This was one of my favorite breweries we visited on our Washington trip. I loved the vibe so much! The plants and the aging barrels really added to the ambience. It was beautiful and the beer was great. Highly recommend

Unique taproom with tasty old world sours and ales - something different that your typical craft ipas! Super relaxing vibe with lots of plants and farmhouse decor. Liked the peche (peach) sour and the cuvee (cognac aged) saison. The pale ale with spruce is also good but on the heavy side.

Wow, this is the place to go if you're looking to try sour beers. I started with an oatmeal stout, which wasn't what I would call an oatmeal stout, so I threw it out. Knowing they had sour beers and I needed to change my pallet, I ordered a #7, and what a delight it was. A full glass of a sour was $13

Nice outdoor area to sit, interesting beers for sure made with some unusual ingredients. Don't come here for your typical ipa or lager but worth a stop if you want to try something different! I enjoyed what I had here!

Literally the best beer I've had in WA state. Cool little taproom, too.

Most extensive beer menu I’ve ever seen! And the most unique selection of beers. They are primarily saison and farmhouse ale, with a variety of different herbs, fruits, and barrel-aged varieties. They are practicing social distancing so you just order outside. We got a few bottles to go because of the smoke, but they had some outdoor seating available. Very friendly as well!

The ambiance of Propolis Brewing is like slipping into your favorite sweater on a cold day. The decor is warm, worn, friendly, and full of life. It would be a great place to hang out regardless of the beer on tap. Now, let's get to the beer. Propolis brews excellent, unique beer. These are not the brews you will find on tap in the hundreds of cookie cutter traditions around the northwest. Instead of four IPSs, you will find four unique sours, crafted with love and care. The beer here is as good as any I have ever had, and I cannot recommend it enough!

One of my favourite breweries (the other is Avery). Exceptional saison style ale

I'm not usually into "funky" beers, saisons, sours, etc. But for some reason this was the only brewery open on our summer trip through Port Townsend so we popped in. This is a tiny little spot with an industrial park vibe. The space is full of plants and the tasting room sits right inside the brewing area. I would definitely say it has a PNW brewery vibe, though it could use a major dusting. I chose the least funky beer I found find on the menu. It was pretty good, and made me happy I was swinging out and trying something new. The dude behind the bar was super friendly and helpful too.

Great service, but AMAZING beer. I'm from Portland, so feel like I know a bit about beer, but these folks are very creative and know what they're doing. Treat yourself and give them a try. You won't regret it!

Emily C.

Yelp
I absolutely love this place. While I'm a gluten free so and so, I can't sample their beer. My husband attests to the quality and deliciousness, I'm grateful they have cider! This place feels like the start of a quest and has the vibes of the pnw that I grew up loving and feeling renewed by today. I can't wait to visit again when I can.

Most chill place in Port Townsend, and trust me, I've tried. Came about an hour after opening, the Taproom has plenty of garden outdoor seating and big wood tables/upholstery in. I opted for indoors where the atmosphere is pure jungle plant/foxy music/laid back breeze. Probably a great time of day to go, and even though I'm sure there's summer tourism, I've visited between the county fair and the THING Festival, so maybe I hit the sweetest spot. The beertender was super helpful with my preferences, helped me find two good beverages (you can also get a half-pour for $4). Draft choices were very nice, organic, and including ingredients you don't always see (such as fennel or juniper). Also: the washrooms are clean! You can't always say that in this beachy town, amiright? Thanks again!

Do you like craft beer but understand the difference between a microbrew and a brewery? Do you enjoy beers fine tuned to perfection? Do you prefer a brewery that isn't a family playground? Then, this is your spot. The tap list consists of beers that you've probably never heard of but need in your life. 3 different hop varieties for pales, 5 different oak and wine bbl aged sours and a few stouts to choose from. The pale options were so damn good, light and crisp. The BA sour options were all unique and delicious (favorite was Elderberry) but be sure to try them all. To top off an excellent beer list, this place has a whole vibe to it. Boho-shic with so many well maintained plants and flowers scattered around the place, perfect for attracting bees to fit the name. Antique furniture, and their music is played from a record table with at least 300 vinyl options. This place was kind of dead for a Friday night, but we enjoyed it so much we returned Saturday. It might have just been a slow weekend but this place deserves more love.

Wow. The beer was downright special. Amazing. Unique. The service from Piper was also unreal and so kind, informative and calm. I loved the decor and the whole Bohemian vibe. I am truly blown away by this brewery. I am a huge beer nerd who loves to try new things but I am just...kind of in awe.

Recommended to us by another brewery in town - this place was absolutely spectacular. Great beer, great ambiance and super friendly staff. Will be sure to visit when we are back in the area!

Fun summertime treat to sit outside and try their awesome selection of home crafted brews!

This is my FAVORITE spot in town! My husband and I have visited hundreds of breweries on cross country road trips over the years and this spot is # 1 for us both! The beer is so unique and delicious and the owners - knowledgeable and passionate. Summertime on the Patio making new friends or Wintertime indoors, listening to vinyl in a vintage rocking chair surrounded by plants. Highly recommend.

Okay, I liked Propolis Brewing way more than I thought I would. Yes, I'm a typical Washingtonian, so when it comes to beer, I choose IPA all day. But while in Port Townsend, my boyfriend who is a huge saison and Belgian fan wanted to check out Propolis Brewing. He dragged me here, yet I was pleasantly surprised by the beers here. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, as it's walking distance from the main downtown drag of Port Townsend. It was only about a 15-minute walk, as Propolis Brewing is located towards when you first enter the town. Like the buildings around it, has a more industrial feel to it by the water, with a welcoming patio area that's dog-friendly. The only food offered here are snack items like crackers, cheese and salami. At this time, they are not allowing flights, yet instead of a regular pour, you can get a four-ounce beer, which is what we did. We shared a few beers, all with interesting flavors. The menu was large, as there was a variety of unique beers to try. The employee is happy to go over the beers with you and make recommendations. We tried a farmhouse beer made with chamomile and lavender, a barrel-aged saison that was made with tempranillo, another farmhouse beer that was made with salal berry, which is a local berry and another with elderflowers. All of the beers we had were very different than the usual hoppy ones I'm used to, but they were delightful. The eclectic flavors of all of the beers really came through, and I could see why they're enjoyed by many. I also like that I tried beers that are so different than any other kinds I've had before. I would come back and check out more of the menu when I'm back in town, as it's clear that Propolis Brewing uses local products and herbs to make their craft brews. It's worth a visit while in the area.

Sidney P.

Yelp
Honestly, found this place to be disappointing. They make mostly "saison" style beers. These are a very unique style beer, almost like a sour cider. Help was unfriendly, at best. The brewery does not offer even tiny "tastes" so patrons can't really pick what they might like...just have to guess and pray. Not a fan and wouldn't go back.

Autumn N.

Yelp
The beer and ambience are stellar (best beer I've ever had), and make up for a lot (like the fact that the business is called "Propolis" but they have no mead on the menu--seriously puzzling). What they don't make up for is the treatment from the bartender. This guy acts as if your very existence is offensive, he hardly smiles or talks, and does this weirdly aloof thing where he barely acknowledges your presence at the bar and then acts like he's doing you a favor by taking your order. Been here twice now and it's uncomfortable, to say the least. His partner appears friendlier, although I haven't directly interacted with her. I have restaurant experience and have waited on communities of rude and entitled people, so I get it--but to treat everyone like a nuisance from the get-go is just poor business. I'd rather spend my money and time where I feel welcomed.

Stephanie N.

Really cute and esthetically pleasing for sure! Amazing vibes and great service! Going to keep it short and just recommend you come grab a quick brew!

Elise M.

Yelp
Okay beer but very snooty, stuck up service. Refuses to do any beer tasting which is odd...never been to a brewery that doesn't allow tastings. I understand not doing a lot of tastings to save money but at least offer some and limit them. Half of the beers are good and half are bad so it's a gamble. Way more breweries nearby that are much better.

Trista H.

My wife and I stopped in here for a quick tasting before heading back home after a weekend of exploring. Free parking is available. Discover is an accepted form of payment. This brewery is on the classier side and reminded me of wine tasting rather than beer tasting. Tastings are available in 4oz, 6oz or 12oz pours. I dig having options. I loved the tulip stemware with the bumblebee so much that I purchased a glass for $10. I know drink my wine out of this glass. I ordered a 4oz tasting of Gardin for $4 and my wife ordered a 4oz tasting of Litha for $3. We both liked the Gardin the best. The owner/brewer was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his craft. Next time you're driving through Port Townsend, be sure to swing by here for a quick or leisurely tasting.

We came here after being turned away at Finn River because we had our dogs with us. I'm so glad we did! Not only are they dog-friendly, they were genuinely friendly and welcoming to us, as well. As a bonus, their beers were amazing, and like nothing else I've tried before! I'm no expert, but I like unique and tasty beverages. Their beer is clearly high quality, and artisan...not for people with basic and boring taste. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more! Thanks for the great experience, Propolis!

Not my style of atmosphere but few beers I had were somewhat good. Dogs are outside only inside is limited space.

Propolis is next to west marine and some big motel, you must walk around back in a gravel parking lot. Inside on a sunny Thursday evening in September are fancy antique couches, probably 5 people reading, very quiet like a library. There's a fridge of bottles at one wall and a long bar with taps. Ask bartender what is good: he hands us a beer list and says it depends what we like, that they're 'all good.' Suggests we order the flight. I'm sort of intrinsically against 'flights' because usually there's a bunch of bad mixed in with the good. But... They have a short and long flight. After reading the menu we have no clue at all, these words that describe the various beers. We opt for the long flight for $35, which is about 3 pints of 7% beer-figure wed better get a full opinion. The long flight includes the more unusual aged beers. We sit outside alone with dog. About 5 minutes later the bartender and a woman carry out a tray of full glasses, explain the order, how to pour, to map glasses to menu, and go back inside. My wife and I spent the next hour tasting one amazing creation after another. Wife says sour beers taste like toilet cleaner but she liked the one sour that was included in our flight. Every single beer was worthy of contemplation, like sit back with eyes closed. New combinations of flavors, really really exceptional. I've had one or two beers in my life that compare with these, maybe the best day at holy mountain, but never so many different but great beers at once. When we went to pay I asked the bartender where all this beer came from, he says it's all brewed here. Who brews it? 'I do.', omg: this bartender is the actual brewer, the genius that made this stuff, he says he's self taught. I am a bit worried that I just experienced a perfect storm of greatness and will be disappointed on my next visit. I'd recommend everyone visit this place soon because it can't be so great forever. As a comparison, I was recently in bend and visited Ale Apothecary. Similar type of beer but... AA had only 4 beers available, and all beer was $4/4oz, $8/8oz, etc, so the 4 beer flight was $16. Not only much more expensive than Propolis but the beer there, while good, didn't touch the crazy variety of flavors available at Propolis.

A great place for some amazing beer. Plenty of outdoor seating available bit no flights due to COVID.

Stephanie S.

Yelp
Excellent brewery! If you want different beers, this is the spot for you. Most of their beers are farmhouse style/sour type beers. They off 6oz pours so you can try a couple different ones. One of my favorites was a wine barrel aged beer. Everything has such a unique flavor. The inside of the taproom is eclectic and vintage which also seems to fit with their beer styles too. If you want to buy a bottle they can get pricey but they have some unique flavors in bottles like blackberry and pumpkin. This was a good stop with excellent beers, worth a stop by!

Walking into Propolis is a complete transportation to another realm. One part antique store, one part oddities, and one (very delicious) part booze. The decor of this place is unlike any other brewery I've stepped into - and let me tell you I've done my fair share of stepping. But the best part about Propolis is the remarkable craftsmanship of their unique beer portfolio. In many ways, the eclectic nature of the interior maps beautifully onto their curious combinations of flavors. Elderflower? Pine? Local honey? Peppercorns? Sure, why not! Their farmhouse style ales are really an adventure for your tastebuds. To top it off, the service is friendly, they have games available, tables inside and out, a patio space that is dog friendly, a handful of tasty snacks (cheese sampler, anyone?), and a taster flight that will keep you and your significant other happy for at least an hour. Oh and if you can't make it to Port Townsend, they distribute their bombers to several locations in Seattle. Just call and ask. Cheers!

Very different experience. No IPAs here. All Saisons Brett variants. A unique experience for a beer lover like me. Still missed a good hop bite but I could really appreciate what they were doing here.

Jacob H.

Great setting with cool landscaping and outdoor seating with a funky indoor vibe. Great selection of beers very custom stuff with a variety of flavors but I only had the spruce ale which was a nice starter.

Shea S.

Cool hole-in-the-wall brewery with some really innovative and creative brews. Lots of aged and mixed fermentation stuff. Like that they give you regular-sized glasses to do tastings in. We'll definitely be back when in the area.

Emily L.

Unique offerings with an emphasis on sours and herbal additives. Unfortunately, they are not currently offering flights; they only have 6oz (most $4-$6 each) or larger pours.

Bill S.

It is a must for anyone that is feeling overwhelmed by the current IPA monoculture. The beers are creative and refreshing, and the space is very relaxing. You can't go wrong there...

Peter and stephanie W.

What an amazing experience!!! Piper and Robert are true entrepreneurs and they are amazing at their craft! If you ever want the most unique brewery experience in the world, and not exaggerating, do not miss this.

Eva L.

Yelp
Every beer is delicious. By all means, get the flight for $20. It may seem a little spendy at first, but you will be pleasantly surprised how happy you are with each taste. In my experience, most breweries or taprooms have a few great beers and a few duds. Of the 7 Propolis beers I sampled, each was very delicious and well balanced. They have chosen to focus on herbs and spices, which set them apart from any other brewery I've been to. It's a relatively small space, has a calm vibe, funky music and a unique feel. The staff was great and recommended a local restaurant to my husband and I (which we loved). Take all your expectations and throw them out the window, this place is positively delightful.

Chris M.

I'm so sick of IPAs and this place is always a welcomed change of pace. Every beer is thoughtful and beautifully executed!

Rick T.

Yelp
As a beer enthusiast, I was excited to try this herbal beer. The place is eclectic and funky and it felt like a nice place to relax. Unfortunately, the service was poor. We received zero acknowledgement when standing at the bar for 10 minutes and when we asked questions about their offerings, we received terse, snobby responses. This was embarrassing since I was the one that led my friends to come here. I get that they don't use hops and bitters like traditional beer, but was surprised that I was shamed for asking for something that was similar to an IPA. We got flights and enjoyed a few of them, but probably won't be back.

Robert H.

Yelp
A destination brewery - not sure how widely distributed their beer is, but they have some of the finest brews I've ever had. A belgian style idea, often using native yeasts and various local plants for additions. Never overpowering and always finely balanced. Occasional brews with barrel conditioning - I've been around, and this is one of the finest efforts in the US.

AverageAnna L.

Yelp
Do not come here if you want ordinary beer! These unique, earthy treasures come from incorporating herbs and local wild foraged plants into their farmhouse style beer and will provide an experience of taste. I appreciate the idea of the owners walking through the woods collecting the ingredients of the beverages they pour. The tasting room itself is small but personal and provides an up front experience with the brewing process as well as a roll up garage door for summer time breezes. The owners have been brewing beer for several years and won many awards but this location is brand new. If you're looking for something different and fresh with an old world, old country taste, this is the beer for you. I love the herb based beers.... ..not sure if that's because I'm a gardener or a nature lover, but this place makes me want to hike 'n drink!

Sara Y.

I have visited this brewery many times, and each time has been a delight. From the quirky/lovely interior to the kind and knowledgeable owners, to the AMAZING beers they brew, this place kicks booty.

I was walking my dog...rephrase...my dog was waking me, and we happened upon this brewery! I was admiring it and spoke to a gentleman outside who told me it was a must try. He gave up beer 5 years ago due to headaches but discovered this beer that doesn't give him that awful side effect. Now, to be honest, I am not a beer drinker. It's not ever my drink of choice, but I was convinced I needed to try it because of its curb appeal and customer recommendation. I went back to my hotel, got my purse and headed back. I did glance at other yelp reviews, just to firm up my decision to go back. I have to say that the reviews that speak of unfriendliness are completely unjustified. The people here are wonderful! Personable, quirky, helpful, informative. Those words really don't do them justice. So pleasant! I did the flight since I had no idea what to order. I read the descriptions of each beer in the flight and knew, obviously, what I would like. I was completely wrong!! All the beers are fantastic but my favorites were not what I thought they'd be! 2 bottles to go and I can't wait to go back! If you're in Port Townsend this place is a must! If you're in Seattle or Edmonds, jump on the ferry and get here! You won't be disappointed! P.S. don't read the descriptions, just experience the amazing tastes of these uniquely crafted beers!

I was up on the Olympic Peninsula last weekend to take in the Lavender Festival in Sequim and scout out the surrounding areas for craft beer breweries. The information that I had was outdated and after looking around in Sequim and Port Angeles for breweries I found out all seemed to be permanently out of business except for Barhop in Port Angeles which I have already been to before. Due to having budget my time more reasonably due to sluggish traffic and make less stops at the Lavender Festival. So within 45 minutes within closing time I made it to Propolis in Port Townsend! I really needed a drink too after putting up with such slow traffic all day! At Propolis I noticed they had a large section of Saison beers and that was what I decided to pursue. I got two medium sized glasses and two small glasses of four different Saison beers. I haven't had Saisons in quite a while. Probably the last time I had so many in one sitting was at Funkwerks in Fort Collins, CO. The Saisons here are elegant, delicate yet complex which makes some wonderfully flavored beers! I had a nettle Saison (Sorry, the precise name of the beer eludes me), the Zephyros which was an Elderflower Saison and was probably my favorite, the Granum which was a five grain herbal Saison and the Spruce which was a golden Saison brewed with spelt and spruce. The beer here is unique, creative and wonderful! The staff is very friendly and wonderful to visit with as well! Whenever I am in the area I will make a point to make this a routine stop at Propolis!

Emi T.

Yelp
Such a great find - really unique and interesting flavor profiles for the beer and a cool space, as well. I love sours and brett beers and the beer here, while not quite classifiable in any traditional ways (other than farmhouse), was right up my alley. Neat that it's a husband-wife team behind the beer - he was there pouring the day we went in and as we were leaving he told me where I could find Propolis in Portland (local for me) - thanks! I suggest doing the sampler - he will let you switch out a beer if you'd like to try something that's not included in the normal lineup. I also had the Rubus and I liked it so much I took a bottle home with me, too. Highly recommend checking out this spot if you are in the area and are a somewhat-weird-beer connoisseur like me.

It hurts me to write this. For i LOVE Propolis beers with every fibre of my heart and soul! I live on the Eastside, (outside of seattle). Propolis brewing is in Pt Townsend, a pretty and tiny little city a drive, ferry ride, and drive away. This is not a simple little drive to get to. I check Google, and the website, ITS OPEN ON SUNDAYS!! I get a whim to pay homage to my favorite beer by visiting the brewery. I jumped in the car at about 11 AM and headed out. Get to the ferry and get on with few problems, $28 out of my pocket....its worth it for the worlds best beer, right? Start the drive through Kingston to hood canal. Traffic is heavyish but bearable, all with the promise of tasting an amazing beer fresh from the tap. Pull into town, the excitement builds. I see the sandwich board advertising the tasting room I am STOKED! Great beer is about to be consumed. I look towards the building, Gee it looks dark and no one is there. People must not know about it. Doesn't matter, more beer for me and a chance to talk to the staff. I walk up to the door and turn the handle.....LOCKED. A small printed sign saying the tasting room won't be open til the 10th. No explanation, no nothing, just me, thirsty, heartbroken, and pissed as hell knowing that I will have to bear the drive through massive traffic back home. I didn't go to that little town for anything else. I went there only for a visit to Propolis. Shame on you guys for being so lame that you couldn't post a little note on your homepage that says "HEY GUYS...We are closed until the 10th". I could understand that. I could have waited. The fact that you couldn't toss $20 to some 15 year old kid to update your website is pathetic and is the worlds greatest example of how NOT to treat your fans and customers. The effort you would have gone to would have been nothing.....I wasted almost 8 hours of my day to drive out to you and turn around, sit through throngs of traffic just to get home. * GD hours. I run a business and would never think of leaving my potential patrons disappointed like that. This is the most basic of running your business....treat your patrons with the tiniest amount of respect. If you are closed outside the posted hours, take 2 minutes to update your website. Weakest of sauce!

We walk in and everyone in the bar is silent. I go up to the bar and ask the bartender what's his favorite and he responds smugly "I make it so it's all good, all my favorite" I ask to sample and beer and he gives the wrong beer to sample. I ask for the beer I originally requested and another sample (the original two I wanted to sample) and he says "You know, if you want to try all the beer you should really just buy a flight" Extremely off-putting, unwelcoming and rude. The lady who works here was very warm and kind though. The beer gave my group a stomach ache and frankly was raunchy -- I personally am a huge beer fan (lived in Georgetown for three years trying all varieties) -- this place is no good. One star

Abe M.

Yelp
With so many craft brewery's popping up in PNW now days, it's hard to choose where to go. Coming from a long motorcycle run, me and a friend stopped in and had a flight of the 11 and what a breath of fresh air! Instead of being like other craft brewery's , there were beers with ingredients I didn't expect and it was delicious and adventurous! My friends and I will be back again for certain!

Sean K.

Yelp
Pleasant surprise in Port Townsend after fighting for parking at Port Townsend Brewing only to find out they didn't allow kids. Went down the street to Propolis and was greeted by a friendly staff and chill venue with some interesting beers. We split the the 11 beer sampler and we staved off the kids with pineapple soda! Definitely give it a try if you are in this area and have some time to kill.

Caleb K.

Yelp
"If you're not being handed the beer from the person who made it, it's not a microbrewery"--the lovely owner/beer tender at Propolis. They really take pride in their craft here, and if you are looking for complex beers (well herbed sours and barrel aged) they are way too good at those for how small they are. I think this is one of the top 2 breweries in the state (up with Holy Mountain).

Ty T.

Yelp
Some of the best bet I've ever had. If you're tired of IPA's dominating every beer list, this place is for you.

Jalisa M.

Yelp
My husband and I visited this place today on a quick getaway from Tacoma. We had heard good things and he being a beer enthusiast was excited to try. The decor was cool, the beer was decent but what ruined the experience was the owner was - and this is putting it nicely- extremely rude and off putting. He barely offered us more than a few grunts when we asked questions, in fact, he made us feel weird for even daring to ask a question about the beer. He never checked in to see how we liked the beer or if there was any questions. And since we were the only people there and he kept walking back and forth from outside to inside you would have thought, as the owner he could have made a small ammt of effort. But no, I'd give this place negative stars if I could. Don't waste your time!

Corrie D.

Yelp
The beer was creative and pretty good but the owner (who served us) wasn't the least bit friendly. I've never been so uncomfortable sitting at a bar having a beer while the bartender watched our every sip yet refused to engage in any conversation whatsoever. Such a weird experience.

Tracy G.

Yelp
Great fun to come in an have a flight of 11 craft beers. The beers range from light colored and flavored lager-type ales to dark brews. All are clean and full-mouthed. I liked the lightest and the darkest of the flight and kind of lost my enthusiasm in the middle range but that's just me. Service is terrific. The owner is on-site and helpful in describing process, etc. Snacks are limited but well-curated with many local selections. Both the beers and the drinking experience were top-notch.

Nick B.

Yelp
A nice atmosphere and friendly owner/brewer. I personally like Farmhouse Ales or Saisons but if you don't like them this is not the place for you. Kid friendly place. A little tame for my kiddos so they got impatient with me. I would definitely stop by again for a taster.

Sergiy G.

Yelp
If you like sour or Belgian style beers, this is the place to be. Attentive service, cozy ambiance and amazing beer selection of sours. Go for 11 beer taster: it's an amazing experience of all the beers on tap and it makes a statement.

Kari E.

Yelp
While I might not love every one of the beers here, each one is a work of art. They had an elderflower one a couple months ago that was just out of this world. It's a great spot to hang out, super chill vibe, dogs are allowed, and they have games you can play!

Jazmin M.

Yelp
Loved the vibe here, with all of the vintage furniture and plants everywhere. Also loved that you can buy a taster set of all the beers on the menu. We didn't ultimately love the beer, but to each their own. Worth trying to experience different styles - they had the most saisons on tap I've seen at a brewery. The Melissa was my favorite, and I'm usually not a fan of saisons.
