Typical small brewery sampler room. Nice bartender with knowledge about the beers and full of locals getting drunk on their lunch hour.

2010-06. Visited late afternoon on a Tuesday last June, we stopped in for a few samples en route to our hostel. Surprisingly busy, I also enjoyed that it was right across the street from a store that had an e-bike for sale. Nice wooden cabin feeling, room for maybe 25 people if standing, we sampled 5 of their brews with the Hop Diggity IPA of particular note. No food served here but a great place to try their beer and soak up some local .

Great little roadside attraction in a magnetically quaint little seaside tourist attraction of a town. You can easily convince your wife/GF/date to spend a day or a weekend in PT. That’s one count for PTBC before you even get off the ground with it. It’s a fairly industrial setting, being as it is in corrugated warehouses used formerly for boatbuilding and repair, from the look of them. The tasting room is packed with locals and tourists though, got friendly service, tons of seating, and a great vibe. The beers can be pretty good or they can be just OK, but they have plenty of them on tap and that’s a fact. A great place to stop for beers when you’re in town, to-go or on premise, provided you eat elsewhere, They barely have bar snacks. I didn’t ask, but they might allow outside food.

2010-06. Missed it somehow on the way into the boatyard and got a tour of the place before finding it on the way out. Stupid GPS! Atmosphere is a bit spartan, basically just stools and tables. Good number of locals in for a drink as well as some obvious travelers like us. As many or as few samples as you like which was nice, we got fewer than I would have liked since I was driving at the time. Unfortunately it is just far enough out from downtown, combined with early closing times, that we didn’t make it back for a return visit as I had hoped. Bartender was quite friendly and helpful, offering a quick taste before I decided on the IPA. One of the locals cheerily chimed in, offering suggestions as I mulled over which samplers to order. Bottles and container fills available to go. Good selection of their brews on tap, most of which are decent or better. I would say it is a must stop if you are in town, I was pretty pleased.

Small-town charm is exactly what you get at this quaint little tasting room. Simple set-up of a small bar with additional tables and window seats. No ’table service’, simply grab what you’d like from the smiling lady behind the bar. Locals are unfailingly nice, colorful, and friendly. Their regular line-up is always on tap, and they spice it up with some specials/seasonals. No food menu, but they do offer peanuts and the like. Their core brews also come in bottles. Growlers available too. Solid little brewery that I gladly stop in to support whenever I am in town.

Good looking place, mostly locals. Have to get beer from the bar. Decent selection, some good, some so so

We visited this brewery on our way through town in March 2006. Great local brewery. A friendly atmosphere with a nice bartender and locals who were a lot of fun. Great courtyard on a sunny day to sit and drink a brew. Overall, the beers were real good.

Stopped at Port Townsend Brewing. It is just a taster room so No Kids. So wife and child waited in the car as I sampled some beers. The place is a side room right next to the brewery and if the brewery was running I bet you would get the smells of brewing for sure. It looked really nice had lots of games and a few snacks NO food just peanuts and popcorn. The bartender was nice but not too sure about her beer knowledge but I will give some slack since it was Sunday. I will stop again hopefully too see the brewery in action. Beers overall where not too bad easy drinking stuff.

Went there on a trip over to visit my sister in Port Orchard. Kinda funky location, but a great little stop overall. Had the sampler of all their beers and was really blown away! Great beers and a great selection.

Located in an industrial shipping yard, the brewery is in a large metal building but the beer garden out back is nice, though out of place for that location. Chair scattered about the lawn, it was interesting looking but still odd. I much preferred the atmosphere in downtown Port Townsend at the other brewery.
