U-Neek and Crucible Brewing Company

Heard about this place for a few weeks as the owners/brewers are fellow patrons of a local bottle shop. The locale is a bit tucked away if you don't know where to go but isn't difficult to get to or park. Space is industrial with polished concrete floors, steel chairs and stools, with smooth wooden tables and concrete bar. Fun space with plenty of seating options. Had a good range of beers to chose from which I always like at a taproom. Employees and brewers are friendly and fun, banter back with you and customers. Really enjoyed the beers, especially the Dubbel and Raspberry Kettle Sour. Glad I got to check it out.

Update 2/25/16: Opened additional seating, space and projector into the space nextdoor to them. Allows considerably more patrons.

 

 

A nice little place in Everett's business park district. Another brewery in the area obscured by the otherwise industrial type environment. A classic beer hall type environment plus a nice deck. Plenty of interior and exterior seating and widescreen tvs, pet friendly.

20 taps with a large assortment of B+/A- caliber brews and a guest cider or two... a lot of their regular offerings and rotating seasonals. Prices are on the higher end compared to the other breweries in the area, but the beers are tasty. Service is very friendly and knowledgeable on their offerings, food is the usual rotating food trucks. They have growler fills and the occasional crowler offerings available.

A nice enough place to knock back a few and grab some grub. Recommended if you find yourself in the Everett area.

Great place to grab a beer and love that they do crowler cans. This is my go-to place in Everett. Too bad that Boeing stole all the food trucks though.

All nice folks, top notch brews. Definitely give Crucible a try!

They have 20 taps and sell in a large variety of volumes. Last time I was there they had 4 regulars, 5 rotating releases, one cider, 6 IPAs representing both coasts, and 4 guest taps from Watt's Brewing. Their Hefe is quite popular and I love the Flintlock IPA and the No Rye-gerts Saison most.

 

Love the options for Porters and Stouts. A nice change from all the IPA's and Hophead beers. I like all beer, don't get me wrong, but not too many places near me that offer a great Porter and/or Stout.

 

Vibe/Ambiance: Place is ok, right at the mall
Service: very small operation but person at bar is atttentive
Selection: Basic beers stout, ipa
Food
Value: pints at $5, growlers at $15 is a bit expensive
Overall: Its is nice brewery

I visited Crucible last weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The taproom is on the smaller side but well-laid-out and attractive; there are four TVs plus a big projector so there were a couple different games on when I was there. There were only a few other customers in with me, but they all seemed to be regulars and were cool dudes to talk to. The owner, Dick, is enthusiastic about talking about brewing, which is always a treat at a small brewery.

Their selection of beers is interesting; I was talking to the owner and he says he plans to do a lot of experimentation. The beers I tried were quite good, so I am really looking forward to going back and sampling a lot more of them.
