    They were open today, 24 December. That is two stars right there. Between friends catching up before they head out for a few weeks, and those who either don't celebrate Christmas or have little family, it was nice to sit, mingle and enjoy a beer and the po'boy truck outside. Thank you, Stoup for being open! This spacious brewery has plenty of beer hall style seating. I enjoyed a delicious porter. It was full bodied and tasty. My husband's non alcoholic raspberry Italian soda was the real winner! It was the best I've ever tasted. Outside food is welcomed, no kitchen here. There are games, for those who are interested. Music also plays overhead. Lots of space and grace to hang out here. This is just what Cap Hill kisses First Hill needed. It should be on your Saturday hang out must do list! See website for more details. Parking on street.

    Good beer hall! They had a few ciders and cocktails as well and I'm pretty sure you can bring your own food in. Great place to catch up with friends and have large groups. You can also try before you get any of the beers. The bartender was friendly and let us sample before we chose. I got the Yonder something and loved it (fruity and not too tart).

    Went here for a after work meet up. A pizza party if you will but it was fun, unlike at work "Pizza parties" This Stoup as a nice open concept compared to the Ballard location. I kind of like that about here at the Capitol Hill spot as it's easier to move around, get water go for more drinks etc. The tables are large and it was no problem as about 20 people from my company showed up and it looked like various other groups were doing something similar. Beyond this it's Stoup. With an array of IPas. Only thing dropping a star were the pourer's at this location just seemed low energy. The ones in Ballard seem more friendly and eager to pour some pints.

    Came here for a "welcome event" for a wedding, and boy did Stoup Brewing blow it out of the water!! A few different points to make: - The staff and servers were excellent. They moved quickly with a large party, yet still could find that balance of being professional, kind, warm, and helpful! - They allowed us to bring in our own food, woo-hoo! - The options for drinks for this event was absolutely wonderful; of course I'm not sure how the hosts chose it/how much they paid, but we had an open bar and could get anything on tap - an awesome option for those who may want to host something here - The space they reserved for us was gorgeous! Although I don't live in Seattle, I'd be happy to return to this venue whenever I'm in town. Definitely stop by and check this place out!!!

    Really chill place with your typical walk up counter. A lot of seating available and a kids play area. A few of my beers tasted like just beer and not as strongly the flavor profile listed. Still enjoyed our time and my drink.

    Great service. She gave us a few unrequested tastes which was nice. Rays of our lives was good.

    Came here to meet up with a few friends and grab some drinks. The one thing we heard about this place before coming was that you can bring your own food so we stop by to grab some burgers and fries next-door before coming in. We were planning to grab food from the chicken truck out front but when we got there, they were sold out so I was a bit unfortunate because we were really looking forward to it. But AnyWho, we got in line and all ordered our drinks and were luckily able to find a table for our big group. It was a good time and the ambience is really nice. There's a lot of big groups so also something to know as well.

    What a cool place to hang out. Massive brewery with lots of options. They are nice to let you take food from outside. And they are kid friendly - they actually have an area designated for the kids which is awesome! Bathrooms and clean and staff is friendly. We ended up ordering food from the yummy tummy Thai food truck outside and it was delish! Great place for group hangouts. Yes it does get loud though.

    I was shocked, I drove there just to buy their summer beer. I Parked and ran to the brewery. I bought 8 beers and the total was $39.72 for cans to go. So LAME! Most breweries the beer is cheaper than a grocery store, not this place, the beer cans to go cost more. I will never go back.

    Love coming here every Monday for 7:30 PM trivia! The tropical beer slushie is always fun and delicious, but always love the ciders as well.

    Attended a happy hour event here as part of a conference I attended. Ordered the stout after sampling the porter and stout, and LOVED it! The space has plenty of space to spread out! There are A LOT of IPAs on the menu, so if that isn't your thing there won't be a ton of other options.

    The Robust Porter!

    So glad to see Stoup Brewing get a location in Capitol Hill! I usually could only go to their taproom in Ballard. This location is where Optimism Brewing used to be. I have paid two different visits here before sitting down and writing a review. I knew the beer would be good so no question there prior to the visits. Out of the two outings I have had three different beers of theirs here. Going off of those two outings here I tended to like the dark beers better. The three beers I had was the Cervecita Mexican Lager. Probably not my most favorite of this type of lager but J am very picky with Mexican Lagers. Flavor highlights with this beer were a breadiness, and crispness. The Export Stout was another beer I had and this one I really liked. Nice and dark the flavor features with this stout is coffee, a roasty flavor and a well balanced sweetness. On the other visit I had the Robust Porter. Again similar flavor features as the stout with coffee and roastiness but also rich and a perfect beer to have had on the rainy day that we were out and about! On one of those visits I had to buy a Misfits inspired hop t shirt which I was thrilled to get from the brewery! It's all about the swag!

    It was exciting that they carried a "sour" - not most places do and it's my preferred drink. Low stars was for super rude service from not just one worker but both workers serving- sorry we came in to spend money...jeez..

    Before Monday night trivia!

    What is the kid area like?

    There is no designated kid area. There are lower tables, picnic tables and four tops, that kids can sit at with their adult. When the weather is nice, there is also an outdoor area. The upstairs area is for private events.

All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

The beers arrived promptly, and everything we tried was delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their selection, which makes me think it would be hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. We also shared an order of truffle fries, which were a great snack to go along with the drinks. An added bonus is that the entire restaurant is gluten-free, which is a huge plus for those with dietary restrictions or sensitivities. Pricing felt fair, the service was excellent, and overall it was an enjoyable stop. I'd happily return to try more of their beers in the future.

They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious.

Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.

The building looked open and inviting, especially the back patio surrounded by flower bushes, so we stopped here for a beer. The space is so pleasant, both inside and out. Big windows, high ceiling, and then outside were tables with little fire pits- we sat at one of those but didn't need the fire since it was daytime and quite warm out! The beer menu has some unique choices, two of which we picked. My husband asked if the roasted pepper IPA was more like a roasted bell pepper or hot pepper, and the server said she felt it was more of a spicy pepper. She said she could offer him a taste to try it first, but my husband basically said, "Nah, I'll just go all in!" ... no regrets- he really enjoyed it! I was intrigued by the orange blossom honey braggot... I had no idea what braggot was. The server said it was something like a cross between a beer and mead. SOLD! Immediately ordered that thang. Ohhh it was delicious!! We simply stopped for one beer each and it was a shorter visit, but we really enjoyed our time. My only complaints are that the beer is on the pricier side, and there was something like a 20% automatic service charge (it was stated on a sign at the table so it wasn't a surprise). Although, I've been seeing that the owner from Perihelion has been responding to reviews here stating that due to complaints about this charge, they have gone back to normal tipping. If so, I think it's great that they listened to their customers. They may want to update their website to communicate that same message as well. I don't come to Beacon Hill often, but if I'm ever in the area, I will definitely return to Perihelion and maybe even try some of their food!
