There are several tap rooms and brewery locations in Renton. But one in particular holds the…read morehearts and imagination of Renton's local brew scene - that's the Four Generals. Located on Wells Avenue in the block of Renton that once housed Renton City Hall over 100 years ago, the founders of Four Generals have made this small place their own with their own creationss (try their seasonal Oktoberfest) as well as some guest brews such as Schilling Hard Ciders. Be advised, there's no food here (except for a pretzel or choice of Frito Lays products), but food can be brought in from one of the many Downtown Renton restaurant locations. Also, they close at 10:00pm so plan accordingly. With that, come in down, enjoy a beer selection, and take in good old-fashioned community vibes! #fourgeneralsbrewing

**Lumber House Brewery: A Masterpiece of Craft Brewing--But Let's Talk About the Concrete Elephant…read morein the Room** Lumber House Brewery is not just **good**--it is a **revelation**, a divine temple of hops and barley, a sanctuary where beer enthusiasts gather to worship at the altar of pure, liquid perfection. The brews here? **Impeccable.** The balance of flavors, the craftsmanship, the sheer dedication poured into every pint--this is the kind of beer that **rewires your brain chemistry**, rendering all lesser beverages obsolete. The food? **Legendary.** A burger so impossibly juicy it deserves its own Netflix documentary. Fries that crunch with a level of precision that suggests **some sort of alchemical wizardry is at play**. Each dish is not just **prepared**--it is **engineered**, designed for maximum indulgence and unrestrained joy. The staff? **Incredible.** Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their craft. Every conversation with them feels like a TED Talk on the art of brewing, and yet **somehow more engaging**. And yet--**AND YET**--let us address the single most inexplicable contradiction in human history: **LUMBER HOUSE BREWERY IS LOCATED IN A CONCRETE TILT-UP BUILDING.** Read that again. Slowly. Let it sink in. Lumber House Brewery--the very name **evokes images of rustic timber lodges**, cozy wood-paneled beer halls, the scent of sawdust mingling with the comforting aroma of freshly poured stouts. You hear "Lumber House," and you **expect** beams, planks, a structure that whispers of heritage, craftsmanship, and the sturdy embrace of dimensional lumber. But no. **Concrete.** Gray, impersonal, **unapologetically industrial concrete**. Tilted up like some sort of affront to the very concept of its name. It is an irony so stark, so **mercilessly hilarious**, that one cannot help but admire the sheer audacity of it. This is not just **a choice**--this is a **statement**, a deliberate defiance of expectations, an architectural plot twist so profound it rivals the greatest mysteries of our time. Could they have constructed a grand wooden brewery, rich in timber and nostalgic warmth? Absolutely. But instead, they **rebelled**. They chose strength over sentiment, functionality over theme, and in doing so, they **cemented--literally and figuratively--their place in history**. And somehow? **It works.** So go. Step into Lumber House Brewery's **glorious contradiction**, revel in the fact that **despite its lack of lumber**, it delivers one of the **most unforgettable** brewery experiences imaginable. Five stars. And a **moment of stunned silence for the irony**.

Second time here and both times it's been after a hike. They are located in the back of a…read morerelatively unassuming business center with plenty of parking. It's not a huge place but they have plenty of seating and comfortable brewery ambiance. Food and beer is ordered at the bar and they bring the food to wherever you're sitting. We were on a bit of time crunch and just grabbed seats at the bar. Since it was an in between meal period, they weren't super busy which was perfect. We both ordered the burger special which was a bacon bleu burger which comes with waffle fries. The waffles fries are fantastic, and an underrated fry choice, IMO. They were hot and crispy. Burgers were loaded but the knock on them was that they were over cooked for both my wife and I, while also being small compared to the bun. Overall, the flavor was still good and along with good beers (we got the Kolsch & Pale Ale) it was a 4 star experience. When we were getting ready to leave, a guy at the end of the bar received his pretzel order and it looked delicious. Will definitely come back and try that next time!

I've enjoyed Logan many times over the years and I'm happy that they've moved closer to my neck of…read morethe woods! This location is a large, open space where you can easily see how the magic happens. Employees are all friendly and really make for a great environment. They don't have a kitchen, but you're allowed to bring food in and there are a handful of places near by for takeout. There are a bunch of taps available with rotating products depending on the season. If you like craft beer, they are worth stopping by!

It's cool to see Logan Brewing opening up a taproom up in Kent. This is where Airways used to have…read moretheir taproom before they went out of business. So it's nice to see that the space is getting used again. On our latest visit to Logan Brewing we tried out quite a few different beers over the course of time from sit down taproom tastings and with what we took home for later drinking. I think Logan Brewing has improved their beer quality compared to when they first opened which is good to see. Some of the beers we had were creative and fun and that is what Steve and I are always out on the look for. Beers that are atypical and fun to drink. The first one I will start on is the beer called Man with the Golden Gourd which I believe is referencing from a James Bond film with their own spin on the beer type. This is Golden Stout which is a kind of stout you don't see very often and so whenever I come across one I try to never pass it up. Flavor highlights with this beer are pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon. The beer is sweet and has a dry finish. But it's all very well rounded and makes it nice and drinkable. But it is a stout still so it's a sipping kind of beer. Another beer we got was the Now You're Thinking With Porters. This was an English Porter that had a roasty, malty and smoked flavors. It was a nice kind of beer to have in the colder months. The beer is soft and smooth and makes a pleasant mouthfeel. Moving on to another kind of beer we got a fruit beer called Cactus Juice. This was a fun, light bodied beer that had flavor highlights of guava, fruity, watermelon and a light "candy" sort of flavor. Some fruit beers are heavily sweet but this was well balanced as many of Logan's beers are. I love lagers and Helles lagers is one of my favorite lager types. So this was the first beer I jumped into here at the taproom. The name of this beer was the Portal to Helles. This is a nice, light bodied beer which I strive to get more and more as time marches on. Flavor highlights with this beer are smoky, crisp and clean in flavor. Again, nicely subtle and none of it being heavy handed in flavor. Some other beers that we liked and enjoyed at home was the Slammu Pilsner and the Thyra Sterling which also was a lager... just a different type than the Helles. Once again a very solid beer experience and a very solid first visit to the Kent location of Logan Brewing Company!

We sat inside but it was an open door garage door setting so we could see the outside folks just fine. They have events there and can't wait to check it out. It was also nice to fill up my growler. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back!

Their website was easy to navigate to find out which food truck would be there and when. We ordered our food first then handed inside to warm up before picking up our order. The space was really spacious and nice. The vibes were warm and cozy with a large TV projector screen playing sports, good music and all types of seating and tables. They have a dog water bowl near the front where you can also get water with clean cups nearby too! You can also tell it is a beloved location as it was getting quite busy and there were children, dogs, and adults enjoying the space and time with one another. We got two 10oz Diamond Knot root beers which was divine! I recently started drinking root beer from breweries and I am a huge fan, as I think brand named root beer is gross. The drink paired really well with our soul food order. The bartender was really polite and seemed to be good friends with his regulars which is a good sign. I asked him where we should put the drinks and he politely let me know to the side of where he served me would be great and there is a sign to put empty glasses as well. We will look forward to visiting when we can as we are all the way from Tacoma but it is definitely worth coming back to!

I tried to go to Manfish Brewing in hopes of finding a tasting room with the address provided on…read moreYelp. However Manfish Brewing does not have their own tasting room and you need to go to their website and select on " Find Manfish" in order to find their beer. There they have several locations in Seattle, Renton and Kent where you can get different selections of their beer. I went to The Brewmaster's Taproom in Renton and got the Pudge The Curmudeon IPA which was very good. I wanted to try some of their other beers in the area that other locations would have that were stated on their website. Unfortunately I didn't get any further in trying their other beers because The Hop Garden which was listed as tapping soon for another IPA did not have it in stock yet. The same also went for The Brick Pub & Grill in Renton which is slated to have yet another different IPA than the one I had and what The Hop Garden was going to get. Same for the North Bend Bar & Grill which is slated for.... you guessed it right... another IPA. The AC Tavern had yet another IPA that was different than the one at Brewmaster's Taproom but alas when I called to confirm that they had this IPA I discovered that the AC Tavern is now permanently closed. That just left a place in Seattle in the Greenwood neighborhood that may potentially carry Manfish Beer but I had no intention of heading to Seattle that day. So I just got the one Manfish Beer from The Brrewmaster's Tavern. Normally I post a picture of the craft beer I'm drinking to new places I'm reviewing but since I thought I was going to be getting more Manfish Beer that day that didn't happen. So it is what it is. I liked the Pudge The Curmudeon fairly well and hope that in the future Manfish gets their own tasting room where all the beer they make can be accessed in a single location. * Additional note* After finishing this review I saw that maybe in order to get a better idea where Manfish Beer is on tap is to check their Facebook page.

They offer a wide variety of beers - Pale Ales, Pilsners, Red Ales. My personal favorite? Black Jack Moran. It's 9.5% and unlike most dark beers, it's not bitter.
