Come for the beer, not for the food. We learned about Spada Farmhouse Brewery as we were volunteering at Kla Ha Ya Days, which is a community celebration in the city of Snohomish. We were at a park across the street from Spada Farmhouse Brewery and learned from the locals that this was a newish spot that was popular, so we decided to check it out for lunch.
We wanted to sit outside as we had our dog with us, and were able to do that on a late afternoon on a Saturday. However, soon after we arrived, the place became super busy and all of the tables were occupied on the patio and mostly inside. Spada is popular, like the locals said!
The food and beer menu aren't large, but there were enough options to choose from. My partner and I shared a flight of four four-ounce beers for $10 and we both had a burger. The drinks and food didn't take long to get, and the beers were definitely better than the food.
Beer was solid, and that's really why you should visit Spada Farmhouse Brewery anyway since that's what it specializes in. They also had a lot of saisons and sours, which is hardly the case at most breweries, so my partner was a fan. I had two IPAs, a blonde ale and a guest blueberry cider, which all had something to offer.
The food however was mediocre. On the menu the burger reads as wagyu beef, which is why my partner and I ordered the burger. When the server asked us how we wanted it prepared we both ordered it medium rare, but when we got our plates, there was absolutely no red at all. In fact, the beef was dry and did not taste like wagyu. Perhaps since it was so overcooked it was hard to taste the quality and juiciness that wagyu usually offers; therefore, you could not taste that with these burgers. That was the biggest complaint of our food. I will say though, the hand-cut fries were good. I like that they don't use standard fries from a bag. But if you want to substitute fries, it'll cost you an upcharge of $5 for a different side. And our burgers were nearly $20 already. Damn.
All in all, Spada has a great space and atmosphere, with a dog-friendly patio in downtown Snohomish. I can see why peeps would have a good time here over beers. But I suggest eating elsewhere, especially with the many options around town.
