The Best Breweries In Ballard - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Drinking at Stoup feels like having your friend pour you a beer they brewed in their garage, only it’s actually good. There’s a wall covered completely in bumper stickers, the bar shares a room with the massive beer-making tanks, and rotating food trucks—like Bread & Circuses and Kathmandu Momocha—are always parked outside. The best part about Stoup is that it works for all types of weather—during winter, the main tasting room has plenty of seats, and when the sun comes out, the garage doors swing open and you can sit outside on a patio table. Plus, there’s a bonus beer garden around the corner with a firepit, and a second bar upstairs." - aimee rizzo
