Great place, lots of room inside and out. They were very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Good family friendly vibe, lots of kids and dogs- all extremely well behaved!

Good selection of beers on tap, several lagers, about 5 IPAs, both west coast and hazy), a Baltic porter and an imperial stout. Beers were very good to great. If we lived in the area we’d be back often.

The place was tucked away behind a self storage facility, but decent parking availability. I’d recommend the pizzas.

I visited Formula Brewing a few days ago while tooling around the Eastside. When I was there, they had 10 of their beers on tap, plus a guest beer and cider, as well as wine and a couple of premade cocktails. The beers were a good mix of styles, with IPA and porter but also lagers, a California common and a fruited Berliner weissbier. The ones I tried were above average at worst, and quite good at best. I'll definitely return here.

Service is friendly up at the bar. Taproom is big enough and industrial with the brewhouse fully visible. You could reach out from your seat and touch the tanks! Love it. Be advised, though -- parking is very limited and kind of confusing.

Visited Tuesday, 2021-06-22, about lunch time, with my wife. Pandemic restrictions were mostly lifted. We each had two beers and we ate wings and a pretzel. The wings were very well prepared, very juicy with a nice skin on them.

Their tap list I would say was more IPAs than anything else, but plenty of non IPA entries. A BA imperial stout, several lagers, a Norwegian saison. All the beers we had were good and interesting. I had a brief chat with the brewer, and he seemed to prefer lagers.

The beer was good. Service was good. Kids were allowed (a family with kids in tow came in after us). Space was big, clean, and nice.

I'm likely to go back.
