Over by the bar it's a little bit tight to be able to order if there are multiple people inside there. I did enjoy having to be able to sit down and kinda relax while having a beer. I ordered their off Center healthwise in with her raspberry kind of thing. It was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order that again. The parking is in front of someone's house which felt a little unusual. It was raining and there was quite a lot of big puddles to navigate to get to the garage door. I gave it four stars because I think there is some places to improve. The tables that you sat at feel little sticky, even after they were cleaned. Maybe a better way to advertise their merchandise. It was over in the corner. I only order one beer in that beer is killer so I think their beer is on point for the one I ordered.

Discovered this place when going to the Radnor's burger food truck parked outside. This is a…read moreperfect set-up for the two businesses because Firemind provides a comfortable and family-friendly sit-down environment to eat at, which Radnor's lacks; and Radnor's provides the good food that Firemind does not make themselves. We were lucky enough to come when a FIFA game was on. There was plenty of seating on a Monday night and we got a great view of the game on the tv. There were a few groups sitting in the back and in the backyard patio. The back area offers various beer-brewing books and board games for your entertainment. They offer their own in-house brewed beers and seltzers. I usually drink seltzers to be "healthier" but usually don't like how tart or bubbly most places make them. I tried a special walnut seltzer here that was just a one-off experiment the brewer made. It was AMAZING. I went back for seconds and would love to take a growler home. I think my husband enjoyed his beers too, but he drinks IPAs and that's not my jam. The two guys working that day were very friendly. One of them was the brewer (head brewer?) and we learned a lot about the place's history and what they do. This brewery has been here for years and I didn't know. I thought they were newly opened, similar to Radnor's next door, but they actually rebranded last year or so, so it made it seem like they were a new business. The guys explained that they used to be called something else that made people think they were a place to buy beer brewing equipment and classes rather than a place to drink beer, so they changed their name and it really helped bring more people in. They still offer brewing classes at a great price. It sounds like such a cool experience for the solo beer enthusiast or for a team building event. They also host open mic nights and other community events. I had such a good time here that I would love to come back and continue to try out more of their beers, learn about the beer brewing process, and take in the fun and casual environment.

Firemind Brewing is what used to be the Station U-Brew. At least it's in the same space which I…read morebelieve the new name is due to new owners taking over. Everything seems about the same ( the beertender I recall seeing before when the predecessor was still around...I think) as far as set up goes. Definitely some new signage going on which is to be expected. Firemind and it's predecessor I think remain my favorite brewery in Puyallup. My first visit under the Firemind name I got two of the beers on tap which I liked quite a bit. The first one was Brain Drain which was quite good. It is an English Bitter and lived up to that name quite nicely. It had maltiness going on which I do love with this particular kind of beer. Mind Goblin was the next beer. This was a good one too as it also had maltiness, nuttiness and toffee at play in the the flavor profile. Great first stop...just as enjoyable and the predecessor brewery and I'd love to come back to partake more of their beers !

It's a nice bar with a very comfortable lounge and there's also some outdoor seating with a nice.m view of the water and the park next where I had just enjoyed the concert.

The beers on offer vary from clean and crisp pilsners and Kölsch to deep and flavorful stouts and IPAs. My favorite things are that they are dog friendly, let you bring in you own food, and have really good tasting beer blends that add extra flavor and options. They also serve beer, have three TVs that are playing the most popular games, and often partner with the community to host events like book club meetups, paint notes, fundraisers, and parties. For those not beer inclined, they have 2-3 wines, local ciders, and house-made seltzers. They are kid friendly too and have various board games to play to keep entertained. Really they have everything to make you feel right at home.

This brewery is over by Lake Tapps but even though you can't get a view of the lake from where the tasting room is it's still a lot of fun. We went and ordered in a modular structure and then enjoyed our beer outside but with lots and sturdy canopies in case it rained. I had two beers here. One was the Thrasher IPA which had a nice bite to it but nothing too "off the chain". Dark Days was the other beer I had which was a fine brown ale that I ordered which proved to be enjoyable. This brewery is a little way out of Bonney Lake but the outing is worth it!

This is the "good 'ol boys" brewery in town…read more And I say that with 100% positivity. You'll feel like you're at a big rowdy backyard cookout (don't you DARE call it a BBQ unless yer smokin' meats) that you just stumbled into. The man running the taps, who I can only assume is the owner, is boisterous, friendly, and ON TOP OF THINGS. He'll ask you what you normally drink, give you some samples, and hook you up with the right beer. I tried to give him a card and he just said "just let me know how many you've had before you leave, I trust you!". You really feel like you're at some sort of family get together. Oh, and the views of Rainier from the patio are stellar! Unlike almost all other breweries in the PacNW, this one is not stocked chock full of insufferable, apathetic, hipster and post-hipster types. The crowd here is largely blue collar: truckers and farmers, Carhart and coveralls, construction workers and men-at-work signs. Which, again, is refreshing for a brewery. Beer is for everyone, not just beardos at coffeeshops with macbook pros that "work in tech". My only qualm is that I feel like the beer is just OK. It wasn't bad or anything, but it also didn't blow me away. Most of the beers were a little too much on the sweet and malty side (even the IPA) for what I usually like to drink. (which is stuff that is really pale, dry, and bright) The irony of my sounding like one of those disaffected beer bro stereotypes I just criticized earlier in the review is not lost on me though so...take what I say with a grain of malted grain.

I don't know if it's there all the time, but when I stopped in, there's a Mexican food truck in the front parking lot. Once you've seen it it not hard to miss, as it's the only shop with all the doors wide open and a good sized covered patio area. Walking through the entrance, the decor stands out right away, growler jugs, hanging from the ceiling from breweries from all over the country, along with a lot of cool animal wood sculptures and memorabilia for honoring Veterans and history. I believe the bar tender was also the owner or one of them? Very friendly and helpful with the selections. Taking time to answer questions, even on a surprisingly busy Thursday afternoon. Lots of seating throughout the inside and on the patio area. They specialize in unfiltered brews, which I like, as it gives a full flavor to most beers you may not get, if they're over filtered, another one of those balancing acts that those workers of brewing magic deal with. I started off with a Amber lager, full tasting with the crispness of a lager, a flavorful change from the usual amber ales. The place had a cool old dudes vibes due to all the memorabilia and the old van in the shop, but definitely wasn't just an old dudes place, as a few of the younger crowd was enjoying a brew while working remote. Plan on a return trip on a weekend to check out the weekend vibe, try the food truck, and more of their tasty unfiltered beers. I also tried their Red Ale, which was also robustly flavored and went down smoothly. Gotta love those reds! A fun stop while passing through or coming back from some of the beautiful hikes in the area. Definitely have their own style and niche well done. Happy Yelping and Cheers!
