Established in 1988, this is the first Brewpub which started the Beer Revolution in Seattle. We were here hoping for hoppy IPA and were well satisfied. We spent a pleasant hour or so in the company of a most amenable barman who was happy to advise and offer samples of both the cask and keg Coast to Coast. The Citra Smash was the standout.
Big Time Brewery & Alehouse is located almost directly across the road from a highly recommended Curry House – Chili’s South Indian Cuisine.
However, one can eat here also.
