Fun warehouse vibes. So many beers on tap. Was bummed they didn't do flights of beer but they let us sample what we wanted. You can bring your own food in too. Fun spot and friendly staff. Oh and dog friendly for well behaved dogs. read more

Matchless Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

We arrived just past noon on a Saturday with my kids to eat and so that I could get a beer. NO FOOD! WTF!? We left and went someplace else.

Great Brewery/ Taproom. They offer many different beers like IPAs, Lagers, Stouts, Pils, Sours and more (on tap and cans to go) that rotate often. The staff is very friendly. The place is dog friendly. Plenty of seating with an outside area for the summer. Great atmosphere all around. They sell snacks, but you're welcome to bring your own food. I wish they offered samples and did growler fills though. read more

Matchless Brewing - a glass of beer on a bar - Breweries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

TLDR: Nice little taphouse in the industrial section of Tumwater. Good beer. I stopped by with my partner while on a road trip. We loved the big garage doors for an open feeling and the outside seating area. And the indoor space is plenty large enough if those need to be closed in winter. My spouse raved about his beer and we loved the friendly guests, both human and canine. Great atmosphere - warm, laid back and welcoming. Like at many taphouses, I wished there were more non-CBD, non-alcoholic beverage options. I'm the DD and many beer halls and taphouses don't have much for me to enjoy. They did have some snacks available for purchase, but no hot food, which is good to know. I think you could probably bring something in or have something delivered though. I would come back again! read more

This is one of my favorite breweries in the Olympia area since they make many quality beers which rotate often. They're located close to I-5, so it makes for a nice little stop when taking road-trips. Their atmosphere is great with a mix of tables and leather couches and a nice patio. As another reviewer mentioned, the lack of any samples prevents a five star review for me. You have to commit to at least an 8 ounce pour which is unfortunate given the lack of any significant description of their beers being just the style. Fortunately, the beertender was very knowledgeable about the beers, but a tiny sample to confirm the description would go a long way. read more

One of my favorite breweries. Cool taproom if you are in Tumwater. Great variety of beers.

I have always loved Matchless beer. Some of the best beer I've had. Their Tumwater warehouse is perfect. Just bite, nothing but some snacks here. The beer is delicious with many choices on tap and you can buy cans to open and drink onsite as well as buy 4 packs to go. Place is very dog friendly and staff is super friendly. read more

Matchless Brewing - Matchless Bar - Vanilla Bean and Cocoa Nibs Barrel Aged - Breweries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Great place. Large open space, comfy chairs and the most important thing, damn good beer. One of my favorites breweries in Washington hands down. The whole line-up is good and the barrel-aged program runs ever close to rivaling Fremonts. It is definetly worth the trip to check them out and relax! read more

Matchless is built in a part of Tumwater near the airport that looks like it should be used for industrial storage, with large RV doors and rectangular, metal buildings to maximize space and reduce maintenance required. These types of areas are ideal for breweries. It is a blank slate for brewers to build on, without the limits of external noise, unseemly shops, or parking. Matchless started with this blank slate and created an airy, hip, welcoming brewery. The large RV doors allow everyone inside to feel as if they are outside in a shaded area. There was a very relaxed atmosphere with everyone enjoying their day. The light beers we had were good quality. read more

Tried several of their beers, did not enjoy a single one, they were either too bitter or too tart. Had they offered tastes I imagine I would have found a beer I enjoy. Nevertheless I won't be back because I don't want to waste any more money. I will not accept that they don't offer good customer service (free tastes) or sell good tasting beer because we are in a pandemic. They aren't following CDC guidance, otherwise fully vaccinated customers would be able to go maskless. They are using the pandemic as an excuse to save a few bucks on not offering free tastes. There are plenty of places that offered free tastes when masks were required by the CDC and now that masks are not required, there are places that don't require masks for fully vaccinated people and also offer free tastes. Here is some great options that have excellent customer service, excellent beer, and offer free tastes: Fish Tale Brewpub - free tastes mask still req. Hops on the Hill - free tastes and no mask Cascadia Grill - free tastes and mask still req. Stack 571 Burger & Whiskey Bar - free tastes and no mask Skep & Skein - free tastes and no mask read more

Great new brewery in the Olympia area. The place is huge and the inside is decorated in a '50s theme. There is also a large bar with cream plenty of counter space. There are lots of tables throughout and it is also family friendly. There were quite a few beers on tap. I had a gold lager. It was a solid beer. I really liked this brewery, I would stop by again sometime. read more

Matchless Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

The beers here are awesome, but what really tips this from a 4 to a 5 is the experience. Love the open layout, quick service, huge amt. of space/seating (both indoor & out), and the bags/board game selection! Very fun hang out spot with great brews. read more

This is going to end up being one of my favorite breweries. I found them by chance really. My local bottle shop had a couple of their beers. First we tried dallah and it is definitely one of my favorite breakfast stouts. Than I had a chance to experience fluff. That was such a fun flavorful IPA. I then checked the back of the can and realized they were in Tumwater. I was shocked to discover this and excited to make a trip. We planned a trip to hang down in Olympia, and truthfully it was an excuse to hang with friends at a new brewery. We had 3 different beers, but honestly dont remember which ones at this point. Each beer was very tasty and I am very glad we visited. The scene great, classic converted warehouse brewery. We will definitely make a trip here again in the future. As a protip: there is another local brewery on the other side of the building, called triceratops. Its definitely worth visiting if you are here. A second protip UBEReats delivers here, use the app and get some Eagans. Oh and third bonus tip: Cell phone reception is the pits and they have wifi just ask for the password. read more

Matchless Brewing - Outdoor seating - Breweries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Ah! Another new brewery in Olympia! When I first moved to Washington state Olympia only had one brewery(this was just several years ago too) but as time has moved on more have popped up in the area. Olympia seems like a great city for breweries and I was surprised that there wasn't more before. I paid a visit here last spring when investigating businesses from the yearly "Best of Olympia" article but as it was they weren't quite open yet. Matchless is in a business park and right around the corner on the other side of the building there is another brewery so you can park your car and enjoy two breweries in one shot! Matchless has a good sized taproom and was spacious. The day I went here was a Saturday and it was busy but despite that there was still plenty of room to sit which was great! At Matchless I got their Mexico Gold Lager. I have been on a real kick with lagers this summer... bonus points if it's a Mexican one. The Mexican lager here was decent... definitely enjoyable but I usually like Mexican lagers more with just a hint of tequila to them which breweries often do by putting beer that is getting brewed in with tequila barrels. Still it was good! Matchless has a big selection of IPA's if you check out their website and I had a sample of one which was very good... I believe it was the Old Pine IPA which I found very enjoyable. Matchless is a good, solid brewery in town. I would indeed come back and would try their other beer selections! read more

Matchless Brewing - Mexican lager at Matchless Brewing. - Breweries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

This is the best brewery in the Olympia area and one of the best breweries in the whole state. The beer is fantastic -- the brewers are particularly skilled with hops, but be sure to explore their other styles, too. Matchless, although not in a great location (you'll have to drive), is an excellent place to hang out. Matchless provides lot of space and has lots of seating, including couches. It has an area to play bag toss and plenty of board games. It is dog friendly. All in all, it's great for a date night or for a night out with a big group. On a side note: I highly recommend the Mexican food truck that often sits outside. read more

Went to Matchless last night to celebrate my birthday with a few friends & found out they're only open until 8pm on Thursday?!!! Geeze, you can't even stay open until at least 9pm? The hours listed on Yelp say open until 9pm, so we were very confused. The place was full of customers, so I don't think there's a lack of business. Also, the bartender acted like she couldn't wait to kick us all out. I'm pretty sure my husband & I saw here get in her car & pull out of the parking lot at the same exact time as us at 8pm. I used to really enjoy this place, but last night was very disappointing. read more

If you love showing up to a brewery and they have 6,000 IPAs like I do, this is a great spot! I buy their beers any time I see them and I have loved visiting the brewery as well. I have never been disappointed with their beers. read more

A good addition to the Olympia area brewery scene. They have a large facility here with one of the more spacious tasting rooms in the area. It's family and dog friendly, and they have huge doors that they can open to let in the fresh air and sunlight. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and there were 50 or more people drinking beer, relaxing, and generally having a good time. That day there was also a food truck outside. There's also a cool retro jukebox. Most importantly though is the beer. I tasted three or four of their beers and found each to be very well done. The pale ale and good hop flavor, was well balanced and refreshing. The French pilsner and Mexican style lager were very good too. Plus they had two different Saisons. At $4.50 a pint for most of their beers, the price was certainly fair! Will be back soon. Oh, when I was there it was credit card only. (no cash) read more

Great beers. Tried the Cracka Fruit and a dark ale unsure of the name. The Cracka Fruit is delish also didn't leave me feeling bloated like a lot of beers. There was a juke box and corn hole to keep you busy. Pretty much had the whole place to ourselves on a Saturday. No food served but a basket of snacks you could purchase. read more

Great beer, friendly people and environment. Dog friendly! Often have a taco truck outside too. Kids allowed and they have games! Beer tenders are amazing! read more

Tried the pop up tonight. Really excited to see if close to hype. Food not ready for close to 1 1/2 hours after announced open. Patties so thin they gave me two. Guys paid for double and they were given three- not equal in rellation to the fact I had two for a single. Not bad tasting when we got but both guys left hungry. read more

Tumwater has been needing a brewery / tasting room and not only do we have one, we have a very good one. We have been in 5 or 6 times now and while some of the beers have remained constant, there has been something new to try on each visit. Matchless really knows their way around an IPA. read more

The only reason this place is not 5 stars is the service. The beer is great, I mean it is very very good beer. The issue is the service. On an average busy night, 1 server was very nice and new and 1 server was the epitome of rude. I do not remember the last time I had someone, if ever this outwardly rude. She was even rude as I complimented the beers. If it had not been for her, I would had doubled my time here, told my friends to meet me here and stayed the night, but she was just that rude that she affected the entire experience even though they had great beer. Crazy because one of my favorite hobbies to to go to new breweries, she alone ruined this one for me. read more

Friendly informative staff and beer that never disappoints. Fresh choices every time and never a bad pour.

Great beer. Great service. Great atmosphere. All is wasted on the allowance of kids running around. We pay for a babysitter for an adult night out at a bar only to have kids run by and knock into your beer. Policy is posted that says no kids after 7pm, but it is not enforced. We have been here a few times late into the evening and kids and dogs are always around. There are dog parks and Boom Shaka for a reason. If you want a date night out do not come here. You will feel like you are drinking in a daycare at a dog park. I am so bummed because it is a great tap room that will leave a bad taste in your mouth and it is not because of the beer. read more

Friendly, not interactive. I like a lot of their beers, but nothing spectacular about fresh on tap there. All had a similar taste profile. Apparently their limited and one-off releases break the mold but their standards and kind of stick una rut. Again, not bad, just not special. Taco truck served up some nice food outside but SLOOOOOW. Not counting the taco truck in my rating, just saying don't come hungry. Decent place to top if you're in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip. read more

Great Place, Beers always changing. Great place to hangout with friends and play Corn Hole. Dog friendly and you can bring your own food and drink. They only take Credit cards. no cash. read more

I finally was able to try this place out after been dying to try it after multiple rave reviews by friends. We came here on a Saturday late afternoon and the place was moderate busy with lots of kids and adults playing cornhole and hanging out talking. There is ample seating with a nice variety of seating from a couch to bar stools to tables which was nice because we had out 10 month old in tow. They don't serve food, BUT the taco truck outside is great plus they allow outside food which is a huge plus. They're also dog and child friendly, which is awesome for most people. If you don't like kids, there's outside seating, but the kids weren't super loud or annoying and if you sit at the bar, you wouldn't even know they were there. They have a decent tap selection, which rotates frequently. It was IPA heavy, which is great for 75% of the population, but I'm not a fan, so I had a limited selection to choose from. Overall their beers were pretty good, but nothing extraordinary (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). They also have live music on the weekends, which adds to the great atmosphere here. Overall this is a great family and dog friendly place with a chill atmosphere and decent beer. It's a perfect place to hang out with friends and family and we will definitely be back. Plus parking is easy and there's a cider tasting place and another brewery within the same complex, so there are options, just come check this place out first! read more

We had my bf's 40th b day party here! I had contacted the brewery weeks before and let them know the details as to what I wanted to do. Courtney got back to me ASAP and worked with all my needs! It was on a Wednesday night and they don't do reservations (totally ok) but it wasn't a really busy night so it worked perfect. She was also able to get the taco truck (which was super yummy!) there that night. I loved everything about this place for a get together! Thank you! read more

Great brewery with tasty beer. My husband likes IPAs and I like dark beers. We can always both find something we love. The bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. One if our favorite places to go. read more

I have to admit I was very impressed with this place. The beer was great and the vibe was excellent. It is dog friendly, has couches, board games, and corn hole. I had a wonderful time and will be back again shortly. I honestly can't wait to go back to this place. read more

I'm not a beer fan but matchless is great. I normally get the cider they have on tap, which is nothing special. The reason I love this place to much is the fact that they are kid friendly and have activities for kids from 18 months to 10+. Our son enjoys coming here to play with the train set while dad & I enjoy a cider/beer. Every weekend they have a taco truck out front too, so you can make a lunch/dinner of it. They have live music some nights as well, although we haven't been there for that. read more

Update. That evening was a total fluke. So glad I gave them another chance. They were awesome. Will definitely become a regular here

stopped in for a quick ipa - it was delicious! Space was clean, good music was playing, and staff was friendly.

All the girls are always so nice and they give awesome service one of my favorite place to go for a beer

Evidently at Matchless it is cool to bring your dogs and small children to a taproom/brewery on Saturday nights. Disappointing that the posted 7pm curfew for kids in the brewery isn't followed at all. Maybe I'm in the minority thinking a drinking establishment should be reserved for adults. Dodging crayons is not my idea of a good time. Many of the patrons were standing with their pints while the kids took over 2 couches and one family had an art table going on. If this is fine with you, I will give them credit for having a good selection of tasty beers. read more

We enjoyed our first visit here yesterday. Great beer, live music, taco truck outside and great atmosphere. We will be back!
