beer 🍻

Our brewhouse and hospitality crew work tirelessly to keep the cold beer flowing and the taprooms welcoming, and today we’re taking some well-deserved time to raise a glass with each other!

To celebrate all of our hard work, incredible community support, and an unforgettable summer season—including an absolute blast of a World Cup run—both of our taprooms will be CLOSED today, Tuesday, September 8th for our annual team celebration.

SCHEDULE UPDATE:
❌ Tuesday, Sept 8th: CLOSED (Team Day!)
✅ Wednesday, Sept 9th: OPEN normal hours at both Ballard & Downtown Seattle taprooms!

Thank you all for an unbelievable summer, Seattle. We’ll be fully refreshed and ready to serve you your favorite pours tomorrow.

We’re spending the long weekend doing what we do best: bringing people together over fresh beer & tasty food!

Sours for the fruit lovers. Lagers for the purists. Beer Cheese Fries for literally EVERYONE 🍟🍺

Both taprooms are open standard hours Saturday, Sunday, and Monday:

📍 Ballard Taproom: Full patio, complete food menu, and kid/dog-friendly space!
📍 Downtown Seattle: Fresh pours, pub fare, and perfect city-center vibes!

Whether you’re staying for a round or stocking up on to-go cans for your Monday barbecue, we’ve got you covered 🍻

Happy official first Fresh Friday! 🍻

The moment we’ve been waiting for all year is finally here. Come get your very first taste of the 2026 harvest season!

We just tapped our first two small-batch fresh hop kegs at both our Ballard & Downtown Seattle taprooms:

🍺 Fresh Hop Simcoe BEEr
✨ Fresh Hop Simcoe Hop Fizz

What makes these so special? We added wet, freshly harvested Simcoe hops straight to these kegs as a cold-conditioned addition for 24 hours before transferring them directly to our taprooms. They are packed with ultra-fresh, bright, resinous aromatics you can only get right now!

(Note: Today, Sept 4th, is a single draft draft keg of each at each location only—no live music or cans today, but live tunes kick off next week!)

These limited harvest batches go FAST, so don’t wait. Stop by the taproom today, grab a pint, and raise a glass to the start of fresh hop season!
