Métier Brewing Co Woodinville

Nothing but great things to say. Great beer (coming from someone who doesn't particularly love beer), fantastic service, and family friendly environment. The owner is welcoming, passionate and kind. We'll definitely be back again

We decided to visit Woodinville to check out this Black owned brewery. They have a good selection of beers, our favorite were nitro scotch ale and the MBC pale ale. We had 2 flights to try as many beers as we could. They also have a type of deep fried filled donut snack, which goes very well with the beer. At around 3:30 we also had a food truck and love music. We spent about 3 hours there, and also played quite a few rounds on their arcade machine. We had a very pleasant Saturday afternoon experience at Metier Brewing.

What a great little place to try local crafted beers while listening to live music. When you don't know what's good try their flight with 4-6 choices (I went for their IPA selections). They don't have much food options but pairs really nicely with croquette bun (this one is Black Eye Peas) 😋. They also have food truck after 3pm to order additional food like Jamabalya savory pie from @piebarballard.

Rodney was so welcoming and wonderful! The beer was very tasty as well. The overall atmosphere is so cozy. Definitely will return.

Went to Métier for a United Way fundraiser event. Cool geared themed decor and merch, lots of options for different beers and even cider or wine on offer. We heard the owner speak and he shared that Black owned brewies comprise only 1% of those in the U.S. He acts with intention to support his community as evidenced by the mission statement on the wall. Not only does he have a quality product, but he's doing good in the community. One of the beers supports the Major Taylor Project which helps kids learn to ride bikes via Cascade Bikes and prepares them to ride the Seattle to Portland. Kudos to Rodney Hines on being a great community champion. Excited to hear he has more locations opening on the Seattle side! Woodinville location is in a warehouse district with free parking close to 522 exit off 405. Highly recommend supporting Métier Brewing Company!

Super best and tasty beer! Customer service is very good too. I like this place very much and definitely come back many times. I recommend this place for beer Gourmet ❤️

Wonderful beer and wonderful people. Tucked away in an office lot, it's a fantastic industrial getaway. The beer is brewed onsite (as far as I can tell) and seriously quality. A few different IPA variations, but plenty of other varieties to try, including seasonals. Mixed indoor and outside seating. Great place to watch a game, or play a board game with friends!

I'm an IPA fan. One of my favorite "problems" to have is when I find a place like Métier where they have 4 different IPAs, that are all delicious. My only complaint about this place is that I took so long finally trying them out! Great service, solid vibe and decor, clean, well-polished... great beer selection (not just the IPAs!) and overall an awesome addition to Woodinville's strong brewery lineup.

A cold beer at Metier is one of the things I still miss about working on the Eastside. With their casual vibe, friendly service, and (of course) awesome selection of house-brewed beers, they're always a reliable choice when I'm in Woodinville and craving a cold one. The ambiance here is very casual, which is a welcome relief after a busy day of work. The staff always welcome you with a smile, and there is plenty of seating in the brewhouse. In the warmer months, they also have a lovely beer patio where you can enjoy your pint along with something tasty from one of their rotating food trucks. Thanks, Metier, for bringing great craft beer to Woodinville!

I came back again for another Yelp Elite event and this time I bought a 4 pack of their award winning Black Stripe Coconut Porter and a 4 pack of their non alcoholic Hop Water. I've had the Porter before and it is a very great tasting beer so I'm looking forward to trying it again while watching some NFL action. The Hop water was an impulsive buy after we tried it during the Yelp event. My wife and I both like it. Overall, this was another great Metier experience and I like the local Woodinville aspect to this place. I know there is now a newer location in the CD area but this is still the most convenient for me. Great job Metier!

Last Friday we were wanting to try a new brewery from our usual stomping grounds. We love places that offer tasting flights and have stuff for kids to keep entertained for a while. We walked in and were pleasantly surprised when we heard the band! The Stumbling Fiddler were there playing Celtic bar & christmas music and we LOVED it! Everyone was so nice too! We each had a beer flight and we all loved the cucumber beer and wished we had bought a growler to take home so we just might need to head back there. they also do have some cool games and coloring supplies for kids. We all very much enjoyed this place and will for sure be back.

Very cozy place! They have a good set of beer selections. The staff are so friendly and very hospitable. The beer we got was the lightest one but definitely seemed like it had a lot of alcohol content. will definitely recommend to other beer drinkers. They have their brewing in the same place which is nice to see as well.

Came into Metier while out for a lovely Sunday in Woodinville. Raised a glass for National Beer Day --with the Coconut Porter (CO2) and the Black is Beautiful Hazy IPA (Ooh-- and then a pour of the Kolsch as well!). Super tasty all around. Comfortable vibe. Enjoyed chatting with Rodney and other customers playing games and hanging out with their pup. Lovely way to spend a chill Sunday--Come in for tasty brews and nice people!

Had the pleasure of attending a recent Yelp elite event and this location, but can't wait to stop by again to hang out with friends and have some drinks. Really loved the vibe, great service, amazing drinks, but most importantly the small business success story of this place!

So disappointed with myself that it took me so long to discover this place, the beer is absolutely FANTASTIC! I would easily call it one of the best breweries in the seattle area We tried a little of everything. The nitro stout might as well have been chocolate milk... so creamy and delicious. The Pilsner, kolsh, and dunkel were executed to perfection. The exact epitome of what those beers should taste like. It gave me flashbacks of tasting around Bend, OR. Seriously, some good freaking beer. Will be on my list of staples from now on!

Wow!! Great selection of a variety of beers. Delicious!! Out of the way but worth it.

Came here on a Friday night with the hubs for a Yelp fundraiser event. He ordered a Pilsner and I got their Dunkelweizen. The Pilsner was good, my drink was on the sweet side as the bartender had mentioned but still very smooth. The employees were tentative - someone walked around to wipe the tables as people left. The only thing I would mention is the lighting in the warehouse side could be dimmed down a bit. Not sure if that's a safety hazard but this along with some music would definitely improve the ambiance of the place. Overall cool spot, there was even a food truck out side!

Great collection of beers! Laid back ambience and cool outdoor area. Recently reserved 2 tables for a large group of friends and we had a great time! Only drawbacks would be the lack of food trucks and also it was quite hot due to the summer heat.

Such a great wide variety of beer! Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Tucked away in Woodinville, but tons of seating and free games provided! Went here with a friend and it was a great little hang out spot.

unique beer flavors, have yet to taste anything traditional or something I really enjoy even, but others have...

While I was on a brewery kick (let's be honest, when am I not?) and in the area, had to support yet another east side place. Initially heard about this place from yelp's highlight of minority owned breweries. Went around 2pm, so there wasn't much of a crowd. Not sure if they still have the table reservation system in place for the busier times. The outside looks like your typical industrial building, but the entry way into the bar area was nicely decorated with local art and announcements of local events. There are two boards by the bar with choices and prices; one straight ahead and one to the right. You can also look at the paper menus. Went with the usual dark stuff, coconut porter, which was plenty dark but seemed to lack a little something. Also had their lentil pan, which was very good. Nice bar food. Took home a crowler of scotch ale, but didn't realize that their crowler was only 25 ounces; I thought it was 32. Aren't they usually 32 ounces? Maybe I'm just too new to the crowler game.

I love what Metier does for the community. They helped collect supplies and clothings for the Jubilee Reach which is a wonderful charity for the community. The owner give you a discount for your donation. Of course I grab the chance to help and to try this fab brewery. I dropped by on Saturday and this place is BUSY! They do have great spacing and signs for the COVID prevention. With a looong wait time, I defy to just do take out. I tried their Scotch Ale and the Dunkelweizer to go. The Scotch Ale is definitely my fave. The richness is perfect! I hope I can come back soon to do a tasting of the full menu.

COVID review: Came here during the summer when we were able to sit indoors. Metier Brewing had the most organized safety protocols in place that I have seen compared to other restaurants and breweries. I had to place a reservation online thru their website for a specific day and time. When I arrived, I was able to find my table because it had my name on it and they said we were allowed to be there for about 1.5 hours to make sure to have cleaning time before the next guest at our table. As for the beer, I enjoyed their Trailblazer Pale Ale the most. It tasted like a juicy pale ale and was not too hoppy either, which made it easy and enjoyable for me to drink. I also tried their New Zealand IPA, which was also tasty. Overall, I had a great experience here and would definitely recommend Metier Brewing for good beer and a safe place to drink. P.S.--They are dog-friendly here, which is always a plus to me. Metier Brewing is also the first black-owned brewery in WA state, which is awesome. It's great to continue to support local businesses in WA during these rough times.

Very cool Brewery in a remodeled warehouse. String lights and heaters were a nice touch. The staff were so so nice and accommodating! We got a flight ($2-3 per taster) and a cider ($10). There was a food truck outside when we went, but they also sell snacks and okazu pans (Japanese donuts with savory fillings). We got a couple of those too.

Absolutely love this brewery! Atmosphere is awesome, location is great! Beer is AMAZING!

Went here mainly because my favorite BBQ vendor (Smokestack Lightning BBQ) was doing a popup here. Was impressed by this brewery, their customer service, and their commitment to following guidelines and making things as safe as they can under COVID-19. They can also can anything on tap on the spot. That's cool. I don't drink, so I can't speak to their beverages by my own experience. But the brews we bought and canned for a family member were well received. Smokestack Lightning is due back here in September, and we will definitely be back for that.

My new favorite brewery in Woodinville! Been stalking this Yelp page for awhile now, after trying Metier beer at an event pre-COVID. I'm not one to stray from my usual IPA, but the coconut porter has me swooning! When I learned that Metier Brewing Company was now open for guests, my boyfriend called and asked if reservations were required, which they are. Reservations can be made online, where they will send you a confirmation e-mail. The day we tried to make reservations, all of the earlier slots were taken, so ended up taking the last slot online around 6PM. When we visited, we got there a little earlier than our reservation, hoping to get in. But nope. The place is that busy! Make a reservation way ahead of time if you want to get in earlier or sit out on the patio on a nice day, which is the best seat in the house. Once you walk in Metier, you go to the counter for everything: checking in, ordering beer, cashing out, etc. There is no table service, which I don't mind. At the front, they also have a basket with free disposable masks. Social distancing is enforced. They don't do a tasting flight at this time; however, you can try a sample at the counter. We both ordered the coconut porter and the Russian imperial stout, which were both very bold, awesome beers! The menu has a lot of different beers to choose from, so there will be something for everyone. But I just love how robust their beers are here. There's plenty of room inside for seating, as the space is large. There's even a kid-friendly play area. The patio out front is nice to sit in, as it's next to where live music is performed and the food truck. Staff were helpful, friendly and laid-back, as is the atmosphere here. It's a chill yet lively place, which is my kinda scene. Find me here in Woodinville.

Love the atmosphere and the rotating food trucks. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but the selection looked good and I liked my Finnriver lavender cider (bottled). The only confusing thing is that when we went, there were a lot of "reserved" signs which limited seating. Most of the seats not taken had a reserved sign, so we just took our chances and figured we would move if needed. I guess it's cool that you can reserve seats, but it makes it more difficult on walk-in patrons.

Requires a reservation as of June 2021! If you're looking for a Friday night or weekend slot, I'd recommend looking about a week ahead. They offer tasting flights for $2-3 per beer. Not a huge range of choices, but IPA lovers will be at home. Located in Woodinville's warehouse district. Glad to support a brewery owned by a non-whiteguy on the WA scene!

We two stopped in during COVID, with a reservation. BEER: 3.0. Both the Kolsch and the Ramble On were decent. SERVICE: 3.0. The servers were friendly, but they seemed attuned to repeat customers rather than new customers like us. We settled on a couple of beers that were on the signboard behind the bar. As they were being poured we noticed that beer flights were posted on a small signboard on a side wall - if we had seen or heard of it earlier we would have ordered the flight. There was no explanation that tables were individually reserved. We stumbled on this system when we took our beers and sat at an open table, but noticed it had a small sign with names and a time on it. So we wandered around until we found our name and reservation time on another table. AMBIANCE: 3.0. The highlight was a large piece of art made of bike parts and more. Socially-distanced tables were located inside the brewery and on the outside parking lot. Like many places wooden barrels were used for some of the tables; a nice touch was the addition of a "tabletop" atop these barrels for comfort. A muted large-screen TV displayed a golf game. Low-volume music played in the background.

Looking for someplace to kill time before an Elite Event, we found ourselves at Metier Brewing Company. I've heard of it quite a few times before, so I was excited to get the chance to try them. Super cute tasting room. String lights, games, and more. Pretty standard for tasting rooms these days, but I never get tired of it. Super lowkey and chill atmosphere. I was particularly annoying on the day we went and decided I wanted to sample nearly half of the menu before making my decision. EVERYTHING I tried was so delicious! Some stand outs were the Coconut Porter, Strawberry Cream Ale, and Grapefruit IPA. In the end, I went with the Belgian Golden. Super light, crisp, and refreshing. But, WATCH OUT. Those babies are nearly 10% are way too easy to sip. Could definitely be dangerous! We were pleasantly surprised when we found out that on Thursday, they run Happy Hour prices, so for our two very yummy beers, it was only $9 total. Uhhh, STEAL! Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop. Such a perfect place to spend some time on these warmer days!

What an amazing brewery in Woodinville! Got here on a beautiful sunny day.. highly recommend making reservations as they are pretty full unless you want to wait for a table to free up.. We enjoyed their Scotch Ale and Trail Blazer.. thats the beer i want to be around during the summers! They also have different food trucks visit them from time to time..Covid Update - they have plenty hand sanitizers around, everyone has to mask up, tables are very well spaced, staff sanitizes table between guests..Highly recommend!

I was in the area and my friend invited me to come here to have a drink and chit chat! The beers all have amazing taste. I had a flight of 7! Served in this super chic and cute hexagon tray! I was given the recommendation to try the dunkelweizen and it so happened to be my favorite of the 3 I tried! They are known here for their Trail Blazer pale ale which was also really good! I will be back! The atmosphere was nice and open. It would be perfect in a summer day. They do have space heaters inside at this time to make it nice to stop by any day! Fun fact that I learned while here is this is the first black owned brewery in Washington!

Metier produces a great beer. They are following Covid guidelines wonderfully, and are somehow able to do it subtly enough that you kind of forget the world is falling to pieces outside their walls. The staff is wonderful, attentive, but not overbearing. This is a brewery I am sure to return to!

What a great brew room! Lots of space and a huge TV...the best place to watch Biden and Harris accept the office!! Lots of interesting beers on tap. I was a big fan of their hazy IPA. They also had some pretty interesting art on the walls. I feel like this would be a great place to watch a football game and still social distance. Check it out!

Great evening tasting a number of Metier beers. My favs were the: Transpyr Imperial IPA (barrel aged-9.9%) Belgian Golden Kolsch Coconut porter (tho would have loved a bit more coconut flavor) Love Metier beers and love their mission: "To brew damn good beer And build stronger community To inspire bigger dreams for all" Definitely a must visit (Photo cred to my hubs, Steve F)

Metier brewing Company is a new brewery that has opened up in Woodinville. The space that they are in had another brewery in it prior so the space is being "recycled" as another brewery has taken over the old space. The taproom is nice and relaxing and the staff here are very nice. It was a bit slow here when I went here as it seemed like that there was only one person working on the a Saturday but that's alright. I wasn't in a hurry to be anywhere. I got a highly enjoyable grapefruit IPA here and had a great conversation with other customers which made the rest of my visit here very pleasing. Definitely a brewery I'd consider going back to for a return visit whenever I am back in Woodinville.

A big thank you to Metier Brewing Company for staying open during this pandemic and supplying us with some much-needed beer. Even though we aren't able to sit inside and grab a beer, I love how they have social distancing pick-ups with online pre-orders and even delivery. I mean, who wouldn't want beer delivered to their house? Thank you for the Metier staff. You guys are heroes for continuing to serve our alcoholic needs during this chaotic time. I hope to see you in the brewery again, soon!

Have been on a number of occasions now. This place has really good beers, and a number of other drinks available too if beer isn't your thing! The staff are always willing to give me samples of drinks I would not normally order. I love the space, the bar area is lovely and cozy, and then there is a larger space for groups too. Everyone there either brings their own food, or uses the food trucks when they are available. The staff are really chatty, and friendly which is why we keep going back! Lovely relaxed environment! Plenty of parking too. Some weekend evenings there has been local bands in which have been awesome, what a great way to discover new musical talent! Hopefully this place stays in the area, they truly care about their customers!

Our virtual tasting event tonight with the Yelp Elite Squad was great. Rodney gave us a an overview of the brewery and its socially conscious mission to support the community while producing some damn good beer. Michael took us on a tasting tour of the four beers on our menu. The Black Stripe coconut porter is outstanding with a perfect mellow balance of flavors. The Trail Blazer pale ale is a great beer in its own right, with an important social mission as well. Métier needs your support during these uncertain times for small business. They certainly deserve it!

How have I never been here before?!? My only consolation is that I've found it now and will be back. Seattle is full of good beer. But I have not seen any breweries who equally care about good beer and community. Metier is a black owned business, the beer is delicious, the design and ambiance is awesome and they give back by supporting bike programs for kids who otherwise couldn't afford them. Do more with your dollars and have a great time while you are at it! They have trivia and a speaker series.

Hands down one of my all time favorite breweries in WA Rodney and Bailey are two of our favorite people to come and visit, and a trip to Woodenville isn't a trip without stopping here to try one of their new rotating beers or going for the staple Trail Blazer, there's so much going on here from the Major Taylor project, to supporting local organizations for local food, and clothing drives, if you have a few minutes to stop in and support one of Washington's only Black owned breweries, it's a stop you won't forget, and it's one you'll turn into a destination when ever you're in the area

Great beer, awesome service, and a welcoming environment. The owners and staff are so accommodating and we always have a great time here. A pretzel and an IPA always hits the spot. Thanks for being so community oriented!

This is an amazing facility in the heart of Woodinville's wine-tour hills. If you want to come check out live music or otherwise spend a few fun hours with a beer in your hand, this place will most certainly take care of you. I'm taking stars off as a picky beer drinker, but if you just like a glass o' suds and don't want to get fussy with it, you can round stars back up. Off the 195th exit from 522, you go uphill and there are dozens upon dozens of wineries, distilleries, and breweries. Virtually every kind of personality these businesses can have shows up among all these examples. Block after block of warehouses and strip malls keep the tour companies busy, and the parking lots fill up with private cars too. Metier is a newer brewery with one of those warehouse blocks. From the outside it doesn't seem like you're coming into anything finished; it's just bare corrugated metal and signage. Inside, though, they've spent a small fortune on nice materials to build a taproom, a big brewhouse, and left a large open space for chairs or tables where people can gather for live music and other cool promotions. They've really done a nice job with it. On a Sunday afternoon yesterday, they had a signer strumming a guitar for plenty of folks happily hanging out with beers in their hand. 4 of us tried 4 different beers--a variety of IPA, Belgian, and lager styles. They all had issues with sharp off flavors and harsh alcohol notes. There was a steady stream of happy customers around us, though, so if you think it's odd to pick at flaws this way, you can disregard my statement. I definitely wish these guys the best, and I hope they put some thought into their recipe development and QA work.

WOW this beer is delicious. My girlfriend surprised me with three "crowlers" of the New Zealand IPA, the Belgian golden, and the Calypso IPA. She rolled in there a few minutes before they closed and the beertender was super awesome and gracious --he took her through several other tasters before she landed on those three. I will definitely be back!!

Great beer and a well friendly place. The people that work there are very cool and extremely helpful!

I met up here with a friend to grab some samples at a brewery we hadn't been to yet. The beer here is really good, and the barrel aged stuff has some great flavors. The bartender was very friendly, and we were given free popcorn at our table. We happened to be here on a night they had live music. This is the only thing that chased us away, as we were there to catch up and chat, but we couldn't hear each other even though we were yelling the whole time!

I enjoyed this place plenty space to spread out inside or out. Beer was very tasty, but I need to come back to try them all as I only had one of the choices.

Metier Brewing is a great place to visit, especially if you are looking for a low-key brewery with a little something for everyone. My wife loves their nitro cold brew coffee. She says it's one of the best she's had, so she loves coming for that. My kids love the kids area they have that's filled with toys and games, and is blocked off just for kids. Yet the adults can still keep a close eye on what they're doing from the main eating/drinking area. I like their Grapefruit IPA, which I would say is better and cheaper than the Ballast Point Grapefruit IPA. And while they don't have a kitchen, they do have a fridge with different food items for purchase, as well as chips and some other snacks. If you want burgers, there's a Shake Shack just a few blocks away and I'm pretty sure they'll allow you to bring food in. They also have a bar area that's more intimate, as well as a much larger area with a projection TV (and the aforementioned kids area) that's great for larger groups.

Wow, what a gem of a find in Woodinville! Came here as part of a Yelp Elite event in partnership with Jubilee Reach, and was super delighted to find this hidden brewery tucked amongst some industrial buildings in the area. Tried the Oat beer which was light and refreshing, and don't miss out the savory snacks from Umami Kushi (I could eat a dozen of those!) including the beef curry, jerk chicken and pulled pork okazu pans. Loved their pretzels as well. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Be sure to make a reservation in advance because indoor seating is limited given that they are practicing safe social distancing between tables (super appreciated!). Wonderful, super friendly staff and a great place to hang out with friends over beer and snacks. Love that this is a minority-owned small business. Will be back again for sure!

I recommend that you come and give them a try. They had a wide variety of good tasting beers! The facilities are in a warehouse and are good but basic. On a cold day with the doors open it was definitely cool enough to keep your jacket on. Try the coconut porter!

What an awesome place in Woodinville! Stopped by after I saw their post on IG. They're the first African-American-owned brewery in WASHINGTON state. #Trailblazer. And it's a solid addition to our area! Good selection of beers. Order at counter. Plenty of covid-19 protections in place. Hand sanitizer. Spacing. Staff wearing masks and gloves. Dog-friendly. Kid-friendly - they have a cute area for kids that I imagine would be open in non-pandemic times. I had the framboise (pronounced fram-BWAH) which is a medium raspberry beer. Good flavor. Seating is spaced and there are laminated placards on the table to show you what tables are clean. Flip the placard when you leave so the staff know when to clean. Pretty awesome system. Both indoor and covered outdoor seating. Did not make a reservation so we were able to walk in and order at the counter then sit down. However weekends can get busy so make a res on their site by 1pm if you want a guaranteed spot later that evening. Last note: they don't serve food here, but there's restaurants within a 10 minute drive. We went to Heritage Restaurant and Bar and it was an awesome evening. Make sure you check in on yelp and you can get 20% off a crowler!

Love this place. But they could use a real NE Hazy. Nice facility and beers but Hazys are a big thing right now.

Such a cool spot! We went on a Friday night and sat up at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and gave great recommendations. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for a few, so it was great having the chance to try a few samples and chat with her about the place. I ended up getting a flight and ended up enjoying them all, even the stout (slowly exploring dark beers). I'll definitely be back to try the remaining beers on the list, and to also try the food trucks. If you haven't been, go. And if you've already been, go back!

Wonderful beers, wonderful staff and wonderful community. I recommend trying they special barrel aged beers. Fill a growler of your favorite beer and take some home. The food trucks that show up are great, too!

Good beer and nice staff. Staff had good recommendations. Plenty of seating. They usually have a couple of food options, including a vegetarian option. Location is good too. Live music can be a bit loud. I had an IPA and tried a couple of dark beers, they were all good! Prices are ok. We walked over, but there is plenty of parking.

Super impressed with this brewery! Their COVID safety protocols are top notch and the beer is super delicious. I especially loved the coconut porter. They also had some unique ciders in bottles. Would gladly come here again and hang out in their big open space. So glad I found this brewery!

Attended a virtual event online with Yelp for tasting the beer. Drove down to pick it up first, and it looks like a super cool place, can't wait for it to reopen fully. Our online event had Rodney and Michael talking about the business and beer. We had 4 to try. Wei Wei Wheat was great. Super clear, loved this one the most. Black Stripe Porter was my second favorite. I'm not a coconut fan but had no issues with this beer. Super smooth. Trailblazer and Calypso were not my thing. Fruity stuff and I'm not a fan of IPA or Pale Ale. Nice to try some new things and hear the story behind TrailBlazer. I really liked hearing about the company and their mission and it is definitely a business I would want to support more. Looking forward to going in person and try more.
