We used to frequent this spot when it was still Cairn before it was bought by Postdoc. It was always such a fun time and we came back yesterday and honestly... the only thing that has changed is the beer options. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine like we used to, while enjoying some great beer. It did great pretty busy (probably because we were there on the first sunny & warm Friday afternoon all year) so the lines to get beer got long at times but honestly... it was so worth it. Great brewery experience and still my favorite spot.

"Bierstachein" in action

My husband and I found Postdoc brewing in Redmond during the pandemic - we loved the name, the beers, the people and the ambience. We were overjoyed when they opened a site in Kenmore which is much closer to our house. Equally awesome staff, draft beer list and ambience. Such a happy place...we love coming here! We stopped by today and were happily surprised to find out that they're doing special "Bierstachein". Never heard of the idea but it's so cool and fun. And for all the works, they only charge $3 per glass. What a deal! They're also celebrating their anniversaries and we got free glasses - so great that they appreciate their customers. This is a place that puts the biggest smiles on our faces.

R.I.P. Cairn One of our favorite gathering places with some of the most delicious beer. I always looked forward to sampling the latest version of Hoptraverse, my wife loved Sippy Cup, and the Golden Anbessa is one of the best beers I've ever had. The people were always so kind and helpful, and being located right on the Burke-Gilman made for a lively environment. Thanks for the memories, Cairn. - J & K

Menu (August 2022)

I came by to grab a drink with a coworker who recommended this place. They have a large space that includes both indoor and outdoor seating. There are picnic tables and couch seats inside that face the TVs so people can watch sports games. Outside there are patio tables covered by tarps. There are very few parking spots right out front but there is street parking a block away where you can park and walk over. All their beers are brewed in-house and their ciders come from Soundbite Cider in Everett. I ordered the thor's hammer ($6.50) which was very creamy and chocolate-y. If you want you can also order flights that consist of four 4oz pours of $2-3 each. They don't have free samplers but instead it's a $1 donation to a charity. When I came here a lot of people were on their laptops because there is free wifi so it's a good place to get some work done too. They have food trucks parked on-site so you don't need to go too far for food. This is a nice place to relax and grab some drinks.

Great place for a summer beer! They have a big outdoor area that is mostly shaded in the afternoon with lots of seating and it's not over crowded with chairs. The servers were all really friendly when they were pouring the beer or walking around clearing glasses. Definitely a really friendly place to hangout and have a beer. Tuesday at 7pm is their trivia night. If you have a big group, you should come an hour early to reserve your seats but if you have a smaller group, 30 minutes early should be fine.

Thor's Hammer oatmeal stout and Here Comes the Sun pale ale.

My first time here, taking part in the Eastside Beer Week bike tour. Although I've learned the hard way that hydrating with beer when cycling doesn't work out well for me, I still had to try two 5 oz pours and was so happy that I did. The hazy pale ale and the oatmeal stout made for such a counterpoint of flavors, aromas and textures - it was really quite an experience. I will definitely stop by again!

Oh my, I like it here! The vibe is so fun and the people that work here so nice! They offer amazing beer and if you have friends with you that prefer wine or cider, they have that too! There is a large indoor area and a nice outdoor area so you can pick your place to gather with friends. I will be back soon. I had a great time.

Great service and very friendly people. They do have chips and nuts to buy on site. There's a good amount of beer to choose from. I chose the blood orange cider, which was very good. Ambience is very dark wood colored and homey. Would definitely be back and there's parking!

Some comfortable options and a family restroom.

I've been here a few times since this opened. I like the close proximity to both biking on the Burke-Gilman and water activities at Squire's landing park. We like to reward physical exertion with beer afterwards. This brewery is conveniently located next to two others which adds to the greatness of the spot. Parking can be a bit tough on a busy day due to this. The brewery itself is large with lots of places to sit, including an outdoor patio area and a few coach areas. Snacks are available for sale regularly and local delivery options are posted on the wall. If you are lucky you will come on a food truck night and get to try something nice. I have been trying to come on an Alaskan Dumpling night for weeks now. Like most breweries these days this one allows dogs and children. There is a family bathroom which has a smaller sink for children to wash up in. On a recent visit many children did not seem to be very well supervised and in fact I was concerned they may knock over my beer and this would have upset me. I did appreciate that the bathroom recommended the use of the blowers vs the paper towels. It can be quite loud in here.

Bike entrance off the Burke Gilman!

Looked like a great place with 5 parking places. We drove around twice and couldn't get close. Better accommodations for parking are needed.

Excellent Tuesday night trivia, great beer selection and a variety of NA and non-beer choices for folks who'd prefer something else.

This is my local neighborhood brewery, sometimes I walk here, but mostly I drive. I appreciate the…read moreparking lot which always seems to have space. It's great that you can enter and leave thru the garage. Parking is timed, but it usually seems to be the right amount of time, if not there is some street parking available. Inside is large and welcoming, there are a few bar type seats. There are multiple bathrooms which I always appreciate in a brewery. I miss the days of the local food trucks, but you can bring food or order from a place next door most days. This is a great place to meet up with others or have a regularly scheduled meet up, they are so accommodating and helpful. My book club meets here currently. It's great because we are able to get a section reserved ahead of time, its away from the TVs and never so loud that we have trouble hearing each other. They are also open every day and have later hours than a lot of breweries seem to have these days. They have multiple beers on tap, always something new and are happy to offer tastes if you have trouble deciding. If you don't drink beer there are ciders, wine and root beer as well. I've tried tons of things, they are all tasty. I have a 5th anniversary Belgian Triple Crowler in my fridge right now. Everyone who works here is super nice and the vibe is always chill. There's trivia on Tuesdays at 7, but I have yet to check this out. It's dog friendly, currently with a dedicated posting area for pics of the brewery dogs that come to visit. In good weather it's great to sit outside. If you are so inclined this is walking distance from the newly opened light rail station. Check it out.

The service is so friendly and chill, as well as knowledgeable, and will let you sample beers before committing to one. It is very family friendly with a bunch of games too which is great!

We got the Atlantic salmon BLT sandwich and the piece of salmon was huge. The paella was delicious and I highly recommend it. The service was good as well. My only complaints are the restaurant was really cold and people were putting coats on inside. Also $30 for the paella is way too much for the size of the dish. It's tiny. They should add more rice and a larger dish.

Would have been 5 but the bread pudding was horrible? More on that later…read more I came here tonight to escape the state of the Union bs. I was greeted by the most sweet waitress ever. I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I ordered a Rue Old Fashioned and it was perfectly blended and tasty. I wanted lite so ordered the Coronation salad and it was so good, just the right an out of chicken thighs grapes, cranberries and shaved almonds and the smooth curry dressing was so delicious. It was so perfect and I'll Definitely order it again. Then, I ordered the bread pudding to go. It came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream with some caramel sauce. However, the bread pudding itself was close to in edible. It must have been made weeks ago and was so dry it almost required a jackhammer to break apart. I was so disappointed and ended up throwing most of it out. This place is less than a block away and I've never had a bad meal there and I highly recommend it. But recommend passing on the bread pudding unless you want something to throw at an ICE agent. 2/2822026 -amendment-I stopped here again for lunch. There were two occupied tables and the rest of the place was empty except for staff. A server came by and said "I'll be right back with you". I waited 15 minutes and not one showed up. I won't go back changing my rating to -1
