Lucky Envelope Brewing

A small and Spartan concrete floored interior with some dark wooden tables and a long stand alone bar with stools, across from the actual bar. Their beer selection is varied and the IPAs and lager type beers were of very light coloring and they are lighter versions of their styles. There are picnic tables out front, for pooches to relax under. This area is flush with many small breweries.

Best brewery in Ballard!

Nice, clean, open-airy, industrial shop taproom; seating inside and outside, wide open garage doors day I was in; a little off the beaten path, not really near anything in eyesight outside of residential and commercial property... folks walked up off the street with strollers or pets into the main room to buy take-out cans... upon entry, I was immediately greeted by and chatted with a manager(?) and the bartender; they'd just opened for the day, so very few patrons there during my visit... got two flights; relatively eclectic mix of standard styles and flavor-infused classics... the staff didn't seem to know much about the newer beers, the little we spoke about them; the bartender pretty much just carried on a convo with a local regular; not much engagement with I; definitely seemed like a popular spot with(in) the neighborhood... glad to have visited and it's a nice spot with some quality, unique brews, but I really would never go out of my way again for the vibe or the beer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great patio and wonderful service. There were 9 of their own beers on tap and 2 guest ciders. The people here all seem nice and the vibe seems pretty relaxed.

 

Another place to visit if one's on a Ballard (or Ballard and Fremont) pub crawl. Smaller space but like many places in Seattle, it has a nice patio.

There were some interesting beers like a peanut butter stout and chile pale ale, so there's a distinctness to the beers here that I think is absolutely necessary to compete in Seattle.

The beers weren't out-of-this-world but they were all more than drinkable.

Worth visiting if on a crawl.

 

New place has a nice open tasting room. Good variety of beers to pick from (they had 9 when I went). In a fun locale among the other breweries in the infamous Ballad, lending itself to being part of a nice brew crawl.

I visited Lucky Envelope Brewing yesterday with a buddy of mine who happened to notice the place while riding his bike to work. I had never heard of Lucky Envelope, but I'm glad I had the chance to try it out.

The taproom is clean and relatively spacious with a nice outdoor seating section for when the weather is good. There were a dozen or so beers on top, plus a guest cider. Beer quality seems pretty good, although I've only had a couple of their beers so far now.

Staff are friendly and service is quick -- can't ask for too much more there.
