"It doesn’t matter what season it is—Optimism Brewing Company always feels like a mall on Black Friday, only without the random power walkers taking laps around the perimeter. But what a lot of people don’t know is that there’s a relaxing pocket away from the chaos, and it’s outside near the daily-rotating food truck. Have beers out here instead of within the swirling vortex of people waiting for a schooner. And if you’re one of those people, get the raspberry solarpunk." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
"Optimism Brewing is temporarily closing because of the unhealthy air quality." - Gabe Guarente
"This Capitol Hill brewery was the first to be granted one of the larger street permit closures, which allows it to spread out onto Broadway Court, a relatively quiet, non-arterial side street. This doubled Optimism’s overall capacity — all while allowing customers to remain suitably distanced from each other. Plus, it’s a coworking space by day." - Tim Forster
"Popular beer destination Optimism Brewing on Capitol Hill is the first business to be approved for the city’s new free street closure permits — a way to increase outdoor restaurant and bar seating. The brewery used the permit to expand its outdoor beer garden on Broadway Court this past weekend, more than doubling capacity." - Gabe Guarente
"Optimism Brewing has offered phone charging and bathroom breaks." - Gabe Guarente
