The Best Breweries in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Okay, just one more from the Ballard brewery district and then we’ll move on (though seriously, the breweries here are impressive). Still, Lucky Envelope would stand out anywhere, and not just because the building is covered in gorgeous red and white zodiac-themed murals. The beer offerings here exude creativity thanks to Asian-inspired flavors and ingredients. Tired of the same-old IPAs? Just try Year of the Snake, brewed with tart pomegranate and hibiscus alongside citrus-flavored hops. Though if that’s a bit too off the beaten path, you can never go wrong with a beer like Karakuchi, a dry Japanese lager with a crisp, lightly bready body thanks to a combined rice and corn base." - Brianna Gunter
