The Best Breweries in Seattle | Eater Seattle
"Arguably the most critically acclaimed of Ballard’s pocket of breweries, Fair Isle is a must-visit in the neighborhood. Walking into this taproom feels like entering a high-class winery, and not just because of the dark wood aesthetics — the farmhouse styles here are treated with the refinement of a vintner’s treasured bottles, which makes sense considering they’re crafted with native yeasts and refermented on real fruit. They often contain foraged ingredients too, which makes for some unique flavors. A good example is Nels Saison, a beer conditioned on foraged fir tips (which the beer-tenders say came straight from the Cascades) to add fresh notes of pine to its white wine-like New Zealand hop flavors." - Brianna Gunter
