We began work on a vacant former sports bar & pizzeria in July 1988.
We had to gut the entire building and rebuild most of the interior and facade.
Interior. Looking from just inside the front doors towards the back. On the right is the bar which we moved from here to its current position.
By early November 1988 the brewery was operational for our first test brews and we were open for business in mid-December. Seattle's 1st Pub Brewery!
