Went there on a Sunday evening with my wife, young son and our dog. Super dog friendly and the staff was really friendly and knowledgeable. They have a food truck attached and a nice patio. Looking forward to going back! read more

The attached food truck was slow, the burgers we received were greasy and didn't taste good. Didn't go there for the food so whatever. The beers were a big let down. Even if the service had been better (rude and slow), we wouldn't be coming back given the poor quality of the beer. read more

Great brewery in Whitecenter. Great beer selection, kid friendly, and has a really good burger food truck on site. Definitely a good spot to check out if you are in the area read more

This space has changed owners and name's a few times over the years. It maintains its beachy charm and has a fun layout. I enjoyed their beer and sitting on Adirondack chairs with my friends watching the sunset. The view was spectacular. Seemed averaged price, good selection, tasted good. I'm not sure if they had food, I just had a beer or two. Wonderful place to sit pensively with a beer or hang out with friends. read more

One of the nicer brewing spots I've been to. The owners were so nice. I love how you can see the brewing process through the window. I was fortunate to try their IPA for the Taste of White Center event and it was great, I usually don't like IPAs or beers but the drink was not too strong and very refreshing. I'd come back! read more

Future Primitive Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good thing they have amazing food. I'll be back when they have more lemon pepper wings and besitek. The food we had was absolutely amazing. The cider was pretty good too. I wasn't feeling any of their beers on tap. I'm not a huge beer fan. But I usually find at least 1 that I somewhat enjoy, so that was a bummer. But hey, the cider was good and the food even better. I also enjoyed the space. Several areas to hang. I choose indoors upstairs with a view of the stills. Not sure what they are called. Prices are also fair. This place isn't the easiest to point out while driving by, but still not hard. Come on in, order some yunny bites, then grab a drink and a seat. read more

I just had to rave about this place because it was such a cool place to come hang! All the beers are delicious over here! And a special shout out to the food truck attached to this place. It's called farm boy, it was probably one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. The pickles are absolutely delicious but the habanero sauce is soo good on the side! read more

Covid Review: Some local breweries during this pandemic have closed, while some breweries, such as Future Primitive have become even a better destination. Future Primitive have stepped up to provide some permanent roofing over their outdoor beer seating with some area heating that has really enhanced the experience of drinking beer outdoors. They have additionally during the weekends had some food options that fill the spot when having a few beers in the winter months. The beer choices keeping getting better with everything from lagers, seltzers, IPAs, pilsners, ales, stouts and porters. They have really adapted well to the new social distancing rules, requiring masks, providing space heaters and spacing out seating to protect patrons. This is one of my top choices, if not the top place to drink great PNW beer when you live or visit White Center and the general South Seattle area. read more

Cool place to enjoy a beer or a few, great food truck slinging out smash burgers and jojo's. Conveniently located walking distance from an event I was helping out with, I was able to take a break and check it out, and try a few of their brews on a break, first up was their 'Yaass Beach' IPA, a good solid refreshing drinking IPA, well balanced not overly hopped. Very casual atmosphere, the tap artists and manager were all very friendly and helpful with selections. As you'll see throughout this review they have some imaginative and non apologetic titles for their beers, all in fun of course. I finished off my first session, before heading back to the event, with their take on a lager 'Long Love Funk' , a great selection for those who aren't into hoppy IPA's, but enjoy a good solid brew with that beer taste bite to it. Definitely very tasty and drinkable on a hot august afternoon. It was amazing the difference a few hours make, as returning later (after six) the place was packed and the food truck slammed with order... the cook working solo In the food truck was doing an amazing job of getting food out to a very big crowd. Coming up to order, he was very honest in saying, please come back to order in 10 minutes, so I can catch up, and it still could be an hour wait for food. No worries, as the burger was well worth the wait, and besides it gave me more time to enjoy some more of their great beers, which I did. Lol. Since the patio and small downstairs area was packed, it was great to discover their upstairs area, which was pretty much empty, which made for a little more chilling atmosphere, more posters and art work, along with windows looking down to where the magic is made and windows over looking the covered and open space seating below. It was great to relax after the event, with their green River IPA, another delicious beer with a great hoppy taste to it, very enjoyable while waiting for the smash burger. A great selection of rock music playing the whole time. Thankfully, it didn't take an hour to get the call on the burger being ready, as I was coming up to pick up the order, I noticed the sold out sign, grateful to make it before that, and hats off to the cook, ready to rest after hopping it all afternoon. The burger was delicious! The mixture of ground chuck, brisket and sweet onion with cheese made for a juicy double burger, which I enjoyed quickly and thoroughly, going well with another Green River, the burger was cooked just right, plenty juicy, cheesy, and smashed to extent outside the bun all around, plenty of beef, for sure. The Jojo's which is another name for wedge cut potatoes were excellent as well, crispy on the outside, tender and tasty on the inside, add in their own special ketchup and fry sauce.. very yummy! Another nice touch was the stamped 'I made this for you' on the fry bag. A side note.. the food truck is called Farmboy Burgers, open Wednesdays -Sundays. A great stop in the west Seattle area. Many to go options as well, worth the drive to the west side. Yelping on, God bless and Cheers! read more

What a great brewery addition to the Seattle area! I went to the Future Primitve's tasting room right around when it first opened. When I went to the tasting room I had their Table Beer, called The Little One as well as the Tunnel Vision Porter. Both beers proved to be excellent! They were very refreshing and the beer recipes involved here make for very memorable beers in which makes me want to keep going back! A little while after my visit to the taproom Steve and I went to Edison's in Tacoma and in which he got the Black River Oatmeal Stout by this brewery. That was an excellent beer as well! I was tempted to order one for myself! I look forward to enjoying more of Future Primitive's beer options as well as what ever they may have in store for us in the future! read more

Future Primitive Brewing - Refreshing and delicious beer at Future Primitive! - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has some delicious beer! We brought some family here (visiting from out of town) and had a great time. I love that it is kid friendly too! The smash burger and tots were a perfect pairing with my beer. read more

Good beer, nice server, good reasonably priced food truck, funky industrial facility. We'll return.

Love this brewery! For one thing, I loved every beer I tried. For another thing, this place has character. You have to love a brewery who uses names like Thunder Pussy (a band) and Nazi Punks Fuck Off. They also have hard cider. They have a great set up with outdoor seating and food truck available with some pretty good food. It's in the area between Highland Park and White Center that's getting some life breathed back into it from businesses such as this. It's a very easy, comfortable spot to sit for a couple of hours. read more

This is a great place to visit if you want to get out for a beer and food outdoors during Covid - or even once this damn Covid thing is over! They have outdoor seating with cover in case it rains (I mean, WHEN it rains!) and seat heaters, with plenty of space between tables. They have a great beer selection for almost any type of beer or wine drinker: IPA, Hazy's, Bourbon barrel aged beers, wine and many others. They also offer beer to go. It's dog friendly and they have food trucks so this is a good "one-stop shop" if you want to get out and help out a small business. read more

Stopped by on the way back from an OL Reign game. Daniel, our bartender, was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the beers. I'm a big beer nerd and am happy that Daniel was willing to chat with me about their brews. Everything I tried was super tasty. They have a nice range of lighter beers and bolder ones. Their patio was comfortable and expansive. I love their logos and art. Note that the food cart runs out of food sometimes so be aware if you have a hankering! read more

We came to Future Primitive on the suggestion of Adam at Stoup brewing. I am so glad we did. I am not a beer drinker but I tried the pomegranate cider and it was good. My wife had the "Nazi punks fuck off" "Thunder Pussy" and Kingdom Kolsch" She loved them so much that we bought three 4 packs to bring back to Texas. Kevin and James were amazing and talked with us for over an our. We felt like we were visiting with old friends. We had dinner plans that day but if we hadn't we would have stayed for the awesome burgers that were being prepared on the patio. Please come and try this place out and buy all the beers! you will not regret it. read more

I've only been here two times after work with my coworkers and there has always been a good selection of beers. This brewery allowed dogs and children which make it pretty inclusive! There is outside seating with wonderful twinkly lights, an inside section, upstairs, and the brewery portion that you can see through their windows. The upstairs portion even had a children's hard to play with. Breweries always have this cold vibe feeling with wooden tables and chart, and I wish it felt cozier. I appreciate how the outside area is enclosed during the colder months and how it's opened in the hot months. I do love how Nathan (aka NathanBeard) was personal and talkative. Service was good and didn't feel uppity or bougie. Tasters are welcomed! It's a nice low key and chill vibe in this neighborhood, good spot for a local hang out. read more

Some asshole in the media wrote that IPAs give you man boobs. I hate our POTUS, but to borrow a term from that POS, "FAKE NEWS." Meh, maybe it is true. Idk, I'm not that smart, and with the amount of booze I've drank over my life its a miracle I don't have brain damage (although, to be fair, some women might say otherwise). And, with the amount of IPAs I've drank over the last ten years I should be rocking a bra if the aforementioned is true. Regardless, if my bosom does expand I'll be the first to start a support group for us AT this brewery. I heard about this joint a few months ago while talking to a dude at Cloudburst (real recognize real) who lives in White Center. He mentioned it had just opened up, but it skipped my mind as drinking IPAs can cause you to do that. Then, last week I was tipping a few back at Elysian in Georgetown, and my friend who bartends there mentioned a brewer who used to work there had opened up Future Primitive. Isn't this some riveting cycle of life shit? Having my memory jogged, I ventured out to to finally try the new brewery. Its a block off the main White Center strip on a side road. There's parking on the street, and it wasn't too packed on this Saturday afternoon. There's two levels to the spot, and pretty cozy. There's about a dozen seats at the small bar (with a view of the brewing area), and they have a island bar top that seats 4. They have an area upstairs, but I didn't venture up (who wants to climb a flight of stairs while drinking). There's also a covered outdoor patio with heaters, benches, and tables that seats about two dozen. After a quick scan of the beer menu for IPAs (think there was about 8 beers on tap), I chose the Pep Talk IPA, and on the subsequent pint the Hubcap Double IPA. Sometimes you have to start off with a standard before you get into the doubles. Its like warming up your liver. Liver, I hope you appreciate that, and thanks for keeping my body good from all this sweet poison I'm consuming. Both IPAs were excellent. I wish I had more insight, but I'm not one of those sniff the wine cork types. Well, its too late in the game to quit IPA life, so I'm just going to have to let Future Primitive contribute to the eventual. You should do the same, cause the beer is great. And, if you see me out there, let me know if the chest is looking brolic or not. Salute! read more

This is a solid establishment. Not a huge range of beer choices, but they seem to do what they do well! Pros? Friendly staff The three beers we tried were all very drinkable Parking is easy, albeit on the street The outdoor seating area has a lot of cover from sun or rain, and there's plenty of it Clean restrooms Cons? Uhhh well, white center is still white center to me... I don't go out of my way to go there and whenever I do I end up with a condom stuck to the bottom of my shoe (or something else odd happening).... We're not huge IPA fans and their menu was definitely IPA heavy (which might be a pro for you!) read more

Grabbed taqueria la fundita and headed here with some friends. It wasn't crowded, which was a welcome change as opposed to our normal ballard destinations where you can never find a spot to sit. All four of us REALLY enjoyed our beers and couldn't stop talking about coming back. Beers we enjoyed: Pleased to Meet You Pale Make Oat Party Pale Oatmeal Stout Table Beer Can't wait to try others. read more

Great brewery in the neighborhood. Good variety of beer styles, you got to try the Witch Ripper while it's still available. They also offer a few hard seltzers, slushies with or without alcohol, and a few N/A beers in cans. It's got a food truck attached that rotates businesses. Either Farm Boy smash burgers or Lenox Afro Cuban cuisine. The potatoes from Lenox are amazing. A must try if your in the area. They also have a run club every other Sunday leaving at 12:45. You run about 3 miles and get a $1off your beers when you get back. Come join us! read more

I liked this brewery a lot. If you were familiar with Big Al's, this new brewery is in that location. I like the decor and they also have an outdoor area and a large upstairs space. They are also kid friendly. I had the Oat pale which was a nice beer, a little on the hoppy side. It was a good stop, I would definitely recommend it! read more

Future Primitive Brewing - Make oat party pale - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Loved it here! Owner is really nice! Great beer, lovely people. Nice food truck too, awesome burger

Incredibly rude. Very loud outdoor music for 1pm on a Saturday. I went inside to order and the music on the inside speakers was pretty quiet. I asked the bartender if outside could be turned down a smidge (in case he didn't know). His response was, "I could, but I won't." He couldn't be bothered to say "let me go check." Not sure why his personal sound preference is quiet for himself inside and then blasting for families outdoor. There were seven babies outside at different tables too, in case their hearing matters... seemed like he wanted to discourage families but then I see on this yelp page that it's toted as family-friendly. Bartender is out of touch of who their clientele is for that day/time. read more

Good beer; good vibes; dogs allowed inside. There's really not much else you need to know! Bones Brigade ftw. read more

This place is awesome. Great service, almost always has a good food truck pulled right up to the patio. Very dog friendly. Lots of great outdoor spaces much of which is covered. read more

What a gem on the Alki waterfront. Love the beer, ambiance, food and service. While I mess the West Seattle Brewery these new operators are fantastic. Updated the furniture and outdoor seating - no better place to people watch and enjoy a freshly drafted beer. Wonderful! Highly recommend! read more

Great beer and atmosphere. They have a really great set-up for COVID and ready for the rainy months ahead. They allow dogs too!

Outstanding brewery! Delicious beers, witty and engaging staff, family friendly atmosphere and tasty food to boot! I highly recommend trying Future Primitive! read more

Popped in to give future primitive a try and was pleased. Unlike most Seattle breweries, ofnthe ten taps only 4 are IPAs which means they are actually experimenting and producing interesting beers. The zwickl lager was my favorite. Good industrial, punk rock vibe. Great spot to spend some time while in White Center. Next time I will grab take out from Birreria Tijuana and then enjoy with a Future Primitive brew or three read more

Loved stopping here! Dog friendly and covered patios. The owners and staff were the best and so kind. I love that their food cart rotates with different food. They are close to different take outs. The beer is stellar. We will be back for sure! read more

I love FP brewing! They are family friendly, dog friendly, have great beer and some of the nicest people around. They have done a wonderful job creating a safe space to share a pint during these COVID times. Bonus: They have a new covered patio and cozy heaters to keep you dry and warm. Check them out and support small business! read more

We love coming here! They have an awesome outdoor area and are dog-friendly. They serve about 20 different types of beer with a good variety, and the staff is always friendly and brings out water and treats for the dogs. Definitely a great local spot! read more

It feels like I was waiting forever for Future Primitive to finally open, but it was well worth the wait. I went there the first night and have been back a few times already. The space is busy, but comfortable, and offers an awesome view of the brewing area for those who want a bit of a behind-the-scene view. But most importantly, the beer is fantastic. Thus far, the Green River IPA and the Don't Tell Rob are my favorites, but I've tried most of their taps and you can't go wrong with any of them. And if you want to nerd out about what you're drinking, there will be someone nearby to oblige. A welcome addition to the neighborhood and fills the void left when Big Al's closed. read more

Great place! SO good, support them! Food is available now too, really good food.... Great venue, I will be back over and over as the weather gets better. read more

Great place to have a beer! Super laid back and dog friendly! Great selection and good service every time I go

The beer is GREAT, food truck is also amazing. The staff is friendly and the outdoor space is clutch with the heat lamps. We brought both of our kids - it was a great family night out. Corn hole was a hit with my two year old! Will definitely be back with the fam or for a growler. read more

Customer service was sub par. The bartender was lackadaisical and never greeted us. When I engaged him his responses were minimal effort at best. The beer was good which is why they get three stars. I would come back, but hope someone else is serving. Kinda strange a new business would put some that isn't attentive to customers at the front bar. read more

Great little addition to White Center. Beers are great and the staff is awesome. Food truck outside or bring your own food!
