7 Local Brewery Favorites in Seattle, Seattle, Washington

The Pacific Northwest features some of the best breweries in the country. Cities like Seattle and Portland have excelled in the micro brewing industry offering tasty beer flavored with local ingredients. Say goodbye to the plain of Budweiser and Natural Light and enjoy some quality craft beer at one of the eight local favorites in Seattle. 

Fremont Brewing Company is one of the most respected breweries in Seattle. It's a local favorite for many reasons, but with one being that it has the most PNW vibe. The large in-front beer garden seating area attracts people to drink outdoors year round nestled in their REI gear, but it's also a pitstop for many local bikers. Located in Fremont and across from the Burke Gilman Trail, it has a true outdoorsman vibe and boasts many seasonal favorites.

Located in SODO, Seapine is another local favorite. Not only do locals love the taste of their beer, but the atmosphere boasts a very northwest "piney" experience. The industrial-style taproom is made entirely of wood and decorated with antique furnishings like an old "carpet" tapestry that hangs behind a near 20-seat table. Most people praise their ales and IPA's, and recommend the Sour Golden Ale or the Berry Gose. Established in 2011, the brewery is definitely a favorite among locals.  ......
