Scenic NW breweries

Pelican Brewing in Pacific City is plenty scenic, with views of the ocean and Chief Kiawanda Rock. Updraft IPA is really good for the afternoon, and one of their barrel-aged beers would be delightful for evening scenic drinking.

Everybody's Brewing in White Salmon, WA has a deck with a nifty view of Mt. Hood and solid beers.

 

Just across the water from Everybody's, but I had a great time watching the kite boarders from Ferment's upstairs deck in Hood River.

 

I imagine the tasting room at Fort George's new production facility in Astoria has a nice view of the Columbia River. They converted one of the old canning warehouses, and put a bunch of picnic benches on the attached pier.

 

I didn't see any mention of Narrows Brewing in Tacoma. You have a pretty view of the Sound and the bridges.

 

Most scenic brewery in my neck of the woods is Precious Things, which I discovered today is not listed in the database. I'm already out in the Valley, and intend to stop by PT soon, so I'll try to take some pics while there.

Most of the breweries around here are pretty urban and pretty unscenic.

 

The Alesong countryside location also needs a mention.

 

I like Depoe Bay Brewing. Upstairs has a wide view of the Pacific..the down stairs has a lovely view of the wee harbour

 

I loved the original Buoy location. Sitting at the bar and watching the river flow by is a wonderful experience.

 

Bale Breaker's taproom in Yakima is uniquely scenic when the hops are up. Does that count?

 

I feel like it should.

 

Precious Things Fermentation Project, on Saturday. Weather became rainy as fuck when I was about 5 miles out, so drinking there became, by default, an indoor experience.

 

Scenic but it also smells amazing during harvest.

 

Solera brewing out in the Gorge/Parkdale has an amazing view of Mt Hood

 

Forbidden Peak in Juneau... amazing views, average beers.

 

Nothing comes to mind in my neck of the woods, unless you enjoy watching traffic on Lake City Way.

I was gonna suggest Logsdon (never been but I remember seeing pictures) but just discovered they are permanently closed—which makes me sad. I was not aware.

 

Not sure anything beats the Pacific City Pelican or Solera, but a couple other places I've enjoyed are Wolves & People in Newberg and Thunder Island in Cascade Locks.

Also, not a brewery, but TopWire Hop Farm in Woodburn is pretty cool. Similar vibe to Bale Breaker, as you can sit & drink surrounded by hop bines.

 

Old Schoolhouse Brewery in Winthrop has a back patio that sits along the Chewuch River. It is very scenic and relaxing, and the beers are quite good.
Old Stove has a great view of the Puget Sound at their Pike Place location. Beers are very good.
Rooftop Brewing Company has a nice view over the cut into Ballard in Seattle. The beers are solid.
Gorges Beer Company in Casade Locks has a great view of the Bridge of the Gods from their rooftop deck.
Magnuson Cafe and Brewery in Seattle looks to have a nice outdoor patio over Lake Washington, but I've never been.
