Postdoc Brewing Redmond

I recently discovered a fantastic spot for beer lovers, and I can't wait to share my experience! This place boasts an absolutely amazing selection of beers. I was truly impressed by the sheer variety they offered, from local craft brews to international favorites. Whether you're a seasoned beer aficionado or just starting to explore the world of craft beer, you're sure to find something to pique your interest. What really stood out for me was their impressive collection of IPAs. As an IPA enthusiast, I was in heaven! They had a wide range of IPAs, from classic West Coast styles to hazy New England varieties, and everything in between. Each one was perfectly chilled and poured, showcasing the brewery's craftsmanship. It was clear that they take their beer seriously here, and it made for a truly enjoyable tasting experience. Beyond the incredible beer selection, the atmosphere was also a huge plus. The place had a wonderfully cozy and inviting vibe, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a few drinks with friends. It was comfortable and unpretentious, creating a welcoming environment for everyone. If you're a beer lover, especially if you appreciate a good IPA, this place is an absolute must-try. The combination of the amazing beer selection, the focus on IPAs, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a truly exceptional spot. I highly recommend checking it out – you won't be disappointed! I'll definitely be back soon to explore more of their impressive beer menu.

Had a fantastic afternoon here enjoying several beers. Overall all beers were clean, very drinkable, and very enjoyable! The bartender Tracy was talkative and also got to talk to the owner a bit. Cool story as a homebrewer! Several regulars were present and had good conversation as well. Seems like a great local spot turning out delicious beers spanning several styles. Bogus maximus (IIIPA) was very hoppy but not overpowering. I really enjoyed the Scottish Ale, not many places do those styles and it was well executed. They had food trucks later(and on a rotating schedule) but I opted for some other local cuisine. I'll be back!

Vibes were awesome, beers were tasty, and I appreciated the large amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Will be back!

Our go-to spot for hanging out any day of the week is this amazing brewery, perfectly located near the entrance of Marymoor Park. Whether you're looking to unwind with a cold beer after a long day or just enjoy some downtime with friends, this place never disappoints. Their Hazy IPA is always our top choice (though they like to switch up the name now and then), but their Blonde Ale and Pale Ale are equally fantastic. No matter what’s on tap, you’re in for a treat! The atmosphere is lively, and recently we've noticed a lot more people stopping by, even in the middle of the week, which just adds to the great vibe. The spacious seating both indoors and outdoors ensures you’ll always find a spot to relax, and parking is hassle-free. One of the best parts is the rotating food trucks—they usually have either Mexican or Thai cuisine, and both pair perfectly with the beers. If you're looking for the perfect hangout with great drinks and food options, this is it!

Awesome micro brewery.. As a UK person visiting for Microsoft MVP I loved it. Staff are awesome

This is my favorite brewery in Redmond, WA. They have amazing beers. If you aren't picky about a beer, you should try all their flights. I have lost track of their limited editions, but this time around i tried the Rice Lager and it was simply great! I love the vibe of the place, the staff, the decor and almost everything about this place! You can also order some nice food from the food truck and enjoy your 🍻! If you are gusting Redmond, definitely go here!

This place has great beer and a great atmosphere! It’s located just near Marymoor park and has plenty of parking. There is always a food truck with good food. Perfect for a sunny day with the massive outside seating and perfect for a cozy rainy day inside their taproom. Wish the staff was more friendly.

A nice dog friendly cozy taproom with lots of outside seating in the parking lot. Regularly have food trucks. Friendly staff. They have several rotating beers so sometimes their beer list can stray away from more traditional west coast styles and get a little too exotic, so I have not been coming here as often lately when they don't have a pale ale on tap; it's hit and miss.

Fair warning, there's no food truck on Tuesdays. Or at least, not the Tuesday that I was there. But they allowed us to order pizza, so all was good! A really fun spot with plenty of outdoor seating (picnic tables) and indoor seating (variety of seats). Water is in the corner inside. There are bins scattered around to leave your cups. I drank the Cosmic Tear, which was a light and hazy IPA that wasn't too hoppy. I also sampled their Barrely Concentrated sour, which I would totally go back for - a barrel-aged sour re-fermented with marionberries. Really fruity, really tasty. The line seemed long but they added a second person to the bar and it went pretty quickly. Would definitely come back for a chill hangout.

I checked out the Kenmore location this past Saturday. Great space with ample indoor and outdoor areas. I love these breweries because it's inclusive to family, kids and dogs. They allow outside food which is the reason why we came, as we just picked up food to-go and looking for a spot to enjoy it. Speaking of food I learned they have a rotating daily food truck schedule onsite as well. As for beer, I tried one of their beer slushies and I'm a fan. The passion fruit was so good! Perfect for this summer heat streak we're having.

We went on a Saturday evening and there were quite a few people. We ordered at the counter and then found seats outside to enjoy our beers. We liked that you're allowed to bring your own food, which we didn't know, but it's good to note a place to come hangout with friends. I noticed after sitting down that they seem to do flights of some sorts but didn't see it on the wall inside, so maybe worth trying in the future.

Postdoc Brewing is a brewery with great beer options, lots of outdoor patio seating (and indoor seating), and a casual atmosphere. It's the perfect place to grab drinks with friends. It was started by a UW Graduate who got his PhD in Biochemistry and had a brewery out of his garage. Postdoc has a rotating menu of about 10 different beers at a time. This time I tried the STUDY ABROAD fruity ale and the GUAVA GOSE. Both were quite fruity, but I liked the STUDY ABROAD slightly better is it was a little less bitter. You can order beer in a variety of sizes too. It's located in an industrial area, but they have plenty of parking. They also have a rotating food truck as they don't serve food. You can find out which food truck will be at Postdoc on a particular day by checking their website ahead of time. Servers are friendly; you order at the bar and bring your drink to the table. You bus yourself. Overall: 5/5 for drinks, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Postdoc Brewing is a fun spot for beers where you can bring your dog. I mean, anywhere you can bring your dog to makes me an instant fan, so Postdoc is clearly on that list. We had a fun time here. I've visited Postdoc a few times, and in my most recent visit, I came here to meet with friends and our dogs, which was a great time. We were able to snag a few outdoor tables, which have umbrellas for shade. Plus, you can bring your dog inside. Love it! I tried the Dissertation IPA, which is a double IPA. I recommend if you like really hoppy beers, as this one was solid. What's nice here at Postdoc is that not only can you order a flight to try different beers, but you can order beers in different sizes, so you don't have to settle on a pint if you want to drink different beers. They also have cans of different ciders in the fridge from local cideries that were tasty. For food, you can bring your own, but they do host a food truck every night. They post the schedule on their website. TVs are inside if you want to watch the game, and I like that they've put more outdoor tables in the front parking lot, allowing for more people to hang out outside. Parking is not an issue though as there's street parking and parking spots around the industrial park that Postdoc is located in. Looking for a dog-friendly brewery on the eastside? Postdoc is a good option.

A nice little brewery tucked away in a business like center. Pretty busy on a Saturday night. It seems they have some regulars that frequent the bar. Staff were friendly and helpful. I'm not a beer drinker and came with friends. Would have been nice to have a few ciders on the menu. Nice bar.

Over the last few years, this has become my favorite brewery in Redmond! The L.A.B. Partner rotator is always a highlight of my visit. Tons and tons of outdoor seating (mostly picnic tables with big umbrellas) plus two spaces with tables inside. Different food trucks on the premises nearly every day. The large male bartender looks a little scary at first glance but he's actually really nice.

Postdoc always has a full selection of craft beers to suit any taste. I'm particular to their hazy IPA and their wild ale these days. They are also the most dog friendly location ever. Super nice folks and always a good stop on a sunny day with their big patio area.

Great spot (Redmond) and great brews. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cheers

Amazing patio for beer drinking with your humans and dogs. They usually have good food trucks as well, and the schedule is easily found online.

This is literally the nerdy bar of my dreams. As someone who used to work in research I went a little bit too excited reading the menu. It just was so relatable! The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were good. The vibe was nice as well!

Just a good ol' Seattle brewery! Dog friendly! Plentiful outdoor and indoor seating, located in an industrial - like area. I tried the blackberry gose ($7.50), it was nice! There was a nacho food truck outside the day we went.

Located in a business park, I thought for sure I was in the wrong location. Turns out I wasn't. Nice spot for a beer and excellent variety!

Casual dining in or outdoor. Wish they had heated lamps outside. They always have a food truck but wished the truck would end later than earlier. Non-alcoholic drinks include: martinelli's apple juice, coke, sprite. You can bring your own food, your dog, your kids. It's right next to Mary Moor park.

Great beer, great vibe, and right outside the back gate of Marymoore so bring your dog friendly.

Have visited on a couple of occasions and always enjoy the chill atmosphere, good selections of beer, and plenty indoor and outdoor seating. They have a good rotation of food trucks too. They allow dogs for those wanting to bring them. Good amount of parking but it can get busy.

I stumbled across Postdoc quite by accident a couple of summers ago. I was looking for another brewery (that turned out not to have a tasting room) and saw a nearby sign with a large arrow pointing to "beer". Of course, I followed that arrow! Located in an industrial area near Marymoor Park, Postdoc is fairly nondescript on the outside. When I visited again a few months after that first time, I actually drove right past it! But on the inside they've built a warm, inviting tasting room and complemented it with a ginormous outdoor beer garden. On any given weekend day, the place is packed (in a socially distant way, of course). They have a wide variety of beers on tap, from the requisite selection of IPAs to more malty ales and even a dark beer or two. On my most recent visit a few weeks ago I tried their Hydrogen Blonde, which was perfect for a warm summer Saturday afternoon. Postdoc doesn't serve food but most times I've visited they've had various food trucks dishing out tasty-looking grub. This is definitely a must-visit brewery when in Redmond!

Finally a place where you can sit outside and the tables are very distant from each other. I am not a beer drinker at all, but I heard good comments from others about their beer. I really appreciate that they have a red blend wine, which I ordered and was pretty good. Our server was super nice, but took a while to comeback after the first round. I think it was busier than they expected so they may have been short-staffed. Not sure. There was an awesome food truck on site and being able to bring my dog was icing on the cake. They could use heaters during the winter. Definitely will comeback.

Loved the vibe here, great selection of beers, friendly staff. It's very chill and the perfect spot to catch up with friends and have a blast.

Ah, what can one say when one finds their special watering hole...located at the end of an industrial building with a small inside seating area but plenty of covered picnic benches out in the parking lot in front. Rotating food truck next to the picnic benches offer a food option to go with the tasty beer. Very casual dog and children friendly place that a relaxing spot to unwind. Look forward to returning every time we're in town!

I love this brewery! It is tucked right behind Marymoore park. We just love stopping by on a weekend or on afternoons during summer. We like to sit outside and just order a flight, some of their sour beer, or their sunrise which is my absolute favorite! There is usually a food truck that comes and parks there. You can see the schedule on Postdoc website. food trucks are usually awesome, but swift and savory is my favorite one. Extremely dog friendly! They have several events throughout the year as well. One of the events I really liked was beer and food, or cheese pairing. They know their stuff and are pretty good at it. We just love the ambience at this place.

Happened to bump into this place and decided to grab a couple of beers before we head out for dinner (This place does not serve food-Beware) They usually have carts from where you can order the food but, it was a Sunday and unfortunately there was no carts around so we finished the beers which were delicious (I especially liked their pumpkin spice beer-It was right amount of sweet and sour to make it unique tasting) I would go back again to check out their other beers. Nice place !!!

I really like this brewery. Very good beer, nice people with reliably tasty food carts. I like that they have a large outdoor beer garden. It's close to Marymore Park and it's become a regular "post bike ride" stop for me.

Cute brewery with plenty of outdoor and open indoor seating. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. My friend and I split a flight so we could taste a variety of beers. I am no beer expert by any means, but I enjoyed how much variety they offer. My favorite beers were the sours. Would come again! There's plenty of parking here and it's also dog friendly -- win win!

Love this place! Perfect neighborhood bar that allows dogs! The drinks are great and the food trucks are always good.

Loved this more than the Black Raven brewing in terms of the IPA taste. We loved the A1 double sauce - hazy double IPA...

Great brewery with a decent variety that is always changing. IPA, dunkel, stout, citrus, pumpkin or other seasonal beers are some of the ones I have tasted here. They even have one called something like Ghost Reaper that was in a Pumpking Beer Fest recently. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I like the bar and the decor. The best part is that you can come over with your four legged buddy and spend good time with other dog lovers. Everybody is super patient. You can play games and get food from the food truck outside which changes around the week. There's bbq during the weekend. There are treats for dogs too.

Redmond needs more post docs. Great beer, seating and service. Only wish it was open post 10 pms during summer weekends.

First impression of this place started great. It has an outdoor seating, indoor seating, and an indoor sitting with the huge garage door open for a nice breeze seats available. Bikers have places to park their bike, food truck up front if you get hungry, this place is super chill and thats what got my attention. Until I walked inside and the smell was pretty bad. Dont get me wrong, I LOVEEE dogs. We reallly dont deserve them if anything. But due to having so many dogs in a small cramped up space with no windows open, the smell is hard to ignore. I was also surprised to see that they had no IPA options on tap, which is my favorite. My first time visiting a brewery with no IPA on tap. Usually there are at least one available. Bummer. Still about 10 options to choose from. Overall, I probably wont be back due to the smell and the no IPA options available. But friendly staffs and great atmosphere to hang out with your friends! Id recommend this place, just not for me.

What an awesome brewery! They have a nice indoor area with bar and table seating but I visited on a sunny day in January and was able to enjoy their outside patio. Postdoc is DOG FRIENDLY!! We took our lab puppy with us and she loved getting to see all the other dogs. All the pups were well behaved and the pup owners were respectful. They have a great selection of beer. We did a flight to get a good sample of what they had to offer. I usually like lighter beers and really enjoyed the golden ale. There was a BBQ food truck that seemed really popular. Sunshine, dogs, games, beer, bbq, what more can you need?

Tried different beers from their collection. Good ambience and nice place to hangout with friends.

Love the beers and ambience. Having been spoilt by the amazing beers in Eugene OR, we were pleasantly surprised with Postdoc brewing. Great variety of beers and a rotation of food trucks for some munchies. Particularly love the sour beers they have.

Awesome place to come after a couple of hours at the dog park! Postdoc is dog and kids friendly, which is an A+ in my books! So why only 4 stars? I feel that the beer isn't the best in the area, but that's about it! Service is always on point with friendly staff! They do not have a kitchen, but they always have different food trucks in their lot ready for you to purchase food. They obviously allow outside food, so that is also awesome! Overall, Postdoc is convenient and a good place to chill. I have been back a couple of times already and will continue to come back after the dog park! Cheers!

Great local brewery by the dog park. We visited a few times during covid, they have large outdoor space and plenty of space to social distance while enjoying good beer and great service.

Postdoc Brewing. Noon opening on Thursday 17625 NE65th Street Redmond Ste100. 98052 Postdocbrewing.com (425) 658-4963 Taproom manager Jason: Very personable. Good experience and brewery smart.

Lactic acid bacteria, passion fruit Deep magenta with a pinkish. Sight salinity from Jacobsen hand harvested sea salt. The aroma is fruity with a touch of Black currant jam. It is totally like Ribema from England. It is not as sweet as expected which makes it a really nice brew it has a long slightly bitter/sour finish. ***1/2 stars. Donnrua Brown Ale. ABV 5.2% - IBU 15 Style: Brown Ale This has a dark toffee color. A slightly sweetened aroma. The hazelnut, pecan stands out with, the semi sweet dark chocolate following. All the taste seems to be in upper palate. The Caramel comes out in the medium finish. ** 1/2 stars. Media Blackout: ABV 6.1% - IBU 29 Style: Oatmeal Stout The aroma is chocolate and roasted coffee.

After extensive aging in oak barrels, they conditioned the beer atop a generous portion of pie cherries." I really like the name since it is a white stout. The aroma is clean and crisp. It has a very pleasant taste. Though it is a stout, it does not have the weightiness of the standard. The slight cherry taste in the very background makes this drink different in a very good way. It has a medium enjoyable finish. **** stars

Beer good; service nearly non-existent. Outside tables: no service in 10 minutes- abandon ship! Good food trucks

3.5 stars. I really like Postdoc, and have been going for years. Changing my rating from 4 to 3 stars due to a beer issue. BEER: 3.0. Good selection, but I was disappointed to learn from one of the servers that their excellent pilsner has not been brewed for this hot summer. So I settled for the lager, which was just ok. My partner had the mojito and really liked it. A strong point of Postdoc is that they have non-hoppy as well as hoppy ales/beers. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Nice wood-flavored interior with sound baffles that allow one to carry on a conversation in normal voice even when it is crowded. There are two outside drinking areas, one on the side facing west next to Marymoor park, and one in the parking lot facing north. There is also a warehouse area with chairs and a large-screen TV for sports events. Food trucks are usually in the parking area serving food. SERVICE: 3.5. Prompt and professional.

I'm a fan of Postdoc. I've been here bout 3 times - once indoors, and twice to pick up. I'm sure all businesses are struggling during pandemic and mandated business closures. I hope that their carry out and on-tap brews have been popular. My absolute favourite drinks from here are the Grapefruit blonde, and the Mango blonde, which both seem to be rotating around a quite a bit. Satisfyingly juicy and great to bring to enjoy at home or to socially distant picnics. Sample the ones you want from tap and pick your favourite! Staff is always good at suggesting what you might like. A 64 oz growler + beer will set you back $21; while the next time you bring your growler, you'll be paying $17 for a fill only. There are also cans for the beers that they have that are not on tap. Some outdoor seating and many doggos.

We knew we were in the right place when we saw how busy it was! The beer was great, the service was good even with the amount of people there including an entire Rugby club! So the beer was flowing pretty fierce! We had a great time and love our new growler! Thanks PostDoc!

Postdoc is one of the best of the many breweries in the area. Around meal times, you can usually find a food truck out front. There are 2 sections to the brewery, the bar area and some space in the warehouse. They have a tv in both for sports. It is usually packed here, and you can have trouble finding some seating. It is super dog-friendly, you are likely to find a 3:1 person-to-dog ratio here. The beer itself is amazing. They have a wide variety of beers, and usually have a gose or something different that even non-beer drinkers would like. They also make a variety of barrel-aged beers, which are always excellent. It seems like just about every weekend they are tapping a keg of something new they are experimenting with, but you have to get there early if you want it before it is gone! The only problem with Postdoc is you can't always get what you are hoping to try -- it just goes too fast! The people working the bar have always been friendly and knowledgeable. In the summer, they have a nice little beer garden with picnic tables.

Beer in Redmond....thank you, God! Located in an industrial park, Postdoc offers up great craft beer! I love their IPAs... try one! You will not be disappointed. They often host food trucks, which is nice to munch while you drink...otherwise, they welcome outside food as well. Also...your dogs are welcome. Now you are 100% in, right!?!? Note: Mac and Jacks has a tiny tasting room on this same street...no purchases...just tasting! It is fun and worth a stop if you can!

This is the second time we've been here. First time around was awesome. Second time around was even more awesome. 1. Kid friendly for a brewery. Yes, they didn't bat an eye on our first visit when we brought the kids in and I ordered a tasting flight. Kids hung out and did their thing, while mommy tried some great beer. On our second visit, we were sans kids but still saw a number of mommy/daddies come in and out with pints of beers in hands and kids in tow. 2. Super chill atmosphere. This goes along with the kid friendly atmosphere as well. I can tell this is a local hangout favorite. We aren't one of the regulars, but I wouldn't mind. 3. Rotating food trucks. This wasn't in evidence on our first visit. Great idea. We took advantage and brought dinner home. 4. Finally....the beer! Yes, they have a great, rotating selection. They let you know what will be available in the coming months. They brew sours!!! (yay). Their flavored beers are the bomb (try the hazelnut coffee porter omg). We loved all the beers we tried and were impressed with the blonde ale they had. Very clean and easy to drink. My only complaint is that there is one server and service can be slow. But she was so friendly. All in all, we had a mighty fine time.

Fabulous selection of beers and super friendly to my furbaby!!! Their, "Brett it and Forget it," is my favorite sour in Washington!

Beer is good. Service is poor. A sign was placed at entrance indicating to "go to table for table service". I sat at table waiting for a staff member to come out. After a while, I went inside to get a beer. I saw 3 wait staff behind the counter talking to each other with 10 tables full outside. I said it appeared they had no table service and they said yes. I mentioned I had been waiting for service as the sign mentioned. A buff, arrogant staff member said, "Don't do that". Really dude? Bad response. Blonde beer was very good though.

Amazing beers and cool food trucks are a staple here. You'll have a nice time hanging out with all the local doggie's that just got done playing over at the Marymoor dog park. It's always a nice experience with very friendly staff that has been there for a while! Nice tables and ambience, handles sound well, and when it's nice outside the patio is A+. I'll always have this spot in my rotation:-)

I tend to post my favorite spots on Yelp and this place is definitely one of them. We often ride our bikes on East Lake Sammamish trail and make this our turnaround/recovery spot. They are dog friendly (always great to see pups there!) and have a great selection of craft beer and ciders with a couple of soda choices for younger crowd. I like their ales, stouts and sours very much. Always something new to try! The food trucks are solid with Tandem and Mexicuban being favorites. They have occasional cake and beer pairing events which sound a bit weird but very delicious and fun. We prefer to sit outside when weather allows but inside is great too with fun ambience and not too noisy due to baffles they have on ceiling. Love the staff and regulars we see there.

Absolutely loved this place! Very well hidden in Redmond! Kid friendly, dog friendly! Beer is delicious and they have plenty of options. Which I appreciate:) they don't have food, but do have food trucks and of course you can bring your own or use uber eats!

Great brewery with a lot of variety on tap. They do everything from blondes to barrel-aged limited edition runs. Plus, you can bring your dog which is always a plus. One of my favorite breweries in Redmond. Killer location, great beer and a good atmosphere.

Went during the Washington Beer open house at around 4pm Third stop in a brewery hop in Redmond Bellevue area Tables expanded Place is packed Difficult to find table Difficult to get beer in bar area one of my friends was rejected service went to Bellevue Brewing ok instead
