    A very dog friendly place where the dogs run around unleashed. Both indoors and outdoors. So if you are scared of dogs, please stay away. But all the ones which I saw during my time there were well mannered and didnt bother other customers. We were two of us - i tried the Hefe and my friend had the cider but felt it was too sweet for him, even though he liked it, didnt go for a repeat. My 2nd was the Fast fashion Pigeon Hole (Czech amber lager) and it was good too. A nice place, good ambience, and definitely worth a visit. Loved the posters in the restroom.

    Went here for the first time yesterday. Our timing was probably a little off as it happened to be the day of the month that they hosted the monthly silent book reading club. Though it was eerily quiet, the host invited us to still have a beer which we did. He was very nice and we saw they had a very interesting collection of custom foods and merch. We'll definitely visit again when things are a little less quiet

    Cool Hops Lamp!

    We came to the Brewmaster's Taproom on Saturday as a party of 2 at 5:00 on Saturday. It was lively but not too busy-we were able to find seating quickly. They do not serve food here, but I appreciate that they encourage you to bring your own. We saw a lot of people with pizza and to go boxes. The bartender was kind enough to let me try a few beers before I settled on my two. I loved their selection-they really had something on tap for every type of beer lover. Multiple IPAs, Pilsners, Stouts, Goses...etc. They sell some beers to go as well as some locally made goods. I would love to come back!

    Cool vibe.

    Wow, once again Yelp to the rescue! I was in Bellevue and had a couple of hours to kill before picking up a friend at Seatac. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to find a new brewery or beer spot. So I searched in Renton and up popped The Brewmaster's Taproom. Located in a semi out-of-the-way strip mall off of 405 I can easily say I would never have known it was there if not for Yelp! I arrived about 5pm on a Friday - always a dangerous traffic time to be heading south through the S-curves, but it wasn't too bad and soon I was in a socially distant line to order my beer. The selection was great - especially if you're an IPA lover, as there were several beers in that category. Being more of a malty fan, the selections were fewer but still good. I settled on a Pelican Cream Ale and went to sit outside on their cozy, covered, warm outdoor patio. Everyone sat far apart at their own socially distant tables, and masks were required when not at your table. It felt very safe (and the heater right next to my table made it one of the better outdoor beer experiences I've had lately). Inside, in addition to the bar where you order your favorite pint, they also have cans/bottles to go, and a great selection of handmade masks and other crafts if you want to do a little shopping. I really loved this place and can't wait to go back when I have more time to enjoy some of their other beer selections!

    Even dogs get served at the bar

    Still a family favorite for us! My husband will take my daughter and meet with friends and their kids on a weekend afternoon. Our daughter loves the dogs. My husband enjoys getting a beer or two and then stocking up on some to take home. When it's warm we love to sit outside! Brewmaster's has the best, kindest people who are a part of their team.

    Juice box (berry cider) and rice krispy treat

    This place is basically like daycare for grownups. Except you can bring your dog and kid along if you want. And order food delivery from wherever, or just sit there eating cookies and scones (from their affiliated small bakery) like any well-adjusted adult. Behold, my juice box (Tieton mixed-berry cider) and confetti explosion of a rice krispy treat (laced with fruity pebbles). Some weeknights are trivia. Some Saturdays are storytime (for actual kids, but they don't discriminate) followed by free-play bingo, both led by the drag queen hostess with the mostest, Sylvia O'Stayformore. But all the other times, it's a gathering spot for beer lovers, tended by people who know their stuff, with coolers full of short-run brews you've never imagined. And the centerpiece, a lineup of 25 taps, of which 1 will be root beer, 3 or 4 will be ciders and sometimes a sour, and the rest will be a whole gamut of beer. (There's always a huge range of styles, from wit to darks, but hazy IPA fans will be especially happy.) Nearly all are WA-made or other local (PNW) brews. And yes, you can try some sips before you settle on something. The lineup is ever-rotating, but you can always scope out the list ahead of time here: https://fbpage.digitalpour.com/?companyID=5759b9c15e002c14504938da&locationID=1 Pay careful attention to the hours -- the close early on Monday, Tuesday, and especially Sunday.

    Doggo!

    We enjoyed another night of Bingo! We love this place so much, also it's kid and dog friendly! My 11 year old loves this place too!

    The Brewmaster's Taproom is a great Beer Bar located in Renton. This taproom is one of the few locations in the area that carry Manfish Brewing's beer. Manfish doesn't have their own tasting room but by checking out the brewery's website I learned that they distribute their beer to several locations in the Seattle, Renton and Kent areas. The Manfish Beer I got was Pudge The Curmudeon which was an IPA style beer. I also got a beer by Modern Times Brewing and really enjoyed that beer as well. The staff was very friendly and I would definitely like making a trip back to get the Manfish beer again for starters.

    When I first got here, I walked up to the bar to order but there was no one available. I stood for a few minutes and then finally someone came from the back room and took my order. I was a little confused why there would only be one person working the bar (or not, as it were) considering the amount of customers there were, but maybe they were having a staffing issue. There's a good selection of beers available here that are really reasonably priced, but I couldn't stand the table set up. Each table has a seat that swivels out, which can make it hard for conversation. Also the tables are really wide, so if you have a group of more than two, it can feel kind of awkward. One thing that this place has going for it is that it was a very inclusive space. Babies and dogs both were present in the time I was there and if memory serves correctly, the bathroom door is labeled "whatever". I really wanted to like this place and it seemed to have a good vibe, but until the table and chair situation has changed, I probably won't be returning.

    Brew for pups!

    The service was so great and knowledgeable about the beer menu and choices. Extremely dog friendly. Will become my wife's and I favorite brewery. The ambiance is a chill, safe space for all to go and have a great beer.

    Lots of things to purchase in the shop too!

    Love this place!!! Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some amazing local beers (plus some tasty root beer for the non-alcoholic peeps in our group). Super chill vibe. The person at the bar made some great suggestions, let us try a few flavors, and was just super fantastic. I loved everything I drank -- a nice hazy pale ale and then this delicious fruity beverage??? Plenty of nice places to sit (inside and out). Will definitely be back!

    We went here after we started to foster puppies. Another foster mom showed us and we love it. The staff are super friendly, amazing selection of all types of beers and ciders. Dog treat they make, dog beer and rootbeer on tap. My family only goes here we don't even go to normal bars anymore. I can't recommend this place enough. You can grab pizza or bring food in to which is nice.

    Fun little spot in Renton. We went for a paint night but it looked like they had fun theme nights benefiting schools and animal rescues often. The Amber (#16) and the Postdog Donirua (#9) were worth coming back for. Great staff and a fun, low key vibe. Very dog friendly!

    Special night every other Thursday -- one less pour but a chance to win gear. Plus you can bring in your own food. Weird and fun!

    Are you currently serving food like sandwiches?

    Hi! Right now we have more snack type foods to keep everyone as safe as possible. But we have a pizza and teriyaki place in our complex and outside food is always welcomed.

    Do you do a happy hour?

    We have a kind of happy hour on Sundays where we have dollar off select pints. We keep our pricing $1-$2 below what others charge so it’s pretty much always happy hour!

    Hoooolllld up. Their beer is great. No lie. I've been here…read moremultiple times. So this is return-worthy. But their hotdog.... Omg. I promise you that this isn't the beer talking. (Although it would be well within itself to take over and extol the virtues of Dubtown processed meat tubes.) Their dogs are hot dog deliciousness. And even moreso with their curry ketchup. Omg.... Ohh myyy GOD DAMMIT DOUGHNUT, that's an amazing condiment. For lack of fried onions, Sriracha, jalapeños... (Seattle dog FTW) I went with cream cheese and curry ketchup. Not the same, I know.... But DAMN. If that wasn't well worth it. Oh and the beer! The beer is good! And the staff is friendly. Social, and professional. Whether they're busy or if it's slow. I recommend their Liquid Sunshine (it's a beer... not ALL beers... but I hear you). Also... Their P.F.U.D.O.R. Hibiscus IPA? Yeus please. It's different, and different is alway good. Stare at it. Don't let it intimidate you. It's different, but if you eyeball it it will submit.

    We went today right when they opened and the bartender was so kind and patient. He put on the…read morefootball game for us and then we tried a few samples before we made our drink choice. I got the blackberry sage cider and it was delicious! I'm not much of a drinker and this was light and refreshing. My husband ordered the cold IPA and he also enjoyed it. The environment looks really chill. I would like to stop by later in the day and check it out during the evening. I'm sure it gets crowded. Def will come back next time we are in Renton.
