Rooftop Brewing Company

1220 W Nickerson St, Seattle, WA 98119 | (206) 457-8598

From a 1-bbl nano-brewery that started in a garage behind a 7-Eleven, Rooftop Brewing has really…grown up into a 15-bbl production brewery and tasting room on—you guessed it—a rooftop. Near the south side of the Ballard Bridge, Rooftop Brewing prides itself on being a friendly place for the community.

Whether you’re a family making a pit stop off your bikes on the South Ship Canal Trail or just taking your dog for a stroll and need a mid-walk beer, Rooftop Brewing opens itself to all.

Plus, the beer hits home, too. Styles abound for all palates, including, currently, an oatmeal stout, Belgian witbier, American wheat, hazy pale ale, IPAs, and more. Hit a flight, then hit the trail again. Coming down off of Rooftop, you’ll feel like you’re walking on cloud nine.

Holy Mountain Brewing

Holy Mountain Brewing is a relatively new addition to Seattle’s craft beer scene, but they’ve quickly made a name for themselves thanks to their unique and creative beer offerings.

You should be informed that they don’t have a full kitchen, but they do provide snacks like cheese plates and charcuterie. Also, you can bring your own meal or place a delivery order from a nearby restaurant. Furthermore, be aware that it may be quite busy there, especially on weekends and in the evenings, so you might need to wait for a table or snag a seat at the bar.

Outfitted with twenty-five taps and walls draped with awards, Reuben’s Brews most recently added to that cache, winning a bronze in the “Barley Wine-Style Ale” category at the World Beer Cup 2023 for Three Ryes Men.

The English barleywine, which also picked up a gold in the “Old Ale or Strong Ale or Barleywine” category at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival, tastes like a “liquified, alcoholic Rolo,” according to Adam Robbings, co-founder and CEO of the brewery. “It features a full body with malt-driven caramel and chocolate notes and layers of warming complexity.”

Although Reuben’s Brews makes medal-winning beers, the taproom is very down to earth. Located in the pulsating Ballard Brewing District, the taproom offers an outdoor patio for enjoying weekend food trucks, as well as root beer, ginger beer, juice, and sparkling water for children and those that just want to take it easy.
