Lil’ Brown Girl at Métier Brewing

At this Central District collaboration between renowned chef Kristi Brown of Communion fame and an acclaimed brewery, try a Central Calling IPA with the curried split-pea fritter or a low-ABV brown rice lager with a Luther Vandross tribute chicken sando.

Perihelion Brewery

This high-ceilinged haunt in Beacon Hill stands out for its selection of well-crafted shareable sides and thick sandwiches. Try the blackened salmon or vegetarian BBQ jackfruit sandwich—either one complements the brewery’s higher-ABV saisons, sours, and IPAs. Wine lovers also appreciate the neat selection of interesting local and international varietals and blends.

Ghostfish Brewing Company

You’ll find an entirely gluten-free drink and food menu at its SoDo taproom. Try the superb beers, such as the Meteor Shower pale lager and the Watchstander Stout, with its dark-chocolate and toasted-marshmallow tasting notes, along with pub classics like blackened Alaskan cod tacos and Ghostfish mac and cheese.

Plenty of Clouds Dump Truck at Cloudburst Brewing

The Shilshole location of Cloudburst features an indoor tasting room and a covered and heated family-friendly beer garden where the Plenty of Clouds truck dispenses Szechuan- and Yunnan-style dumplings, hot and cold noodles, and more. Pair these boldly flavored dishes with signature brews like the No Mistakes, a German-inspired schwarzbier, or It’s A Thing, a New Zealand pils.

Frelard Tamales at El Sueñito Brewing

This delightful pairing brings life and business partners Osbaldo Hernández and Dennis Ramey’s much-adored tamales and Mexican-inspired craft beers together under one happy Fremont roof. Favorite bites include mushroom-cheese and salsa roja–pork tamales, which you can savor alongside refreshing sips like the dark and smooth Conejo Azteca lager. Check the events calendar for semi-regular drag brunches and Noches de Trivia Mondays.

Halcyon Brewing Company

In this cheerful Greenwood brewpub with a dog-friendly patio, the extensive drinks list includes hoppy classic IPAs, heady barleywines, and flavorful hard seltzer. The house kitchen turns out Asian-inspired dishes, including plenty of plant-based options, like the Kim Cheese, with a beef or field roast veggie dog topped with kimchi, cream cheese, green onion, and house mayo.
