The owners were behind the counter, welcoming everyone and pouring the beer, very friendly and knowledgeable about their beers. Looking over a good selection of different style beers for a small brewery. After a little quizzing of Kipp and Bradley, the Aussie sparkling Ale 'Hyphen 18' was my first selection, all Aussie hops, brewed with a brut type finish, like one of my favorites at Drakes brewery in Cali ( sad days when they retired it) very refreshing, balanced ( not over hopped) with a brut (dry) finish, definitely a good choice after a warm day of work or play. Part of the philosophy of Bugu brewing is brewing well balanced beers, which from the tastings from my first visit they've accomplished very well. Well balanced with great flavor brews. Of course being a lover of Reds, I also tried a full pour of their take on Irish reds.. Donnybrook, very flavorful with a good full bodied taste, very smooth. I can imagine it could only taste better, if they added nitro to the mix, to add a little creaminess, but great just the way they did it. I'm looking forward to return stops, after more hiking adventures in the Mount Baker forest area. Plenty of food places nearby, that are also welcome as you enjoy this gem of a brewery in Monroe. Cheers!

The ambiance was a little different from what I expected based on the type of food being served. To me, the interior felt more like a casual BBQ style restaurant than the atmosphere I had imagined for the menu. That said, the service was impeccable from start to finish, and the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the Homestyle Cornbread, which is baked and then fried. I loved the contrast. The outside had a great crunch while the inside stayed soft and moist. It was a really good way to start the meal. For my main course, I ordered the clams with ground chorizo sausage. I never would have thought to pair clams with such a rich and flavorful broth, but it absolutely worked. The chorizo added so much depth, and I enjoyed every bit of the dish. My husband ordered the pork loin, and I have no idea what they did to it, but it was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. It was also packed with flavor. I tried a bite and thought it was delicious. For dessert, we shared the whipped cream with berries. It was light and pleasant, although compared with the rest of the meal, I did not find it particularly memorable. Overall, the food and service were the highlights of the evening. Even though the atmosphere was not quite what I expected, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely consider coming back.

We were bored on a Friday afternoon and decided to do a little road trip out to Monroe. It was a…read morepleasant drive, on a beautiful day. Our destination was the Route 2 Taproom, as it sounded interesting, and we've never been. We arrived, and it was what we were expecting, a very nice indoor seating area with quite a few tables, and a very nice outdoor patio. We chose the patio, which had a self service walk up bar. Just made it convenient and you didn't have to wait for someone to come to your table. My wife chose the fish and chips, which you'll see in the photo were very abundant, and cooked very nicely with a modest amount of fries, in my opinion, I would've liked more. The flavor was really good. I chose the chicken wings, which I was told I could pick multiple flavors, I chose the sweet chili, and the lemon pepper. Really like the sweet chili, the lemon pepper... well, was much too lemony. The beer selection here was quite extensive, we chose one of the lighter session IPAs, which was quite good. Overall, the staff was very friendly, engaging, and did a great job of taking care of everybody while we were there. I will definitely go back when I'm in the neighborhood. Thank you

I happened to visit on a Saturday afternoon with live music which added a ton to the experience. Plenty of easy parking, a food truck was present when I visited, there's a coffee stand in the parking lot, snacks/non alcoholic drinks available for sale inside. Lots of room both inside and out, a large outside area with a couple fire tables and an actual fire pit, some plastic axe throwing and other things, tons of room for dogs and children. Some of the outside area was covered for those days when you want to be outside at a fire table but the weather disagrees. Lots of beers to choose from but also a distillery on site with a separate room and cocktails available for purchase. This room has a fancier decor and is 21 plus if you want to be away from those with children. I guess Glory Bucha Kombucha is also being brewed on site. They were out of the blackberry pale beer when we visited, but plenty of other tasty options on tap. Sounds like they also have a connection with a winery and a cider company. Multiple people behind the bar is also a plus. My only complaint is that a place this large could use more than 2 bathrooms. I'll definitely be adding this to my Snohomish rotation and hope to be back again soon. Fingers crossed I can snag a fire table next time.

It's a friendly place and they clearly have devoted regulars. In long I had the afternoon to goof off and I've earned a little cheat, so I stopped in for a few beers. The Basic IPA was a little too malty, as was the Huger Heffer (hefeweizen). The Hazy IPA was solid, lots of citrus and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. The bartender happily jumped right in to change one of the huge flatscreens over to the Mariner game. (We even won!). It was slow for the first hour or two I was there. The barn doors were open and you could see a couple kids and dogs running around. Turf on the deck outside, some open grass, cornhole, axe-throwing. Lots of fun low-tech stuff happening. A two-piece cover band came in after a while and started playing. Dad jokes galore. Good vibe, they clearly pulled in tons of people who wanted to check them out. Everybody's having fun. I didn't try the cocktails, and all I can say about the food truck is that they were super friendly and the food smelled incredible. This is a good-enough hangout for one person and would clearly be great for a group, even a big group. Fun day in the valley. I'll say that is all accessible, and the washrooms are gender-neutral. They're accessible, too, though there are no grab bars and the toilets are *really* low to the ground. Plenty of room to move around in there, though.

The Coopers Drake is hard to describe flavor wise, as is the Braie Noir. It's not a rye flavor, not a porter, not an amber, but presents as a series of complex yet sweet flavors with a hint of whisky. The Braie was sour and sweet like a granny Apple pie. I could be content with either one. My missus who doesn't take a shine to porters or stouts absolutely loved both. Tuscan bean rosemary soup was the perfect accompaniment, and before you whine about $10 bread service, theirs comes with salted creamy butter, fig jam, candied pecans and apples and the tastiest country bread you've had. Service was excellent - the server letting us try several offerings and giving detailed descriptions. We can't wait to return. Been driving by this gem for years but only stopped today and now wishing I had stopped by earlier.
