10 Best Breweries in Kirkland

"One of Seattle's best rooftop bars, RB features 10 taps pouring a rotating selection seriously good brews, including five IPAs, a creamsicle pale ale, and an impressive variety of other styles, all of which taste just a little better each time you catch a glimpse of Salmon Bay and the Fremont Cut between the buildings across the way.How to order: A limited number of cans and bottles are available via curbside pickup or local delivery."

"Nothing beats sipping on some brews outside in the summertime. And in Seattle, there’s no better place to do it than Rooftop. Now that this company has recently moved locations, they have a nice, big patio for lots of beer lovers to come, drink and soak up the sunshine."

"Located in a garage that backs up to a railbed, this pristinely white/comfortably modern brewery & 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 they're ready, so you’ll just have to show up and take what you can get. Happily, of course.How to order: The taproom is temporarily closed, but you can order online for drive-thru pick-up."

"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."

"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."

"Founded in 2009, this well-loved brewery is famous for its artisanal, barrel aged, small-batch beers. The company is dedicated to sustainability, using local and organic (when available) ingredients for its beers, and this dedication has certainly paid off. It won Best Brewery in the 2018 Seattle Refined So Northwest Awards, as well as the 2018 Best Local Brewery/Tasting Room and Best of Barrel Aged Beer from Seattle Magazine."

"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."

"Head out to Fremont Brewing’s Urban Beer Garden for some tasty brewskies. The tasting room is open every day from 12 to 9 pm and features lovely benches underneath tents. Location: 1050 N 34th Street, SeattlePhone: 206-420-2407Instagram"

"Comfortable, large and relaxing pub that serves fantastic beer, cider, and meal. Most of their menu items are filled with the typical American diet of cheese, ranch, meat, and bacon. Several enjoyable beers, all aspects of the beer spectrum."

"This location is great for game days, business lunches and everyday specialty dining and provides space for meetings, private parties and large events. Elysian Fields usually pours 18 different house-brewed styles and a small selection of guest beers."

"When all of the dart throws and button-mashing at other bars have given you carpal tunnel, come to Peddler Brewing Company. During the summer they do a weekly movie night, and year-round they have trivia, science presentations, and an improv word game contest called “Pundamonium.” Don’t miss the tangerine Hefeweizen or the vegan hot dog that actually tastes good (from the Cycle Dogs food truck). Two Beers Brewing Co."

"Peddler Brewing Company is a great place for the whole family, and dogs. At Peddler, there’s always 12 beers are on tap with guest cider, fizzy water, and kombucha on rotation. Beside enjoying a good cold one, there is always something going on, from movie nights to pun slams and fundraisers, there’s always fun waiting to be had at Peddlers."

"As you might expect for a bicycle brewery, most patrons are donning their finest athleisure ware. People routinely stop here for a beer pitstop on a weekend ride. Bicycle races are usually playing on a TV in the beer garden."

"After several delays, this long-awaited brewery opened its stunning, vaguely (and appropriately) farmhouse-inspired taproom earlier this year to much acclaim thanks to their funky Farmhouse-style and wild beers, mostly saisons and sours that are made almost exclusively with Northwest ingredients, many of which have actually been foraged by the brewers. Highlights include the oak-aged Elenor ale fermented on blue elderberries, and IPA-ish Bobbi made with three kinds of hops and barley/malt from the Skagit Valley. How to order: In their taproom/beer garden"

"This rustic urban brewpub is famous for its farmhouse ales and an outdoor heated patio. Their small batch beer specials include Heinrich, Tove, Rankin and Bobbi. They use locally sourced hops from the Yakima Valley and peaches from the Cascade mountains to make their beers, Wines and Ciders."

"An old school brewery turning out one of Seattle's most popular beers What would we do without our beloved Manny’s?. This incredibly popular pale made for "normal people", and all Georgetown's other beers, are crafted in an industrial 'hood south of town, where they haven't opened a brewpub quite yet (or maybe ever?), but where you can drop by the brewery six afternoon's a week for all the samples you need to decide which one you’d like to take home in a growler. Now listen here, this is a pretty good move since you won’t find bottles/cans of this stuff anywhere."

"This microbrewery ferments some of Seattle’s smoothest craft suds out of an industrial space with exposed rafters and piping. While Georgetown doesn’t serve beer by the pint, they do offer free tastings with the purchase of a $5 glass, and specialize in growlers. Manny’s pale ale is the champion brew—a complex premium barley beer with hints of citrus."

"South (between South Sixth Avenue and Dawson Street), the brewery is the highest-rated brewery in Seattle, boasting 4.5 stars out of 239 reviews on Yelp."

"Like true Italians, those at Seattle’s Café Torino take their coffee seriously. First, they use only Lavazza beans and make them into any version of coffee drink you can think of: cappuccinos, macchiato with cocoa called Torinese, Becerin with chocolate, coffee, and cream, and of course a standard drip coffee, light or dark roast. This modern, sleek cafe also serves Portland Steve Smith Tea for those who are not java addicts."

"Though Seattle hasn’t always been known for its bagel scene, Pinehurst’s Jewish deli and bakery represents a strong part of the renaissance. It has a weekly bagel club, which includes the option to add pantry items, a delightful chopped liver, and smoked meats galore. Zylberschtein’s also occasionally does full meal pop-ups, and its pints of matzoh ball soup are wonderful."
