Description

Tucked in Ballard, this taproom pours inventive, refreshing beers alongside excellent ciders and an apple wine, offering a welcome alternative to IPA monoculture. A seasonal patio and a cozy, plant-filled interior with vinyl and vintage chairs create a distinct Pacific Northwest vibe. Opinions vary on service and owner demeanor, and menus can be hard to read, but the bold, creative lineup and relaxed atmosphere make it a rewarding stop for adventurous beer and cider lovers.

Piper and Robert are wonderful people and make delicious and unique beer. This is truly a craft brewery that makes something special.

I've enjoyed this beer since before they had a taproom from the farmers' market in Ballard. Sad, after the last two visits in the taproom, I don't think I'm returning. In addition to the general surveillance of their processes, the owners give super pretentious vibes. This is not a beer, and it is not how people act in the beer community. So enjoy the beer, but if you see a beautiful blue bmw in the parking lot, you expect an involuntary treatment.

Not my style of atmosphere but few beers I had were somewhat good. Dogs are outside only inside is limited space.

Great tasting beer, beer menu is hard to read as the handwriting was messy, but beer was yum. Vibes were a little odd. Not super welcoming bartender, first time there and no chit chat or recommendations as I’m trying to decipher the menu.
