Port Townsend Brewing Company

Great beer, great and inexpensive pub snacks, and great atmosphere. Love the cards and games lying about. Glad there is finally a brewery in Port Townsend that brews delicious beer!

I make sure to come here and the Pourhouse every time I'm in Port Townsend now.

Breweries are often nestled in the oddest of places. For beer drinkers who just fresh moved from a landlocked state this location is pretty odd. The brewery is in an area of Port Townsend where it is a mix of industrial manufacturing and fishing boats. Parking in the area is terribly confusing in this area but the brewery does have it's own parking.
We got the Amber Ale and the Bitter End IPA.  The amber was good. It was relatively complex and had a good aftertaste to it. The Bitter End IPA was good as well and lived right up to it's namesake with ease.
The lady was extremely friendly that worked there but listening to the locals gossip there  reminded me of some small town dive bar where eavesdropping or getting caught up in awkward and uninteresting subjects are impossible to avoid. Still despite the salty talk the brewery has class and rises above all that.

I planned a last minute weekend getaway to Port Townsend this last weekend to celebrate my husbands and my 4 year wedding anniversary! Since we are so into beer, I decided on Port Townsend so we could come to this brewery! It was stumbling distance to our hotel, BONUS!
This place was pretty well packed at 5pm. We found a seat at the bar and were greeted by the bartender. She was great! We decided to sample everything on tap! At only $1 per taster (About the size of a shot glass) why not?! $11 for all 11 beers on tap!
My favorites were; Reel Amber, Strait Stout & the PT Brown Porter. Chet's Golden Ale was a strong runner up!
The only bad thing about this place, closing time was 7pm on a Saturday! We probably would've shut the place down had it stayed open! But I guess we saved ourselves some money! It was awesome though, the bartender did not rush us, she even offered us another beer at 7. There were several locals in there too chatting with her and she said, "Take your time, I have to clean this place anyways!" She was fantastic! She gave us some tips on what to do with our evening, and she hooked us up with FREE stickers (that looked to be labels from their brews!) We also bought a growler for $5, and a pint glass for $5. Thats a cheap growler and a pricey pint glass, but it is a cool glass!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! It's a shame it's so far from home!! :( But regardless of the distance, we will definitely be back!!!
