Nearly across from my hotel. Medium sized place. I came on trivia night so a little busy but not too bad. Did not try any food and only light beers available. I've been to two different places tonight that shitted on this place but I found the beers to be pleasant enough. Nothing earth shattering, but certainly drinkable and enjoyable. 8 or 9 of their own on tap with a few guest taps. Bartender helpful and friendly. Overall, nice place in downtown Bremerton, and well worth a stop if nearby,

A bit outside Bremerton. They share a complex with a BBQ restaurant, and that menu seems to also be available inside the brewery. I had already eaten so I did not try. Small place, but bright and literally open with a big patio just outside behind the bar. Dog friendly with a couple of resident dogs who were adorable. Beer was solid. Hop forward as you expect in this part of the country, but very well done. Root beer was very good too. Service was mixes, some very friendly, some very passive. Prices in line with the area. Overall, well worth a stop if anywhere near here.

Right of WA-3. Parking lot is easy to get into and a total bitch to get out of. Nice place. Bright, open. Stopped right at opening and a couple regulars trickled in, but mid-day on a Thursday pretty dead. Decent bar snacks. Service was good. Beer, sadly, was not good, but it looks like a new head brewer is coming on, so hopefully things will improve. Give it a few weeks from today (8/7/25) but stop on by if you're in the area.

Located in a kinda industrial area of a tourist town. Small, on the back of a building. Rustic for sure. Seems like a local dive. Bartender a little gruff but friendly. No flights but had four 10 ounce pours for $20, and prices not bad overall. No real food. Beers were all over the map. Two (west coast IPA and stout) excellent, Scottish ale was a diacetyl bomb, APA was meh. They were founded in Buckley, WA, in 2003, and going here is like travelling in time. It's like drinking in 2003. If you're in Ocean Shores stop by but don't go out of your way.

Located in the tourist town of Ocean Shores, so it has a bit of a touristy vibe. Easy parking. Did not try the food, but food looks typical of an Irish pub. Though I am suspect of the "Wisconsin Cheese Curds" made by a place thousands of miles from Wisconsin. Might stop by tomorrow just to try (and critique) them! ;) Irish pub vibe for sure with lots of dark wood, bar, tables, couches, Irish swag on all the walls. A smattering of beers. A couple locals and some European big beers. Prices okay. Service was average--no more no less. Nice enough stop if you're in town.

1300th place rating! 8/6/25. Stopped by on my way to the coast. Small, tight town. Found street parking easy. And free. Smallish place, but probably bigger than it looks. Nice vibe, especially the ceiling with its huge beams. Brewery is VERY close to the bar just behind. Tried four beers. Kettle sour was OK, milk stout good, two IPAs (one West Coast, one hazy) both very astringent. Sad. Food (clam chowder) was quite good. Service was good, but they needed a second server and the one there was overworked. Overall worth it if in town, but not if you're coming out of the way.
