Doghaus Brewery

Super tiny spot. Maybe enough room for ten people. They serve beer to go in plastic cups with resealable tops so you can go outside and sit in the courtyard. The woman working in the taproom was very friendly. They had a surprising variety of styles of beer for a such a small place. I tried the Heather Ale. It was just OK. It's an interesting brewery to check out if you are vacation in Leavenworth.

I visited Doghaus Brewery while in Leavenworth a few weeks back. The bartender said they are the smallest taproom in Washington, which I entirely believe. I've certainly never been to a smaller one -- there are 6 seats at the bar, and standing room for about 2 more people. That said, they pack a lot of character into the small space.

There are 8 taps on the wall, but only 6 were available at the time of my visit. I had a tasting flight, and really enjoyed the hazy IPA and maple stout. Solid choices all around, though. Service was excellent -- you really get a lot of attention when there are only 6 customers in the whole place. I totally recommend Doghaus to anyone swinging through Leavenworth.

 

 

Very intimate (small) tasting room. Beer selection was good for a small Brewery. 8 beers on tap, including a scotch ale, a smoked porter, a lager, and several Ales. The two that I sampled were very good.

January 2017 Update - The Doghaus Brewery has been expanding over the winter and now has a 5 bbl system, up from a 1 barrel. As of now they produce 6 beers and have a 7th, a mesquite smoked porter, in the works. The tasting room is small and intimate, dog-friendly, with a TV for when the "big game" might be on. There is a large outdoor beer-garden/patio, but it belongs to an adjacent restaurant. The brewery's tasting room cannot serve to the patio, but they do sell kegs to the restaurant. The building is a bit confusing, so you have to explore a bit. The brewery tasting room can be accessed by entering the inside hallway from the beer garden. It's the first door on the right.

Great little place. Very good beer. Double dog dare was great. Only two beers available, was the only draw back. Owners were very nice and helpful. Staff was great.
