"Drinking at Stoup feels like having your friend’s homebrew, only it’s good. There’s a wall covered completely in bumper stickers, the bar shares a room with the massive beer-making tanks, and rotating food trucks—like Off The Rez and Mexicuban—are always parked outside. The best part about Stoup is that it works for all types of weather—during winter, the main tasting room has plenty of seats, and when the sun comes out, the garage doors swing open and you can sit outside on a patio table. Plus, there’s a bonus beer garden around the corner with a firepit, and a second bar upstairs." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"When Optimism Brewing was around, we wouldn't have changed anything about the expansive space—except their mediocre beer. Apparently, that wasn't too much to ask for, because Stoup, one of the best breweries in town, took over. This Capitol Hill outpost is the perfect place to host IPA-fueled birthday parties, secret patio hangs with food truck lunches, and pre-wedding welcome events. Now, with better beer." - Aimee Rizzo
"Stoup is a Ballard standby that never gets old. Drinking here feels like having a beer made by your friend who brews in their garage, only it’s actually good.

"Stoup Brewing will have a pipe and drum band at 3:30 p.m. and the normally IPA-centric brewery will be releasing a stout." - Harry Cheadle
