Rooftop…indoors.

We are jazzed to re-open our newly expanded indoor taproom! Come drink your favorite Rooftop beers in our cozy warm space and enjoy the beauty of:

• Expanded table and bar seating for all ages, including 4-legged friends

• A big screen TV for your favorite sporting events or otherwise

• A full “to-go” fridge including all available Rooftop canned beer

• An expanded private event space available for rent

• An indoor extension of the community space you already love

Rooftop has also teamed with Smash That Burger food truck for a more consistent and top notch food experience.  Smash That Burger Co. is new to the Seattle scene, but has already been getting rave reviews as one of the best burgers in town.  And, yes, they have veggie options!

To celebrate our new space and new partnership, Rooftop has brought back some daily specials and events at the tasting room -  including:

• Tuesday Trivia with King Trivia

• Board Game Night

• Daily Happy Hours and Specials

Come see us!

Block Party is back!

We are thrilled to celebrate 10 years as part of the Seattle brewing community and invite you to party with us at our (mostly) annual block party!

We’ll be celebrating our 10th anniversary at our tasting room at 1220 W. Nickerson St., on Saturday, August 13 from noon to midnight. We will be expanding the tasting room into the parking lot next door (thanks to our friends at Greenhome Solutions), with food from some of your favorite food trucks including Cascadia Pizza, Theo’s Gyros and Peco’s Pit BBQ. There will be live music all day, including bands from School of Rock and Kate Dinsmore. We are also partnering with DogGone Seattle who will be bringing dogs available for adoption around 2-5PM. Make sure you buy a raffle ticket for not one but two big raffles - one for the dog lovers as well as a Ballard brewery themed raffle with tours, tastings and swag. This will be an all ages event with activities for kids - we are also bringing back the dunk tank!

In addition, we are releasing a new beer to commemorate our anniversary - Lager X! Available on tap or in 16oz cans, this hoppy lager blends the aromatics of an American IPA with the crisp finish of a classic lager. We’ll have limited amounts, so come early to get yours (along with free limited swag for the first 25 case purchases).

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Rooftop + Pride

Pride month is near, which only means one thing - our annual Pride beer is here!

This year we are celebrating Pride in the tasting room with our ever sparkly I Glitterally Can’t Even. Because glitter doesn’t travel well, you can find Passion for Fruits at some of your favorite bars and restaurants around town. It’s the same beer, just with a glammed up glitter version special only to the tasting room - and for a limited time!

This celebratory brew is a Bavarian style wheat beer, infused with POG (passionfruit, blood orange and guava). It’s the perfect beer to accompany all of your Pride celebrations.

Rooftop designates a Pride beer each June and donates a portion of its proceeds to an organization that supports the LGBTQ community.

This year we are donating to Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington. Planned Parenthood’s mission today is to build a world in which every person — regardless of their race, income, insurance, gender identity, sexual orientation, abilities, or immigration status — can access expert, compassionate sexual and reproductive health care, information, and education without shame or judgement.

Come celebrate and donate to a good cause! Find us at the tasting room, around town and look for us at Elysian’s Pride Beer Garden on June 25th!

Supporting Ukraine

Rooftop stands with the people of Ukraine and against the horrific invasion and attack on their country.

We are donating a portion of the proceeds from sales of our Tank Ride Russian Imperial Stout to World Central Kitchen. World Central Kitchen (WCK) is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises and is currently working to feed Ukrainian refugees.

Our Tank Ride Russian Imperial Stout is one of our favorite seasonal beers. It’s also among our favorite beer names and labels–an homage to our Founder Craig’s time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Vladivostok… and a wild ride on a tank (!) with a Russian general. Given the current invasion of Ukraine, we feel the beer and label afforded an opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause. 

We’ll save the tank ride story for another day. For now, we look forward to raising money for WCK–and hope that aid finds its way to the Ukrainian people and all those impacted by this war.
