Elkhead Brewing Company

Located inside of a metal sided multi business shop space. I arrived about an our after they opened on a Saturday and from the outside it didn’t appear that much was happening, but as soon as I opened the door, there were probably about 10 people inside a small tasting place right inside drinking and watching the Cotton Bowl. Right away, I was welcomed by Al behind the bar and he asked me what I was looking for "light, dark, somewhere in between?" as I asked a couple of questions about what they had on tap, he was pouring me sample and then refilling it with another sample. I settled into a pint and just started taking it all in. Super friendly people and in the hour + I was there, the place was constantly busy with locals coming in for a pint or two or just getting a growler to go. Diverse selection of all their own beers, will let you sample anything, 32 and 64oz growlers to go, no food, awesome service. I wish it weren’t so damn far, but I will be back soon.

very friendly, fun brewery and taproom in a business and warehouse district on a busy highway. without a doubt this place is a gigantic favorite of locals across the plateau. tons of regular guys hitting all kinds of crazy adventurous ales thanks to rich, alan, and the crew. its a working brew facility, but theres clean drinking space, enthisiastic elk head fans around every corner, and a dozen clean fresh local ales on tap. couldnt ask for more. gps coords n 47.09.546, w 122.03.169 if youre hiking it
