    Finally was able to check this place out! It has been on my list to visit because not only are they minority owned, but they made this Buko Pandan beer years ago that it became one of my favorites. It has been a favorite dessert of mine as a kid and for them to make it into a beer, got me interested. With me buying their beers in stores, I had to check the place out myself. Sadly they ran out of a Pumpkin Stout that I have been dying to try out, but loved their Lychee Sour Ale and Peanut Butter Stout. Both tasted flavorful and just as the description states. One of my best friends isnt much of a beer drinker, but found delight in the Lychee Sour Ale. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying them out!

    I believe that Lucky Envelope is my favorite brewery in the Seattle area. The brewery is well laid out, the people are always super great, and they make all sorts of really interesting beers. I frequent this place when new beers are released and always bring friends with me. They make the only IPA I like, which is the Eniac. I don't tend to like bettering hops, but aromatics are fine by me. My most recent visit I had the Honey Cinnamon Cream Stout and the Blackberry Peach Sour. They were both great! The peanut butter Stout and the gingerbread stout are both favorites. What I want most out of beer is flavor and variety, and they always deliver on both.

    We were on a brewery tour with Cycle Saloon and this was the second stop. Love the red zodiac animals painted on the outside of the building! Our Chinese family members recognized them right away. We really enjoyed the tea infused beers at this brewery. It's a unique concept and the beers were tasty too. We sat inside because it was a bit chilly on the front outdoor patio area with no heaters.

    Awesome, chill brewery with a great selection of sours and interesting flavor combos! I really liked the Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade Sour and my friends enjoyed their IPAs. Plenty of seating both indoors and out, as well as the usual brewery amusements like board games and merch for sale.

    Love the concept of some of their Asian beers and glad this was one of the first breweries I tried in Seattle. Beers so popular that they frequently run out of the good ones. When they host events it can be packed and hard to navigate, but overall they have good vibes inside and outside.

    A wonderful brewery near lots of other taprooms and breweries and has a lot of delicious beers. I had one of their sours, which was great. Lucky envelope has indoor and a lot of outdoor seating. Friendly service too!

    It's flight time - 1, 3, 6 and 10

    Lucky Envelope - "Culturally inspired beer" is their tag line along with using modern and historic brewing techniques. I won't claim to know a lot about brewing, but I do like drinking it and most of the beers I've had here delivered. Some of my favorites have been the "Pumpkin emoji", ENIAC Mosai IPA, Lucky Lager and the Raspberry Sour ale to name a few. all different, but all really good. Most recently as of writing this, the Count Chocula Cream Stout is very good too. So hopefully this will become a seasonal visitor to the Luck Envelope line up. The beer options aren't huge, but the ones on tap are varied and many of them I enjoy. I really like the brew chart so when you get a flight, you can easily keep track of what you're drinking as well having the descriptor or brewer comments on the beer. Like a lot of the breweries in the area, there is a food truck that takes up residence right next to it and there is plenty of seating both indoor and out. Lastly the staff are pretty cool here and you may even get to chat with the owner if he's in. One of the best Breweries of the bunch in Ballard.

    Service has significantly improved. The guy that hasn't been very nice has been so much nicer. Not sure what happened for the differences, but things have gotten so much better. Attentive and nice! Beer is always good!

    Lucky Envelope was such a treat! We went during their Lunar New Year event. They were very busy with lots of kids and dogs in attendance. It was so lovely to see people of all ages welcomed into this space. Despite being so busy, the beer tenders were able to work through the line quickly and offered thoughtful recommendations for anyone who asked. I ended up getting a tasting flight with their helles, yuzu Pilsner, white rabbit stout and Sea-Kobe 65th anniversary juicy IPA. Every beer was unique and tasty. Really clean flavors! You can tell they know what they're doing. Can't wait to visit again and try some more! Cheers!

    POG Sour 5oz taste

    Came here with some friends this past Saturday to specifically taste the POG Sour. With so many companies beers and ciders that promise a certain taste of tropical fruit you're disappointed. Not with this one. it was very passionfruit forward which we loved. I was at a pop up at Fast Penny and had a cocktail there so Just had a 5 ounce taste. I do like that you can get that size. My friends ordered a couple of flights. They both really liked the Strawberry Kiwi Ale Juice Sour and Mosaic Hazy IPA as well. I didn't have a taste of the Strawberry Kiwi but I did smell it it was like the scent of fresh strawberries. One of our friends ordered a pint of the the Peanut Butter Cream Stout. This one I did try, I don't usually drink stouts but I would definitely order that. Planning to come back and get a four pack of that one for a friend. The space has a bunch of indoor tables some regular tables and some bar level with stools. The main doo opens wife for great ventilation on the 80 degree weather day we were there is also lots of exterior covered seating. The day we were there a taco truck was outside selling food. I like the grab and go fridge it's easy to pick what you want and pay. I bought a four pack each of the POG and the Strawberry Kiwi they put it in a reusable bag. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Loved the mural of the Chinese zodiac signs on the exterior. it's nice to have an Asian owned brewery amongst all the breweries in the neighborhood.

    Yay, finally got the chance to try Lucky Envelope! They've been on my list for some time now, as I don't know of many (if any) other Asian-Owned breweries in the area. This tasting room is a little on the smaller side, but still plenty of seating for guests. The only other people in here when I was here for a coworking session was a table full of moms with their babies - yay for family-friendly spots! The beertender that was working was really sweet and they were nice and clean, and following Covid regulations. I tried two beers - the Buddha's Hand Citron IPA and the ENIAC Mosaic IPA. The Buddha's Hand was really citrusy and refreshing. Loved it. Would be really great on a summer day! The ENIAC was also really good, probably my favorite between the two. There are a few other breweries within walking distance, so if you're nearby or making a beer crawl, be sure to include Lucky Envelope. Definitely worth the try and can't wait to return.

    Asian-Owned brewery!!!! So cute both inside and out. They have these beautiful painted walls outside representative of Chinese culture. They brew unique, Asian flavors of beer. We tried the lucky envelope lager, Buddha citron IPA, and tangerine milkshake sour. All 3 were yummy! You can even buy some in cans to take home. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. They even have some games, coloring pages, and more for kids. It is also dog friendly!! There is only street parking available but since it is located in a relatively residential area, it was pretty easy to find parking.

    6th and final stop on our "pub crawl". We all were looking forward to this stop because they were the only place that had a pumpkin beer on tap. Unfortunately this was the only beer that we tried, because most of the other offerings were IPAs, sours, or just too hoppy for us. The style of this pumpkin beer (cream stout) is one we haven't seen too often. Two of us thought the beer had good flavor and picked up subtle spice characteristics, but I just couldn't get any of it no matter how hard I tried. We took home a four pack to enter in our annual pumpkin beer tasting party, so time will tell how it ranks. Our 6 stop pub crawl adventure was a great way to spend our last day in Seattle. Now we're heading to hopefully enjoy a nice dinner before our flight back to Central California tomorrow morning.

    Do you provide your beers in sealed cans? I'm in Redmond where is far

    Hello. We offer 4-packs (16oz cans) & single cans of our beers for sale at our Tasting Room here in Ballard.

    Is there public wifi? I'd like to study here.

    Hi Wes. We do have public wifi in our tasting room.

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!

A little too buttery though. The venue was large and delivered the view of the lake on a platter (but that is Seattle). The vibe was lively -- loud blasting music and a ton of people. But...not worth the excessive 45 minute wait after being in line for 15 min. We ordered right after our friends and while I sampled 2 tastes of beer, that took all of 2 min Our almost identical order to theirs came out 20-30 min after theirs. We went up 3 times to check where it was, because the first time (at least 20 min after our friends got their order) the guy told us it was 2 tickets away. More like 20 tickets since we watched order after order being delivered elsewhere... not ours. My husband went up for the second time and never got an answer. And so I went up a third time and was livid as another half dozen+++ orders went by. The frustrating thing is we paid up front and left a 20% tip on the worst food service ever. We have learned our lesson and won't do that again. Recognize it's not just the server it's the entire service...from what happened to our ticket, our food prep and delivery to our table? I doubt I'll make the effort to go back. Because I can pay the same $59 (2 single patty burgers, 2 beers, 1 fries, 1 onion rings) for similar or better food, fantastic views with much better service. Also, they knew but did nothing to make our experience better.
