"Fair Isle makes this list a lot, and for good reason. The surrounding industrial buildings of the Ballard brewing district seem to vanish the moment you walk through the door of this otherworldly brewery. With its dark wood and exposed rafters that still somehow feel cozy, the taproom has the aura of a high-end wine-tasting venue. The array of naturally fermented Farmhouse Ales and balanced Saisons are impressive, propping up Fair Isle in an area packed with hop-forward breweries. And if you’re a collector, try taking home one of the cellared bottle selections for further aging to complex, tasty excellence." - Brianna Gunter
