Standard Brewing

This is not a kid friendly place. We were told that kids were allowed, but they really aren’t and they aren’t welcomed. We left feeling ostracized and this isn’t a family friendly environment. Good beer, but they should manage their customers expectations better. There are a lot of places that don’t allow kids. Just be upfront about about the environment you are trying to create.

Laid back brews.
Standard Brewing is small, but offers great beer brewed on-​site and a nice, outdoor patio. The order counter is right next to the brewing equipment, so you get a feel for the brewing process. There’s ample street parking making it pretty accessible.
There’s limited indoor seating, but the outdoor patio is spacious and comfortable. The menu is small, but every beer I tried was amazing. The menu includes numbers making it easy to order and concise descriptions so you get a feel for each beer. This takes craft beer to a whole new level.
I can’t imagine a better summer hangout spot.

This place is just great. It’s a small place (though they recently expanded) with great beer and outdoor seating. In the summer they find ways to make shade and even have fans with a mister to keep their patrons comfortable in the outdoor space. I’d say their West Coast IPA is one of the best in town, but there is not a bad beer on the list. Support your local beer loving entrepreneurs… go to Standard next time you need a good beer!

Great beer made by someone who cares about great beer. I was impressed by the wide selection of different beers available at this micro (nano?) brewery tasting room. Check the website for what’s brewing this week, and go check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

Beer is good. I had the west coast ipa. The outdoor space is nice when the weather is good. Heaters and outdoor tv for cooler days. I met the Brewer/​owner in my visit. The owner is too cool, for that reason I do not recommend nor will I return. I asked for beer recommendations and he was very short and not friendly. I was one of 7 people at the brewery at that time. The owner was short and snappy.

1^st time visit yesterday; they were celebrating their 3^rd (?) anniversary so pretty busy when we got there. Cool outdoor patio area with heat lamps; only a couple of seats «inside» which is really just a covered area that you order beers in. Good tap list; wife had cider (elemental) so her opinion doesn’t count :). I had the Earl (bier de garde) and whatever their saison was; enjoyed both and recommend.
Cool vibe, really nice employees, great beer, dog friendly, etc. Definitely worth checking out and already looking forward to next visit to try rest of their line-​up!

As mentioned by others, Standard is going through a massive expansion. They have more outdoor seating — with a heat lamp as well. Yet, it’s still lacking indoor seating — for now.
Try both the Cascadian Dark Ale and the Ginger Beer (made with actual ginger). The CDL is both smooth and sneaks up on you. The Ginger Beer has a solid bite to it, but is refreshing on a hot day.

Well, they got more tables (yay!)
Standard is currently going through a fairly big renovation in efforts to open a bar and restaurant…
I. Cannot. Wait.

The beer was great and the outdoor patio was perfect for a nice evening. It also had an awesome local, friendly vibe. I had the kotbusser, which was delicious. It was a light easy drinking beer with a warm, smooth finish. I highly recommend it!

Incredibly legit. I’ve been in the CD for the past couple years and stumbled upon this brewery soon after moving here.
First and foremost the beer they make and serve is top notch. Both in quality, flavor, and variety — Justin and Darren are a cut above in their craftsmanship.
Always treated respectfully and interactions here definitely have a neighborly feeling.
I come here for the chill atmosphere, excellent beer, and the nice people. It sometimes feels a bit like a secret drinking establishment, which is awesome when I don’t want to brave the crowds of other establishments.
Carry on!

Take this place for what it is, a standard brewery that makes good standard style beer. Yep. It is a small one man operation and the man works hard at it. Stop in a try a few tasters or sip a pint outside on the bench.

Another awesome place in my neighborhood. Darren is pretty cool. He told me they’ve been around for a little over two years now. They just recently re-​paved it and and made it super quaint. I love coming here after work and having a bee’s wine ginger beer. It’s the closest thing I can get to a cider to fix my kick for that taste. I’ve noticed a lot of educators in the neighborhood come here with their kids while their off for the summer. Funny! Great place.

I can’t wait until the patio is expanded… then I’ll probably have to add a 5^th star. Right now the atmosphere is fairly cramped inside, and the small patio was full when I was there. But, everyone inside was friendly and welcoming. It feels like a neighborhood hangout. What I really loved was the ginger beer (Bee’s Wine). It’s only mildly alcoholic, and very flavorful, sweet, and refreshing. In short, perfect after a day of sunshine and hot weather. I will be back.

Many friends have recommended me to visit Standard Brewing, I read the reviews on Unilocal saying it’s amazing.
Things of note:
1. They do not allow samples of their beer, you either buy a taster or a glass. Exception being the nitro stout that is not allowed in tasters.
2. It’s a small place, but it has a nice patio to hang out on.
3. The owner is very passionate about his craft.
4. The customer service seems to be hit-​or-​miss, though I’m told they are working on this.
We didn’t have the best experience when a group of us stopped in randomly, but after talking with the owner we are going to give it another chance.
The beer was all very solid, and I hope the continue to make good beer and grow in the right ways into a great brewery.
Edited review after the owner/​brewer reached out to me to explain the very strange experience we had there. Will update my review to reflect our next experience, hopefully to 5 stars like most of the rest of the reviews.

I love standard brewing. WHY? Because they sell growlers (32 oz) for $ 11 – 15 bucks each that you can take home. SO CHEAP.
Standard brewing is the most humble, cute and quaint beer place ever. West coast IPA is BOMB. Imperial IPA also does not disappoint. Each beer is delicious and you can tell that each is made by love. Definitely stop by. DO IT because the stop is worth it.

These guys are working hard and doing swell down here east of the international district. They have taken over a cool old structure off 23^rd and Jackson. There’s a patio out front, well concealed by bamboo and light wood bench structures. Feels very private for an open air patio. Room for about ten.
Inside, there’s a funky, awkward, fun little foyer with about ten stools, and around the dogleg corner is a bar and register. They have 12 taps, and virtually always pour all house beers as far as I know. There are two people here who do everything, from order hops to washing kegs to sealing gaskets to designing recipes to brewing beers to wiping tables to pouring beers and cashing you out. You gotta respect the commitment. And they’re stoked to be here, too, and doing nice stuff.
They make lagers as well as ales, which is already a cool step forward in my book. They have a decent kolsch and schwarzbier to complement their IPAs, stouts, porters, and whatnot. Most of them are very well made. I couldn’t really get with the ginger beer or the wheated red, but we split seven other beers that ranged from pretty rad to nearly amazing. The CDA and imperial ipa were both on the high end for sure, and the Azacca Stress Test (single hop session ipa) was also fantastic.
It’s rare to find people doing so many different things in support of long-​term goals, and doing them all so well. They’re serving good beers in a nice setting and doing it right on the edge of downtown, practically. There’s a lot of potential here, and I can’t wait to try a bunch more of their beers.

Really liked this brewery. The beers on tap were German influenced. I had the wheated red and the schwarz kolsch which was a dark kolsch. It is a small brewery with a few seats inside and covered seating outside. Worth a stop by to try some different beers.

We were recommended this brewery by locals while downing a flight at another brewery. We decided to take their word for it and stop by, and I’m glad we did! There wasn’t a beer I didn’t enjoy. It’s a small place with limited indoor seating. However, it was a beautiful day, so we opted to sit outside on the patio and share a table (and good conversation) with a stranger while loving on fellow customers’ pups.

This is a great brewery with several different beer styles they offer. They are reasonably priced, and the owner was really friendly.
The place is really small, but offers outdoor seating. You can bring your own food, and they are dog friendly.
Their offerings are beer by the pint, tasters, and growlers. He does not give out free samples so just get a taster if you are unsure that you will like one of their beers.
Credit cards and cash accepted.

A five star rating for Standard Brewing? Yep, and I’m adding it to the average, cumulative rating average with no hesitation.
Although SB can be defined as a brewery in the traditional sense, don’t walk in here thinking about brew tours or extensive tasting rooms. No, just think about quality, local micro-​brews served by a personable founder and, if you’re lucky, while sitting outside in the warm sun (yes, I realize this is Seattle and I said sun, but you take it when you can get it!). Honestly, need I say more? Not really, but give me another sec.
All beers can be purchased via a growler or pint glass. Also, 5 oz. samplers are only $ 2, so I made sure to try the Cascadian Dark Ale, Belgian Black Ale, Altbier, Wheated Red and finally the sweet, but delicious, Bee’s Wine Ginger Beer while relaxing on their front patio with some of the other visitors. It actually felt like a private party versus a local business and I was more than okay with that.
Standard? No. Sets the standard? Yes.
