Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company

February 9, 2008
Bit of a trek from the downtown Seattle area to get out here, and before we go any farther, I have to say that for beer tourists, I wouldn’t recommend an hour and a half (round trip) in the car for this place. The beers are good, but you can get half a dozen of them in town in bottles. That said, hey, the beers really are good, and it’s five minutes from a roaring waterfall that the natives regarded for centuries as a spiritual place. Which also boasts a luxury lodge and spa, so, if you’re in from out of town, you could do worse. Anyway, the place itself, on the merits, is a pretty great little brewery and worth it by itself for a drive out from town, and visiting is a no-brainer if you’re out here looking at the falls and trains. Small taproom with a credible pub grub menu they sold soup and sandwiches by the dozen while I sat at the bar this afternoon. Rande deserves some props for his more successful efforts the whole lineup isn’t rock-star solid yet but he’s got some nice specials, a great winter beer, and a totally killer IPA. Very friendly, cheerful (and cute) servicethey even seem to be making some effort to learn about the beers, which is a nice bonus.

This was a great place. Easy to find and the parking was plenty. Lots of great beers to be found on tap. The food was good regular pub eats. I liked the atmosphere they had it going on. It feels local but you can tell they have both crowds. The servers knew the beers and they set me up with a special taster sampling. Had a great time the TV’s had football and the beer and snow was cold. Great times to be had here. A Must Stop for you all. They have special beers on tap you will not find in bottles.

Newly-built industrial feel inside, high ceilings and lots of drywall. Classic rock was playing on the Ipod connected to the stereo system. Staff was friendly and attentive, food was about average quality brewpub-type offerings. I tried the beer sampler platter, closely followed by a pint of the IPA, which is very nice. Worth a stop in if you’re on your way through the area for the IPA alone, in fact.

The ambiance, which seems kind of a high brow word for this place, was warehouse-like, and in a weird way adds to the charm. Our waitress was enthusiastic and cheerful, but I think she was the only one working the lunch crowd and was absent for long streches. The beer was excellent and fresh.

I don’t know what a "High Brow" sandwich is, but I had something called a muffuletta sandwich and it was danged tasty. I like this place. It just feels right. Everyone else here has done a good job describing it. I just wanted to say that my opinion is that it just feels right.

Good selection of high-brow sandwiches. New happy hour appetizer menu provides many avenues of snacking. Great place for lunch or drinks.

Good food with friendly staff. Have a nice selection of beers on tap. Four or five year round with seasonals and a couple of nitros. They make their own root beer. Tasty.

Seems I’m the first one to rate their new taproom.... Was out at Snoqualmie Falls with my Dad who was visiting this past weekend...decided to try and find their new tap room. Driving down the main "downtown" strip, there was a sign pointing us in the right direction...easy to find. Nice place to check out if in the area. I didn’t write down a list, but they had a good tap selection. Had their usuals, plus a Rose Bud and Hibiscus Ale(I think) that was interresting, but nothing great. It was part of a "special rotating beer" that they’ll have at all times. The Copperhead on nitro was really tasty.... Nice little taproom to taste a few beers.

Visited in late january 2006. Nice folks, they will sample anything you like that they have in tap. You enter through the loading dock. There wasn’t much in the way of merchandise, but they do have their brews available for purchase. No tour to speak of, but I convinced them to walk us around the place. They were in the process of converting part of the space into a restaurant. If I recall correctly, the fellow mentioned that they would focus on fresh foods, no fryer. Maybe sandwiches? Anyway, it was in progress.
