    My to go Cider!
    Sarah S.

    I was passing by and wanted to get some beer or cider to go. They not only have everything available to go (if they have it on tap of course), but they can put it in a can to go for you! I had to dash today but I can't wait to come back and enjoy a brew and some food. I got a pint size can of the Habanero Lime Cider to go! They poured it into and sealed the can right in front of me. How cool is that?

    That's the motto!

    If there's one thing that Seattle has a good amount of, it's breweries. And for that, I am THANKFUL. Not all breweries are created equally, though, and Burke-Gilman definitely is a force to be reckoned with in the beer scene. Admittedly, I stopped by because I happened to be working with them on a Diaper Drive in benefit of Step by Step based out of Puyallup, but I stopped by one day.... And then I stopped by the next day, too. Whoops. They are small on the inside, but they have outdoor seating with several tables. They have heaters, but I wouldn't say that put off a great amount of warmth, so wear layers if you get cold easily. The beers are SUPER tasty. I love that they did an International Women's Day Brew during March - I forget the name but I know the word "sisters" was in it. Loved it so much! Had a few of those both days I went. I also love their Hypothesis IPA - lots of flavor in that one. Another really cool thing that I spotted that they do is "Buy A Beer For a Seattle Children's parent," which is pretty self-explanatory. You can beer-it-forward and purchase for a parent going to/from Seattle Children's. I think that's a really awesome thing to do and commend them for giving the community the opportunity to support parents, even if it just means with a tasty beer. You'll also find some really great "I Don't Drink Beer With Racists" stickers here, which I promptly purchased and slapped on my laptop. #realtalk Love beer? Go here. Thank me later.

    Quite a cool little spot just a few blocks from Seattle Children's Hospital. We dropped in while one of our little dudes was at an appointment and discovered some delicious IPAs with hops from where we hail from! The hopsplainer and hopothesis were both gold medal winners in the 2020 hazy IPA category and were lovely! They are definitely an IPA heavy spot, but do you have a number of a good number of Belgians that are available and, per the report, some upcoming barrel aged stuff. They had seven or eight different options in the cooler as well as some juice boxes for the young lads. When the world opens up again, this will be a super cool spot to check out and actually sit down to have a beer at. Easy to get in and out, especially if the parking spots are open!

    I got the habanero lime cider and it was delicious! The spice in it is the perfect level where you can absolutely sip on it and taste ALL of the flavors not just the spice. The lime taste went great with the cider taste. I would've never expected to love this combination of flavors. Definitely going to come back again just for this super unique cider! The ambience of the outdoor seating is quite calm. The heaters are the best and the owner is super sweet. Only thing missing was some house music. Overall, loved the entire experience along with the drinks!

    As I'm writing this review, I'm enjoying one of their beers, I got, to go, a tasty hazy that goes by the name 'Dry Spell', the saying on the can reads ' it's winter, we don't have to worry about a dry spell for awhile' , truth spoken there about the PNW! Enjoying the rain and all the flavorful beers here. So many great breweries, I can get FOMO just thinking about it! Lol Between the beers tried at the brewery and home from Burke-Gillman, they do a great job of brewing a well diverse palate of brews, at the moment, they have some great WC and hazy, low ABV brews, full of flavor, not over hopped, go down way too smoothly. Also yummy sours and seisons. A beer or cider or wine for anyone. If you ride in on a bike on Sunday, you get a discount, and no! If you hike in ya don't! Trust me, I tried. Lol and yet I can still say the service was friendly and knowledgeable, great conversation about hops used, going to use, and ones to be spoken of no more. Great location, close to U of W, so I didn't dare wear my Cal hat. However, their beers, especially the hazy and sour reminded me of one of my favorite breweries in Berkeley... I'll let you try the brews and guess which one I'm talking about. Looking forward to return visits. Lots of food choice's near by, that you're welcome to bring in. Outside seating as well, on those dry spells. Happy Yelping, God bless and cheers!

    We loved our trip to Burke-Gilman Brewing. We had tried some of their stouts and barley wine at a Winterfest event and were excited to visit their brick and mortar location. The long and short of it: excellent beer, great atmosphere, fantastic staff, and trivia night was a hoot even though our team (Griffey Gang) came almost in last. Beware it does get quite busy on Wednesday nights!

    What a great brewery! We came for a philanthropic event, Diapers and Brews, in which we bring a package of diapers to donate to low income pregnant/nursing mothers, and Burke-Gilman brewing pours us a free beer! What an amazing cause! They have a good selection of beers, and ciders, and while I'm not usually a cider-girl, theirs were exceptional - not too sweet, with the perfect amount of flavor. I tried the Habanero Lime Cider with the intention of ordering a different beer/cider the second time, but it was so delicious, I couldn't resist ordering a second glass of the same. That being said, my fiancé ordered the Cashmere Cider, which is not to be missed. There is a parking lot next to the building with plenty of spots, a definite plus in Seattle.

    Beer was fine, but didn't ring up any of the advertised deals. Really should be reported to the BBB for false advertising

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

    I've reviewed a lot of breweries, and Fremont Brewing did not disappoint!…read more This cool spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A truly legit outdoor space! They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious. I love that this place is NA-friendly. They offer some light snacks and free pretzels, which is awesome for a brewery without a kitchen. There is a food truck on site, but it was closed when we visited. No worries, though, you can bring outside food, which is perfect since there are plenty of great restaurants in the area. I asked the bartender if they brew at this location, and he said they've moved all brewing to a different location in Seattle, but it's still super fresh and tasty beer all around. This is a spot worth visiting in Seattle or getting together with a large group for a few drinks. Plenty of choices for everyone!

Smattering variety of beer (1-2 offerings per "kind" of beer, non-alc included), so I'd say this place is more for vibes and location, rather beer-focused. That being said, the vibes were good! Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.
