This place is a perfect brewery!! Tons of beers on tap, very friendly beertenders, and lots of variety. The beertenders were quick and attentive. Especially when they became very busy for about an hour. They had a great system of calling out beers, pouring, and running the register. Spout is in a warehouse with a huge garage door that opens to the street. They had a taco truck visiting and the ambiance was just perfect. I'd go back and I highly recommend them! read more

I've been coming here a bit more often recently since it's my girl friend's and my little meeting spot since COVID. They are doing an excellent job with social distancing and making their customers feel safe. There's lots of outdoor seating and sectioned off areas on both the first and second floor. Parties of 5 or less can be seated together and you receive a card that you flip over when you leave so that they know the area needs to be sanitized. There are also arrows on the floor so you know which direction to walk in so that you don't bump into anyone. The beer is great. They have a good amount of options for everyone, but the German Pilsner is my favorite! The staff are always friendly and helpful when you need drink recommendations. They also have a fire pit! That's our favorite part! read more

Great place to meet up with friends and hold events. Service is great and atmosphere is fun. Usually pretty busy in the weekends!

Had been a bit of time since I went to Stoup and I love all the cool areas to sit that they have created since my last visit. Great beer garden, upstairs area with a deck and there main tasting room. The main tasting room has 21 beers on tap, while the other two areas have 4. Beer can be purchased to the main tasting room and brought out to the beer garden so you can find your fav. Food trucks rotate and beer selection great! I liked it! We will be back again. read more

We popped into here after hitting Reuben's. I love the cute patio area but wandered upstairs to find a pretty awesome spot that overlooks the patio. The stoop at the Stoup, if you will. It's a good spot to people watch. I enjoyed the mosaic pale ale that I had - The hubs got something else that he liked as well. If we had more time, I would have liked to sit here and make a nice afternoon of it. Such a great little place. They are also kid and dog friendly from what I can tell. read more

Great COVID precautions in place. The staff was great at keeping the flow of people where it needs to be. It was freezing out but we were fine in our private tented area. Was able to try 6 beers through a flight and loved them all. Can't wait to go back when it's warm out! Went home with cans! There was a food truck that looked great but wasn't there to eat. Overall a great place to go to! read more

We came to Stoup after receiving multiple recommendations from Locals and I am glad we came here. The locations is good. It took us about 15 minutes from Downtown to get here. The brewery is beautiful. The staff is friendly. And OH Boy, what can I say about the beer. It's definitely a beer heaven. I sampled their IPA's, they all tasted all pretty good, but my favorite is their Good as hell Hazy. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Attended a catered wedding banquet here in the upstairs dining area and loved drinking essentially every beer they offer in that lovely all-day pre-Pandemic event. It's a wonderful venue, and I'd gladly spend another day drinking there sometime. read more

Visited Stoup for the first time and really enjoyed it. My friend and I brought my dog to enjoy some beer on the patio, and ended up both ordering the Space Garden IPA. It was definitely busy on a Saturday afternoon, so I wish the tables were a little more spread apart but I still felt comfortable with the environment. I didn't have as much time to stay as I'd hoped so will definitely return to try some of their other beers. read more

Stoup Brewing - Space Garden Hazy IPA - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stoup Brewing is one of our favorite Ballard breweries. They consistently have a large selection of delicious beers and a food truck outside. They have great spaces both inside and upstairs. Upstairs is 21+ only except for the bathrooms which is nice if you're looking for a kid free experience. Where I think they really shine though is the outside space. Plenty of varied seating options for both 1-2 people and groups of 10 or more. An awesome fire pit makes those chilly fall evenings a perfect experience. Much of the seating is covered too. Like most breweries in the area it's street parking only, but they do have a great bike rack which can accommodate those bigger e-bikes with all the accessories. They're also really great with kids and there's plenty of soda and juice options to treat the little ones. If you're looking for a brewery in Ballard, Stoup really should be on your list! read more

Best beer I tried in Ballard. Friendly beer tender shared her insight and explained the menu. Diverse beer styles guaranteed to satisfy everyone in your group. Plenty of outdoor seating and heaters. Dog friendly. Food trucks set-up if you get hungry. read more

I've now been here 2 other times and have changed my opinion on Stoup Brewing. I have had a few beers from them that I have enjoyed from IPAs to Pale Ales and even a Winter Ale. I do like how the service here has always been very nice and that it is dog-friendly downstairs. I also like their addition of the meat and cheese vending machine. It definitely makes for a great snack. read more

We had an event there for 25 people, and it was great. The signage was up when I got there, the service was good, and the price was affordable and in our budget. The space we had was outside and was partly covered, which was good since it was 95 degrees the day we were there. The beer and food truck was also solid. read more

Grungy garage atmosphere with lots of great artistic visuals everywhere. Strange that most of their beers didn't actually have names. Most were simply and concisely listed by style with ABV, IBU, SRM and prices for pours following that. Tap list wasn't as impressive, but most styles offered leaned towards bitter and hoppy. Order your tasters a la carte. We still opted for 5 of the most interesting sounding beers. Most tasters are $2, some $3. Worthwhile beers: Citra IPA, Mosaic Pale (although thin), Bag O' Tricks DIPA Enjoyed the atmosphere well enough to give it 4-stars, but really closer to 3.7. Taster flight was pretty unique; it was a mustache. read more

Spent a good few hours here hanging out on the upstairs patio. Beautiful view, nice cider and beer and relaxed atmosphere. I loved looking out at the sun setting, the huge fire pit below. Heaps to choose from and big venue to explore. I lived in Melbourne for 6 years and this place had a Melbs vibe. Awesome! read more

Great place to grab beer and spend quality time with friends. Very open, with plenty of seats inside and a nice outdoor area. Very dog friendly too! Staff was very helpful when we were unsure of what to order. Low key and quiet spot with plenty of parking. They also have a meat and cheese vending machine. I've never seen one before ever and I'm sure it comes in handy. Tried the citra IPA and the hefeweizen. Both very good, familiar flavors. They offer 5oz tasters, or 12oz, 16oz, 32oz, and 64oz glasses. read more

Good time here! Deceivingly spacious brewery with an up and downstairs section. They're one of the more popular local brewers around town, as you can find their beers on the menu in several restaurants (such as 8oz Burger). We were on our own personal hopping tour around this microbrewery district, so in an effort to ensure I'd be able to physically make it to the next stop, I only tried one beer, lol, which was their Citra IPA, and it was A1. What I also really liked about here was the different sizes they offered for purchase of beer. You had your standard 16, but there was 12oz and small 5oz taster sizes. I'm used to being able to buy 5oz in a set as a flight, but it was nice being able to buy it individually for any flavor. And it was super cheap with most being $2! All the beer was very reasonable actually. My Seattle friends raved about this brewery the most, so it's a local fave! read more

This is hands down the best brewery in Seattle. Family owned, science- based beer with a foodie twist, it seriously is the best new beer in my life. There is a great outdoor patio, big open indoor space, wifi, projector for sports and they even have a running crew that gets together every weekend. Their Citra IPA gets a lot of love locally, but there is a beer or cider for everyone. Get a flight if you're trying to find your way. Check their website for the daily foodtruck that will swing through. Mostly - go support this incredible locally owned business. They're the best in the game. read more

Stoup Hefeweizen is probably my most fav hef in PNW! I usually end up ordering one in bars around Seattle, but somehow I had not been to the Stoup brewing location. Yesterday I came here with my cousin who was visiting, and I am so glad I did. He absolutely loved the beer. You order at the counter and then go find a spot to sit. Both - upstairs deck and patio garden are amazing! Patio is easy to miss, so ask when you order to be sure. We chose the upstairs, which has barrel shaped bar tables and stools. It also also has its own small bar so you don't have to walk up and down. It's a great spot in summer. It's kid friendly and great for large groups. All of breweries in Ballard have a food truck parked next to them. You can buy some food and have it with your beer in the brewery! Obec and Ruben are in the same block so you can easily brewery-hop in the area! read more

Very nice brewery. Great beer. Loved all the stickers on the wall. Server was great at recommending beer.

This brewery has elevated my microbrew experience. Fortunately Stoup is just a mile away from home, close to gym and my grocery store. That's why I have no excuse not to frequent Stoup for weekly brews, seasonal specials and simply a great beer. Through pandemic Stoup has adapted well and enforce safety precautions. Growler a week is not a bad way to go either. Friendly and courteous staff adds a to my positive experiences while frequenting here. Go explore Brews at Stoup read more

The bathroom said Vacant so i tried to open it. Even want so far as to "take a running start." Brick wall. Anywho, I almost walked in on some guy emptying his clip into the toilet. Great beer, but I wish they fixed the bathroom door. read more

Stoup is a laid back local brewery spot with solid microbrews. If you like IPA variety they usually have 7-10 different ipa options. They do offer pilsners, pale ales and other beer types as well. This occasion and pictured is their German Pilsner which is light, crisp and very drinkable. The downstairs is very open, think large cool hipster garage, turned brewery. You can often see the brewers at work just behind the seating and tap area which is cool. The upstairs has a nice 'Stoup' and is more private and can host events. No food is served in the location but they occasionally have food trucks for events and busier weekend business hours. Cheers! read more

I really enjoyed this brewery! They had tons of options, I got the hazy IPA and it was delicious. They have a huge outside area and two story indoor area. Very accommodating space. They had a food truck outside that was very popular. It's in a kind of neighborhood area, so very easy street parking around. Definitely coming back soon. Dog friendly! read more

Loved the beers on tap and the space! They did a "residency " for DESC, a Seattle non profit that I LOVE...well done for supporting a local cause! read more

I haven't been to Stoup since COVID restrictions but they've done a really nice job spacing out areas to accommodate social distancing. I loved sitting by the fire pit while sipping on some of the hoppiest beers in the city. Feeling hungry while sipping? Do not worry, they usually have food trucks parked right out front - check out Stoups website as they link the food trucks that will be there that week. Stop reading this review and treat yourself to some delicious brews outside! read more

Totally changed from the early days as the concentration of breweries in this locale has increased whilst the density of hipsters and millennials as increased x-fold in Ballard. The beer diversity here is more toward IPA where in before was Belgian and more European. There's more of a crowded hipster / tourist vibe going on so no relaxing going on in the weekends. The TV is the size of a laptop so the quality of sports and Olympic coverage just sucks here. The big draw to me is I have a seat at the bar and can just lay back and have guys lean over my shoulder saying, "Can I have a napkin!". Then come back screaming, "Hey You, can I have a napkin!". Then, finally "Can I have more napkins". Crazy the guy broke a glass on the floor, F&&$-in millennials. read more

I can see why the reviews are very good for this brewery. It's a really cool spot and set up. There is also a food truck right in front of the brewery. They offer a lot more seating than its neighbor, Reuben's brews, and when I visited they had a huge projector/screen, showing World Cup semi finals game (and this place was packed). Three star rating isn't bad by any means but it's a bit unfortunate because if their beers were even slightly better, I would have easily given a 4. I got some tasters so I got to try a few of their offerings and they were all... just meh. Not terrible but not good. Their IPA was probably the most disappointing for me because it had some off flavors in it. To summarize, - Cool spot, cool people, cool vibe - So-so beers - Yes outdoor seatings - Yes they offer tasters - Yes they fill growlers - Yes credit cards are accepted read more

Quite a few hazy options As well as German style options Really efficient for the size of the lines Food truck outside Variety of seating Meat and cheese vending machine!

I decided to visit Stoup Brewing after learning it was owned by a Cicerone, which is the beer equivalent training of a Sommelier. I was pleased when I arrived seeing it was an open concept brewpub with large doors, a food truck in front, and no division between the brewery and the tap handles. Nestled just north of Seattle, the setting was beautiful on a Summer day. I tried the Baltic Porter first, which is an European Lager derived from the famous British styled Ale. The goal of a Baltic Porter is to combine roast, coffee flavors with smooth lager fermentation character, along with high alcohol content. The Stoup Baltic Porter was delicious. Stoup only sells this beer in smaller ounce pours--probably because of the cost of brewing or because of the alcohol content. Nevertheless, it is well worth trying. The second beer I tried was the Lupúlo Pale Ale, which is an American Pale Ale brewed with native hops from New Mexico. It was delightful. The beer was dry, balanced between bitterness and sweetness, and bursting with hop flavor. The hop aroma and flavor reminded me of mango, cotton candy, and tropical fruit. It was one of the best beers I have tasted in a long time. Stoup is a great new brewery and I hope they eventually distribute beyond their pub. A visit to Stoup is well worth your time if you love good beer. read more

I really wanted to like this place. We are moving back to Kenmore, a veritable restaurant desert, and I was excited to see that Stoup had arrived. Sadly, we will not be returning. The service was great, the beer delicious. But. The. Food! Overpriced and not good. Two burgers, a rootbeer float and a beer cost $68 with tip and the burgers were horrible. Presentation and the fries were nice but the burger was small with a thin patty that was burned to shoe leather. Both burgers arrived the same way so I have to believe that this is just how they serve them. (no, we didn't complain - it was not inedible - it was just not good). Also, we paid $11 for a root beer float and it was fine, but just fine. For $11, I expected something large enough to share. Sorry, Stoup. Maybe we'll try something else on the menu if we have need of a large TV for a sporting event but you will sadly not be our "regular restaurant". We can get a far better burger and a far bigger root beer float at Kidd Valley for half the price. read more

Great spot with great service!! My sister and brother in law are regulars here so I had to check out this spot while in town. I personally don't drink beers but tried their sour beer and thought it was good! My bf and brother in law are huge beer drinkers and really enjoyed their beers! The ambiance is unique and looks like an open garage. At night, they close the garage door and turn the heat on so the brewery becomes nice and cozy. They even have a food truck in front if you're hungry. We will definitely be back! ;) read more
