Georgetown Brewing Co

"It’s impossible to discuss Seattle beer without giving Georgetown a nod. It’s the largest independent brewery in the state, and ordering a “Manny’s” or a “Bodhi” at a bar comes as naturally to Seattlites as going without an umbrella in the rain. But the brewery itself is where one finds all the beers that never venture to bars or store shelves. This is where Georgetown shines as a craft brewer, complete with an award-winning coffee cream Ale as toasty as the patio fire pit." - Brianna Gunter

"Around here, “a pint of Manny’s” is as common of a phrase as “let’s reschedule,” and Georgetown is responsible. For the beer, not the flaking. And if you’d like to nab it at the source, along with other iconic pales, IPA, and their chocolatey porter, their tasting room (in...Georgetown) is an ideal gravel-filled place to do that. Especially with a friend you’re overdue to catch up with—just don’t reschedule." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"There is a deep beer list at this longtime brewer, from big hop bombs to low alcohol lagers to harder-to-find specialty releases. Though there has been limited tastings during the pandemic, Georgetown offers growlers, cans, and kegs to go, with curbside pickup available and even did a limited run of its Manny’s pale ale in cans for the first time ever." - Dylan Joffe, Gabe Guarente

"Those looking to stock up the fridge with growlers and six-packs likely won’t go wrong with one of Seattle’s all-time favorite breweries. Available at the taproom are its usual lineup of Point Break-inspired brews (Johnny Utah pale ale, Bodhizafa IPA), along with some seasonal offerings, like the Pirate Captain dark lager and the crushable December IPA." - Gabe Guarente
