"The folks at Standard make it known that they’re very against hype. That said, their brewery is worthy of it. This Central District staple’s been around for over a decade, and if the frequent lines outside are any indicator, it’s sure made an impact. Considered a hub for some of the city’s best Pale Ales, Porters, and funky oak-aged styles, Standard literally helped set the standard for Seattle beer, and they’ve got the Best of Craft and Washington Beer Awards medals to show for it. The taco-centric food menu is pretty excellent as well." - Brianna Gunter
