Follow Up. Ive been going to this Brewery for around 5-6 years now. I am still going. I cannot say enough about the quality of their beer, lots of good German style Lagers, Pilsners, Schwartz, Alt, Stouts, Ciders by Schilling, a Medal winning IPA here & there, with a most exceptional Kolsch (limited). Dog Friendly, bring your own food or have it delivered, board games, open gate for outside seating in warmer climate, Mike, Mary, Ross, Matt & Forest have all done a great job bringing such a chill place together 4 an excellent totally Renton experience. So if u find yourself for some reason wandering around downtown Renton one day, stop by their place & say Hi. The future looks bright for them... read more

Stopped by last night and had great time. Emily was awesome and shared a lot of knowledge about beer. Wonderful conversations were had with people all around the brewery. Get yourself down here...you will not be disappointed read more

Came across Four Generals while looking for parking in downtown Renton. So glad we stopped here (again, and again, and again)! At first glance we weren't sure how a brewery could have so many types of beers on tap and still be good, but wow! There's something for every one here. Tip of the hat to the pineapple passion cider, mmm! Swing by, have a pint, play a boardgame or order some food. read more

Used to be good, but last time I went, the service was so bad I left without getting anything. Mary, I'm very disappointed and I won't be going back. read more

Great beer. Great vibe. Amazing staff! Matt is super helpful, this is our new watering hole.

Staff was friendly, they have cool swag at decent prices. Overall, a casual and fun place to have a few beers with friends.

Very cool spot in downtown Renton. My wife and I decided to stop in for a few beers and ended up ordering a couple of flights. The staff was very friendly and the beer was cold. They did a beautiful job with the inside of the brewery and also very cool to see it all being brewed in the back. A unique spot for Renton and hope that they continue to do well. read more

The best brews in town. Historic location. Family owned. Friendly service.

I've been waiting a little while for Four Generals Brewing to open up and was excited to see when they did! Sometimes when you wait around for breweries to open it seems like it is forever while your attention is elsewhere and focused on one town other breweries spring up that you didn't know about. A watched pot never boils I guess. Steven and I last weekend hit some new breweries as well as revisit some old favorites last weekend. At Four Generals I got the English Bitter which I thought was quite good! Steven got a Hefeweizen but thought that the banana flavor was too strong and didn't care for it too much. The taproom is set up quite nice and there is outside seating as well. The staff is very friendly too! read more

Nice new brewery in Renton. The taproom inside is really nice with lots of wood tables and bar tops. There is plenty of seating as well as an outdoor area. The tables are made from huge tree trunks which is a really cool addition. I came here at the end of their opening weekend so they were out of a lot of beers, can't fault them there. The beer I did try was really good. I had the CDA. It was good, kind of hoppy but not overly so. I will definitely be bank when they have more of their beers on tap. Overall, it was a good stop in Renton and a great addition to the area. Definitely worth a stop by! read more

Friendly staff in a beautiful new space in Downtown Renton. I had a sampler so got to try 4 different beers/ciders at once. Sun was out so patio door was open to sidewalk. Bar and counter tops show amazing attention to detail. Will be back! read more

Four Generals Brewing - Sitting at the new patio bar! - Breweries Near Me - Renton, Washington

Being a first timer in Seattle I Needed a local beer to sample. Found this place and had 2 flights, everyone I tried was very good. The ciders are sweet and light and the hazey river and doppelbach (may not be spelled right) both are very good. Went back again for a pint of each last night and will be back tonight to get some growlers to share back home. I'd like to try another place but I got lucky here and don't want to risk being disappointed elsewhere. read more

Cool spot in downtown Renton. I recently found out about Boon Boona coffee and read they they teamed up on a Schwarzbier. If you like dark beers, definitely give this a try. Can definitely taste the coffee flavor. Filled up a growler and it didn't last long. read more

Four Generals, located right across the street from my favorite coffee shop. (Common ground) Now I'll be tempted to grab a brew after a long day of studying. Walked in and was still deciding which beer I should get. I assume the owner, saw my confused look and offered if I would like to try some beer samples. I decided on the West Coast IPA. It's small but just enough space with a few tables scattered around. Loved the unique tables that's were made of tree trunks! I overestimated my tolerance for alcohol and couldn't finish my 7.4% beer. I didn't really care for the taste. What sets four generals apart from others - board games to play with friends - original jail cell (located by the bathrooms) - friendly staff Although I didn't like my beer, I'll come back and try the cider! read more

Great Renton Spot! Very Lager heavy in selection, but they add a plethora of flavor in those simple Lagers! Busy on a Wednesday night! Keep being awesome! read more

Great vibe, they have a very nice selection of brews and all of them are amazing! Very good and pleasant service, decent prices and nice taproom. I really liked the west coast IPA and the Pilsner. It's a great place to come in a group, I'll definitely come back again..and again :) read more

We came here before our dinner at the Melrose grill. Just a short walk away. This place is great, service is awesome. One of the better brewery/tap rooms I've been in. In a hole in was location but is absolutely clean and comfortable. The beer is good, had both IPA and both were great, wife had the guest cider on tap. Games, little snacks available. Dog friendly which is cool, will definitely be back. read more

I love this place! The staff is friendly and they get to know your drink preferences real quick! I love the outdoor seating as well, we like to come here and enjoy their English bitter. They have a very nice selection of Schilling ciders as well. Cool place. A favorite in downtown Renton! read more

Four Generals Brewing - Blackberry Pear Cider and an English Bitter. - Breweries Near Me - Renton, Washington

Downtown Renton has a lot of hidden gems out in the open and Four Generals is one of them. I went off the recommendation of the guys who work at the GHY (Go Huck Yourself) Bike Shop in Renton This place is excellent for just the Cheers style solo drinker or a group of friends looking to get their board game or Rubix cube on (they have board games for your entertainment). The place is clean and when you walk in it's warm and welcoming. I went when the brewer was bartending and really good guy to talk to, knows his regulars as well as his craft. I tried these two beers listed below: West Coast IPA Pale Ale I'd rate these beers on a local scale as an easy competitor to Georgetown's stuff, easy top three in my opinion beating out Iron Horse's Dark Horse and other varieties. Sort of wish biking events would have this guy's stuff at the events instead. There is no food offered except a nice constant of free pretzels and a binder with a map and a collection of all sorts of local menus from businesses within a three or four block radius. Overall, patronizing this place supports local in the city, in the state (hops) and local within the PNW (yeast). Hell, the brewer talked cleaning schedule with me in a detailed yet totally cavalier about it. Low prices, great social atmosphere, clean bathroom and sip worthy beer? Wow, something fantastic does exist! read more

A Fantastic brewery located in downtown Renton. Yes. Downtown Renton. Great tasting beer, brewed on location. In small batches. Friendly staff on hand to answer all your beer needs. Their English bitter is the answer to your thirst quenching needs( in my opinion). So freakin' good. No food is served but you have plenty of options to choose from, from around the area. Yes, and you can bring them in. Glad this place is here. Great job guys. Cheers! read more

Finally popped into this joint. Great establishment and friendly service, a perfectly cozy escape in downtown Renton. Had a darker red beer that was great, buddy had the same and agreed. They brew their on beer, obviously. I will adhere to the commands of any of the four generals. Will have to try the small outdoor section come Springtime. read more

I always make a point while traveling to drink local beer and this was a great spot for many reasons. 1. Its small venue 2. they serve you free pretzels 3. downtown Renton is a great spot to be with locals and not tourists 4. friendly staff 5. oh and did I mention they have good beer? read more

Four Generals Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Renton, Washington

This brewery is SUCH a gem in downtown Renton! The beers are festive and fluctuate with the season and demand, also they provide three Schilling options for the cider crowd. Sours are being introduced very soon, I was told by one of the brewers, and currently they have east coast IPA, west coast IPA, hef, etc. They have casks along the wall and the walk to the bathroom shows their entire brewing set up. SO COOL. The bathroom is unisex and is right by the old Renton city hall female holding cell. The atmosphere is industrial and rustic. Living wood bar top and tables made from tree slices helps add to the PNW rustic look. There are board games on a shelf near the bar and there is limited outdoor seating. I love this place, the location, and the fact that kids are allowed! Prices are pretty consistent with other craft brewers $5-7 pint. I definitely think this brewery helps put downtown Renton on the map and is a location to check out! read more

Stopped in after a hike at Rattlesnake Ledge, and enjoyed a refreshing flight. I remember the ginger cider and the coffee infused beer the most. The girl working was very nice, the bathroom was clean, and it seemed like many locals liked to come here to wind down, knit, play board games, or just catch up with each other. read more

This is exactly what Renton needed. Friendly staff and wonderful beer makes this a nice stop in downtown Renton. It may not be the biggest place but there is plenty of seating inside, spots outside and they always have beer ready to go. read more

Great interior, tasty IPA, and delicious ciders! You can bring in your own food (which keeps me from giving 5 stars). The place is clean with beautiful tables and air conditioning. Definitely stop in and enjoy a pint (or two). read more

Open outdoor space. I love sitting on the stool looking out the street. You can bring your own food and just order the beer from them.

Awesome location to spend a Sunday afternoon with a couple of hoppy ones. Great selection of beers and a bunch of food establishments around where you can grab a bite to eat and take it in. read more

Best brewery in Renton and one of my favorite overall. It's small and kinda tucked away but no hassle parking and the staff/ owners make great beer. They are dog friendly and people friendly as well and the clientele are always cool. They don't do food so bring your own. It's worth going out of your way to try it and bring a few growlers you'll want to take some home. read more

We just had the best experience and incredible brews. A must go to. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and as already mentioned, incredible beer. Don't miss out, this place is fantastic. read more

Such a cute local brewery with great beers! Bartenders are friendly, they have board games, and the wall opens up to the outside when it's nice out. You can't go wrong with the Renton River Haze. I also really like their Gose. read more

Nice little local spot here in downtown Renton. Growing up here nearly all my life, it's nice to finally see something outside of an antique store downtown. The best thing about this place is they allow you to bring Foods in, minors are allowed in the bar area, and you could bring your pets as well. It's just a real laid-back family-owned-and-operated atmosphere where a couple of friends could get together and drink some fresh brewed beer, play a couple games and enjoy each other's company. I'm not the biggest Beer Drinker per se, but I haven't had anything there that I didn't like so far. I'm a bigger fan of light beers and Hefeweizen and they definitely have that to quench my thirst. The owners are super nice and are always willing just to chit chat with you if you set up at the bar, or you could grab some outdoor seating and do some people watching whichever you prefer, it's a great spot to hang out without having to travel far if you live downtown. read more

I'm impressed with the beer and Matt is the best server ever! The Scottish Red is my suggestion, very smooth. read more

My boyfriend and I came here last night after recently moving to Renton. We were pleasantly surprised by the amazing service, delicious beer, and welcoming atmosphere. Matthew was our server and he made us feel so welcome, especially after telling him that we are new to the area. We will definitely be coming here again! read more

Love this place! They normally have 3-5 ciders and that is what I am after ;) my favorite thing here is pineapple cider mixed with London dry which comes out..you guessed it right.. half dry half sweet. It is $12 for a growler if you have one or you can purchase it there. The reason they have 4 stars and not 5 is that sometimes it smells at the entrance and once my growler exploded when I got home. It was one of those hot days in Seattle. read more

So, I had a Flight with the I.P.A, CDA and the Amber also had the Stout but the Stout was not there's so not going to judge them on that really even thou it was a good Stout. So, as far their beers i really liked them all and for being only open for 4 weeks they are doing great most breweries when they first start they had a poor first batch. Liked the fact that they were kid friendly. read more

Beertender was very attentive and on top of things for a very busy Friday night! He overheard our conversation about what to get and greeted us with samples those samples! Overall a very great experience. read more

Beer is great, my favorite thing about living in the Northwest is the high concentration of craft breweries, and Four Generals did not let me down. Great beer, great atmosphere, and best of all, great people. What do you call a cool Guy pouring great beer? I called him Matt the other night. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the beers. The only criticism I have is that I live too far from renton, and I don't know how frequently I can make it back. read more
