Seattle’s Best Breweries
"Whether lounging on the indoor porch swing or snagging some okazu pan (savory Japanese buns) from the food stand next to the bar, a trip to Métier feels like being at a friendly neighborhood hangout. It makes sense given their mission; the proudly Black-owned brewery opened its popular Central District taproom in 2022 with the goal to promote diversity and to “brew damn good beer and build a stronger community to inspire bigger dreams for all.” (The ozaku pan comes from the Black-owned Umami Kushi.) Not only is this an abundantly welcoming space, but Métier makes a seriously tasty Italian pilsner and a whole lineup of flavor-packed lighter styles (though there is the occasional double-digit percenter for fans of high ABVs)." - Brianna Gunter
