10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Renton

"As the name would suggest, this Queen Anne brewery’s space is made for outdoor imbibing. The rooftop patio is outfitted with picnic tables, ideal for a few rounds with friends over board games (dogs and kids are allowed, too). There’s usually a food truck in the parking lot, and heaters and a basket of heavy blankets if the evening turns brisk (online takeout options can be found here)."

"Here’s another choice where you need to get the right location to experience the rooftop enjoyment. Stuck in the wonderful Queen Anne segment of the city, the view is the Fremont Cut and Salmon Bay, while the drinks are loads of wonderful IPA’s, porters, and some alternative pales that beer snobs require."

"If you’re looking for a chill place to day drink, you’re in good hands at Rooftop Brewing. Which if you didn’t read the context clues is a brewery located on a roof. Take in the view of the Queen Anne warehouse-looking buildings and the tiny sliver of Lake Union."

"Cult favorite with a constantly changing selection of craft beers Located in a garage that backs up to a railbed, this pristinely white/comfortably modern brewery and taproom is one of the city’s most beloved brewers, despite doing things a bit differently than most of their Northwest counterparts. They have a special focus on yeast-driven beers including saisons and farmhouse ales, and most of their brews undergo secondary fermentation, which means they’re aged until the brewers think their ready, so you’ll just have to show up and take what you can get."

"Holy Mountain Brewing Company is known for its vibrant craft beer scene in Seattle. Opened in 2014, it focuses on the barrel aging program, mixed fermentation and classic Belgian beers, hoppy pale ales and Stouts. Their beers are old across taprooms in the city, available in six packs and twelve packs in department stores or can be enjoyed on site at the pub on Elliott Ave"

"When two longtime friends opened Holy Mountain in Seattle’s Interbay Neighborhood in 2015, beer geeks immediately took notice. Its discreet location near the train tracks is simply a front. Some of the best beers being brewed in Seattle—foudre-aged saisons, bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts—lay within the sleek, dark warehouse."

"Reuben’s Brews is a family-owned craft brewery in Seattle and is the most decorated brewery with over 200 medals for their beers!. Try their Crikey IPA, Mind the Gap IPA, Robust Porter, Gose, Wolfsburg Helles and Gobsmacked IPA. Check out their taproom for weekly tasting tours and Brewtap to enjoy food with your beer. Food trucks such as QT Tacos, Burger Planet, Friday Tamale Lunch, and Frelard Tamales frequent the brewery."

"Rueben’s Brews is outfitted with 25 taps and walls draped with awards. The welcoming Ballard taproom offers an outdoor patio for enjoying weekend food trucks, as well as root beer, ginger beer, juice, and sparkling water for children, expecting mothers, and those that just want to take it easy.

"Over in Ballard, check out Reuben's Brews, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 164 reviews on Yelp. You can find the brewery at 5010 14th Ave."

"One of the largest producers of craft beers and barrel aged beers in Seattle, Fremont Brewing is a popular brewery that brews small-batch artisan beers. All of their ingredients are sourced locally- hops from the Yakima Valley, water form the Cedar River in the Cascade Mountains. Their focus on sustainability and buying organic and local is what sets them apart."

"Fremont Brewing Company is easily findable, thanks to the crowded bike racks and sprawling beer garden filled with picnic tables and plants. Grab a table near the entrance and you’ll likely have waterfront views, or venture into the industrial interior where a fireplace and communal tables make it easy to make new friends."

"Possibly the Northwest's most popular brewery Ahhhhh, Fremont. Center of the universe. And arguably the center of Seattle's brewing universe, thanks to its series of small-batch artisan beers made with local ingredients by a long-time environmentalist/community organizer in a very sustainable way."

"You can probably assume what type of beer Cloudburst specializes in based on their name. Started by an experimental brewmaker from another Seattle company, Cloudburst is all about brightness and brews with a little extra “oomph.” You’ll certainly find IPA’s here, but they’re not exactly the traditional ones you’d find on any old tap. Their oatmeal brown ale is tinged with a toasted coconut, their nitro milk stout is cured for extra flavor, and all their brews have interesting names for you to explore."

"The charm of this tiny windowless space, tucked in an old brick building a few blocks north of Pike Place Market, is the pioneering craft beer and the characters who cheers with it. Just try the Market Fresh 14, made with hibiscus and passionfruit, or The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders, a nitro double chocolate stout, and you’ll see why."

"Offbeat beers from an off-the-beaten path brewery I swear this relatively unheralded brewery didn’t make this list because it's like, a half-mile from my house. It made it 'cause they're serving interesting, often distinctly European-style beers with Northwest ingredients -- try The Lady, a juicy and floral sour, or if you're feeling really bold, the 11% abv Time Crises, a triple with notes of papaya and lemon -- all from a utilitarian taproom in an industrial park just South of the Ballard Locks."

"This family-run brewery in Magnolia has stealthily crept under the radar for several years. Now it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves with its approachable atmosphere (think board games and old school video games), food trucks that circle through, and—namely—by brewing some of the best sour beers in Seattle. Courtesy Reuben's Brews"

"Sure, this company makes other brews too, but if your jam is in sour beer, you can’t do better than Urban Family. Combining fruits like raspberry, mango, passionfruit, blueberry, boysenberry, lemon and even some other puckering flavors like strawberry lemonade, this is the quintessential summer beer establishment."

"A neighborhood gem, Seven Coffee Roasters Market & Cafe is one part coffee shop, one part Hawaiian grocery store in Ravenna. The owner is a Hawaiian native and head roaster for Seven Coffee Roasters and Keala's Hawaiian Coffee. Get your Kona coffee fix here!"

"Redhook is "proud to hang his hat at a state of the art brewery located in the heart of scenic Woodinville, WA." Completed in 1994, the impressive venue takes inspiration from the brewhouses of Bavaria, Germany. The popular spot features grounds on which many events take place the warmer months (like an alfresco movie series). Overlooking the brew tanks, visitors find the Weatherman's Room and Tour Gallery (which can be rented for private parties)."

"American , Bar Food ,  Pizza"

"Hilliard's opened its doors in October of 2011 with a focus on beer in cans and an industrial-chic ambience that draws beer drinkers from near and far. Thanks to its location in the Ballard beer bubble, visitors can stop in here before or after checking out other neighborhood drinking holes. Founded by Ryan Hilliard and Adam Merkl, the staff has gradually expanded, as has the beer list."

"Tucked away in Ballard this location is a great space for groups of all sizes, taking advantage of this taproom being converted from an old car service garage. They have various beers on tap along with their canned beer selection available for tasting. I enjoyed their Boombox IPA in their glasses that look like a beer can without the top."

"This radical pizza place has locations in Portland and Eugene, Oregon, as well as in Seattle!. With a whole case stacked high with pies, you can grab a slice of one of the vegan pies of the day or order a fresh whole pie to share (or eat entirely by yourself—no shame). Our vegan Broc You Like A Hurricane special: Follow Your Heart vegan cheese, Spinach, Buffalo Jackfruit and Green Onions."

"Boasting a tiny back garden and a glass-enclosed atrium, Seattle's most famous meat-free restaurant serves everything from dinner (corn tortillas filled with cheesy mashed potatoes, a Portobello Wellington with madeira wine sauce, plus a selection of pizzas, sandwiches & salads) to brunch, where you can down buttermilk banana pancakes, biscuits & gravy, and the one thing that's infinitely better without meat… cocktails."

"website | directions | neighborhood: Madison Valley | best for: brunch. My sister used to be a pescetarian, so we’d go to Cafe Flora for brunch on the regular back when I first moved to Seattle 10 years ago. I’ve actually never been there for dinner, but brunch…oh brunch."

"Located at 4th Street and Pike, the Yard House taproom features more than just booze. Fill up on vegan-friendly bar bites like chilled edamame, hummus with kalamata olives, or cris..."

"People in the Pacific Northwest are serious about their beer. If you're one of them, one of the best places to eat in Seattle is the Yard House. This sports bar and restaurant is a..."

"A Japanese sushi spot with Latin influence, their sushi rolls feature unique twists on the classics with the addition of flavors such as mango and cilantro. The combination of Japanese and Latin influence leads to some of the most delicious sushi combinations available in the Seattle area. We recommend you try the Salmon Sampler, which features King and Sockeye Salmon."
