Seattle Tap Rooms Want to Hook Millennials With Hard Seltzer and More | Eater Seattle

"At 3901 1st Ave S in SoDo I found a sleek, minimalist seltzery with 15 rotating flavors on tap (including taproom-only options like cucumber mint and peach rosé), pints for $6, and cocktails starting around $11—such as the Snug Harbor made with bourbon, lemon, aperol, and San Juan Seltzer fuji apple. The seafood-focused menu is from chef Ethan Stowell, and the nautical, San Juan Island–themed space features a fire pit, blankets, and driftwood; the company emphasizes regional ingredients (peaches from Yakima, pears from Oregon) and markets the drinks as zero carbs, no sugar, gluten free, and just 4.2% ABV. The vibe skewed decidedly 30-and-under during my visit, with indie rock playing and an indoor play area and toddler activities to appeal to younger parents, and the brand— which trademarked the term “seltzery”—is aiming to expand with more taprooms if this location succeeds." - Kelly Knickerbocker
