    YaYa is another brewery I came over here to visit. The beer was awesome. The atmosphere was good, but a little loud for my liking. I still had a ton of fun. The building is huge and I love industrial area breweries. They usually have a cool unique space. I would say its worth the stop for sure.

    Still one of our favorite breweries in all of Spokane. During our most recent visit I tried the Trickonometry, a collaboration between YaYa, Hat Trick, and Genus. It was delicious!

    YaYa is brewery visit #255 for me. Yes, 255 breweries. Only 52746 to go... Spohemian Czech Pilsner was, well, a Czech Pilsner. It was true to style, tasty, etc but maybe I'm getting jaded and having a harder time picking out nuances considering all the over the top flavors in beers these days. Nothing wrong with this one at all though. Down the Hatch is a blonde ale with hatch peppers. This had a lot of the aroma and flavor from the hatch peppers but very little heat to it. Really just a little spice to it. I don't usually like pepper beers but this was good. Zest Coast west coast pale ale is an easy drinking pale ale. A bit of hops of course but nicely balanced. The Frugal Man is a NEIPA with grapefruit and blueberry. I definitely got grapefruit on the nose, and both on the tongue. The combination just didn't work for me though. Half Sack nut brown ale was quite good. Nicely malty with caramel flavors. This is what SWPFTD went with since they didn't have a red on tap. Last for me was By & By, a milk stout. This has definite flavors of chocolate and cinnamon. I liked this one but surprisingly SWPFTD didn't particularly. I really thought she would considering her love of chocolate. YaYa is a cool place. We will certainly stop back in at some point. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!

    Legit. Get the New Zealand IPA. Juicy and delicious. The stout is good and the pizza next door is finger licking good!!!

    Dishman Hills Pils, a great pilsner!

    Another fun stop on a "shopping spree" of the Spokane area in which Steve and I bought bottles, cans, had some tasters and a pint or two along the way. It definitely was a power trip. Meaning budgeting the most of your time with going to as many breweries as possible. A fun challenge but not anything I want to do again any time soon! From YaYa we had two of their beers. Both were very good! The Dishman Hills Pils is a great pilsner with it's crisp, clean floral flavor this one is great as a summer beer but is perfectly suitable any time of the year too! By and By was probably my favorite. An amazing milk stout involving cinnamon along with coffee and chocolate notes. This beer between the two definitely won me over in a big way! Staff and the patrons are very friendly! Even though we weren't here long some of the customers struck up a conversation with me about the brewery shirt I was wearing which I always like. Representing previous breweries is a lot of fun and people become aware of a brewery they may not have known about and want to try. The roles have been reversed in the past and I like that too! As I said the staff were very friendly and were top notch in their work too as we were on our way to the next place in a short amount of time!

    Great place to have a beer and work on my masters. Always a good time in here to meet new people and have conversations. This place is always welcoming and inviting.

    Nice backstory, average beers. Their kolsch tastes nothing like the style, but their saison is solid. PIlsner is OK, but has some diacetyl. Nut brown is a throwaway. Don't get any Nelson from the From Spokane with Love V2, but the Point to Point is OK. Hard to figure out, some good and some average at best, but worth a visit. Service was poor, bartender was too busy talking to coworker and making new taplist signs to pay attention to customers. Space is industrial park converted to brewpub-chic.

    The fluffy puffy sunshine is the only beer I ever want to drink again. So full of flavor.

    Checked this place out due to the great reviews, I tried the fluffy puffy sunshine and it was pretty tasty, beer tender was super friendly and fun to talk to, I only gave 4 stars just because there wasn't much entertainment in the establishment but that could've just been the time that we went in but it was a tad boring. I will return during the summer to see if they have more activities like games or something. They do have paint nights once a month that look fun so I may check that out too. They also have live music but that seems to be around 5pm so i missed it. I will update my review when I return. The prices are also fair.

    Great brewery in the Valley! Nice open atmosphere, even some games to keep you entertained. A little loud outside since the freeway is near but the beer is great.

    Even the baby liked YaYa!
    K B.

    Great beer! Laid back and cool vibes. Plus indoor corn hole. The owner mentioned a few more beers they're brewing that should be ready in the next month or so. Can't wait!

    I don't hand out compliments easily. Usually I walk into places ready to snort, judge everyone…read moresilently, and knock over patio furniture if the vibe is weak. But Badass Backyard Brewing? Absolute pasture-approved excellence. First off, the name says 'Badass,' and for once it's not false advertising. Most places slap edgy words on the sign and then serve beer that tastes like somebody filtered rainwater through a flip-flop. Not here. The beer actually has personality. Bold flavors, small-batch attitude, and enough variety that even a 2,000-pound bovine with anger issues can find a favorite. The atmosphere? Perfect. Cozy, chill, unapologetically local, and zero pretentious craft beer nonsense. Nobody in there is trying to explain 'notes of elderberry with a whisper of regret.' They just hand you a great beer and let you enjoy life like civilized savages. Also, respect to the fact this place started as an actual backyard brewing operation. That's the kind of origin story I can get behind. No corporate boardroom. No focus-grouped IPA names. Just straight-up badass energy and good beer. Wanderlog And let me say this as "no-bull": if your brewery is dog friendly, has live music, rotating taps, and encourages people to relax instead of acting like beer sommeliers defending a PhD thesis... you're doing it right. Final verdict: 5 out of 5 horns. Would absolutely charge through a fence to drink here again." -Mad Cow

    Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Stop #13 (3rd stop for Washington)…read more This is a quaint & comfortable brewery, from the hand sewn coasters to the homemade dog beds, this place screams welcome home. Even if the beer was bad, you might still come here just for the vibe. Added bonus is that the beer IS good. We had a very solid IPA & coffee stout There was an odd experience of someone pulling into the parking lot, coming inside to use the restroom, then proceeding to cordially ask each table if they could spare $10 for gas money. Each table refused, she thanked everyone and left. Possibly a testimony to how welcoming the place appears.

    Moo. This cow enjoys grazing at Bardic Brewing. It's a family-friendly brewpub in Spokane Valley…read morewith thoughtful craft drinks, good food, and a calm pasture where conversations don't have to compete with loud music or glowing TV screens. When this cow wanders in, there might be stouts being slowly savored near the fireplace, humans discussing ancient literature, a family laughing over a half-finished pizza, or a nearby table deep into a heated game of Magic the Gathering with ESBs and cider in hoof. It's cozy, communal, and usually feels just right. One thing this cow respects -- the beer here is strong, and it's not brewed for the weak. There's nothing on tap that isn't unique or intentional. That said, this also means Bardic isn't for everyone. The average beer drinker looking for a simple, easy-drinking West Coast IPA that isn't pushing 9% ABV may leave unsatisfied, and that likely eliminates a large portion of beer drinkers in the area. For adventurous palates, though, this place is a treat. Lately, this cow has noticed the welcome hasn't been quite as warm as it used to be. The beer and food remain excellent, but the last few visits felt a bit less friendly. A smile or a greeting would go a long way in restoring the inviting feel this pasture is known for. Nothing has soured, and this cow will return. I just hope the hospitality rises to match the boldness of the beer and the heart of the space -- because when it does, Bardic Brewing is a fantastic place to graze. Moo.

I ordered the Fig Sandwich and the Fancy Pants Sando because I could not decide between the two as they both sounded very unique in different ways. I called the place up and arranged to come pick the food up. The person on the phone was very thoughtful in keeping in mind at what time I would arrive so he could arrange for the sandwich to be toasted at the right time. I appreciate small details like that. When I arrived, I noticed there were several tables and a bar where you can essentially get brews and food. I noticed they had several beers on tap which I was very curious about, but unfortunately did not have time to sit down and eat at this establishment. The person at the bar was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. The two sandwiches came up to $40ish. I brought the sandwiches home and first tried a few bites of the Fancy Pants Sando. I will have to say it was the better of the two sandwiches. I appreciated the goat cheese in the sandwich and the mix of different ingredients, but it was not something I would consider to be a great sandwich, at least not for me. Others might find it pleasant, but I did not care for it much. The fig sandwich was the one I was more excited about and expected some sweetness to be cut down by the bacon. I don't think it was a perfect balance between the two, and I got a tad much of the overwhelming sweetness of the figs in this sandwich. Again, others might enjoy it, but I didn't care for it. I really wanted to give this place a great review, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The beer looks fun though and might be a good reason to give this place a try, and you may enjoy their sandwiches and many people have. For me, that's a no-go.
