Wondering if anyone's been to this new brewery on Lake City Way. Drove past it the other day, realized I hadn't heard anything on here or elsewhere. Just another new Seattle brewery, but for some reason this one isn't in Ballard. http://www.hellbentbrewingcompany.com/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/40790/
Though about stopping in one day, but I had my daughter with me and they're 21+. Also excited for Ravenna Brewing to open up. Nice to have another brewery in NE Seattle.
I have been there a couple times. They have 4 house offerings on tap and some guest beers - a good selection including Holy Mountain both times I went. I liked about half of the 6-8 Hellbent beers I tried, the others were okay but did not stand out. I really like the space, it has lots of both indoor and outdoor seating, it is pet friendly (which I'm ambivalent about - I don't think it's kid friendly), and it has a food truck outside a lot of the time as far as I can tell. A different crowd than the Ballard breweries, much more eclectic.
I was at Hellbent's opening day. They had 4 beers at the time, and they were decent if not mind-blowing -- not surprising for a brand new brewery, I'd say. The place had a chill vibe, though, so I'd like to go back in a month or two and see what else they've cooked up in the brewhouse.
