The closest brewery to the hikes along the Mountain Loop Highway is Lake Stevens Brewing Company. Don’t let the small size of the building fool you–there is tasty beer to be had inside!

Vashon Brewing Community Pub
Despite only being 37 square miles, there are multiple options to whet your whistle on Vashon Island, whether being a tourist or after hiking in Dockton Forest. We chose Vashon Brewing Community Pub.
Bombing Range Brewing Company
My holiday break ended up not being quite what I had in mind, but I got to explore a few breweries in the Tri-Cities and see beloved family members, which is always a treat. I’ve already wrote about Badger Mountain in Richland, now where’s a brewery to hit afterwards!
Snowshoes & Brews Part II: Icicle Brewing
After snowshoeing most of the way up to Lanham Lake, it was time for Part II of REI’s snowshoes and brews guided expedition–the beer!

Bainbridge Brewing
If you’re headed back to Seatte after hiking in the Olympic Peninsula, like we were, you have tons of apres-hike beer options. With choosing the Bainbridge ferry back home, we knew there were tons of good options between the Lower Grey Wolf River and the ferry terminal.
Birdsview Brewing
After an enthralling hike at Heather-Maple Loop Pass, we decided to wet our whistles at a brewery that is an institution for Highway 20 hikers–Birdsview Brewing.

Haywire Brewing Co.
If you’re able to make it out of the maze that is Lord Hill Park, your reward is less than two miles away–a brewery with delicious beer, friendly staff, and an idyllic setting without looking like Pinterest threw up. Welcome to Haywire Brewing Co.!
