Simply put... The bestStaff was friendly and helpful with selections while not being stand-offish. The tasting room is comfortable and the drinks are excellent..

Straight up 5 star! This place is all about the beer, and a little wine. Best find I have ever had, every beer I tried was outstanding! Now, you gotta like Funky, think Jolly Pumpkin, etc... No food, but bring your own is fine.

This place just reiterated my love of sours.Not only do they have plenty of on-tap options but they also have a wide selection of bottled beer, cider, mead, and wine too.When we last visited we even got an impromptu tour from the brewer! They use local ingredients and native yeast. Definitely a unique and awesome place to support!

This place is an absolute gem. You can't and won't go wrong with anything here. The bottle shop inside also has an amazing curration of wilds, sours, lambics, ciders, and wines from around the world (at fair prices)!. The environment is very welcoming and relaxing. Everytime I'm here, I have a beer that I find impressive, and sometimes I meet nice doggos

Unique beers with a local emphasis. Heady beer and meads. Ron was incredibly knowledgable and he was able to pick our brains and guide us to trying out new styles. Spectacular selection with a curated flair. Such a unique brewery. We will definitely be back again!

Large selection on beer, wine and cider. Tasted 4 beers, some of them are spontaneous fermentation. Its interesting and I respect the effort, but its not my kind of beers.

Excellent, unique beer. We tried 4 and loved them all. There are also bottles of beer, ciders, wine for sale from unknown and more known microbreweries. We'll be back!

Very cool little taproom. It's out of the way, so it wasn't crowded, which made me very happy. Tried four beers and they ranged from great to amazing. The Fruitful Barrel was especially good. Will return.

Very nice taproom with unique beers and meads brewed on-site. And a great selection of packaged beverages from other breweries

Fantastic hyperlocal beers with amazing art. Also, the staff are wonderful - if you're into Belgians or spontaneous fermentation, this is a must-stop. I asked many questions and they were all answered with patience and passion! (I learned things like that all their yeasts were from locally collected specimens put in glass jars to see which ones would ferment - the ones that did ferment were compared and those were the original starting batches for this brewery. Neat!)

One of the best brewery experiences my wife and I have had in a while. The bartender was fantastic and the owner was hospitable in giving me a tour of the production side, which he offered to all guests, which was wonderful to be able to get a glimpse into his motivations and passion. We tried every beer they had and enjoyed everything very much.

Fantastic beers! The ones I tried were much smoother than I’d expect for wild yeast beers (typically much more sour).

Great beer selection! I love their drinks as well as their bottle selection. They have a great outdoor patio that is spacious and usually not busy that makes us feel safe visiting during this crazy covid time. Dog friendly! I personally make the trek for Jester King beer!

Wow! Totally worth a visit. Bring friends! This hyper-local beer is packed with layers of flavors all grown right here. The relaxed atmosphere is welcoming. If you are lucky enough to get a tour, the knowledge base and respect for brewing arts is phenomenal.

Dog friendly, unique cider and beer flavors that are off the beaten path of “super skunky IPA”. Owner is super passionate and knowledgeable. The only downside is no hot food so expect to get hammered if you have an empty stomach (not necessarily a bad thing)

This brewery takes its customer's safety very seriously. We understand the money involved to do so thus really appreciate the small biz cash behind this important act of kindness. If you like beer this is your Mecca. Rare bottles of beer from around the world surround their own delicious offerings. We are so glad we walked our dogs such a long way (from the Burlington walking park) to then discover this hidden jewel. Super nice gal on deck to help us as well.

Lovely complex farm house and saison style beers, Ron the owner and brewery is super knowledgeable and has a fantastic selection of wine and beers in unique and interesting styles. Come with an open mind and explore, you will be surprised by trying something new.

Wow. A must visit for those who are into natural fermented beers and wines. We tried the majority of their beers, as well as their wine, and they were all fantastic. They also have one of the best bottle selections I've seen. Off the beaten path, great space, kind staff. Wish I lived close by.

I would leave this place more stars if I could. These brewers are really doing some new and exciting things with beer in the area. All local ingredients and experimental beers with focus on unique fermentation. And the beer was really tasty (try the boysenberry fruit beer). As we were checking out, one of the owners did an impromptu tour of their brewing process and their philosophy of brewing beer. We live in Shoreline, but will be back often.

I originally tried garden path when they first opened, and I will say that I wasn't all that impressed, the beers were so funky you couldn't really pull much else out of them.This holiday season, I grabbed a few of their older mature barrel aged beers and took them to Thanksgiving to try with our beer savy family (home brewers, beer competition judges, and a Deschutes employee). I'm happy to report that garden path, in our opinion, beat out all the other beers (sours) that were brought to the table, including ones from Dirty Couch, Ale Apothecary, and Holy Mountain.If you haven't been to Garden Path, or just haven't been for a while, go, you may be missing out.

what a place for rare and unique beers you wouldn't find in your typical bottle shop in the area, let alone the Puget Sound region. There is always something unique worth the trip here. It's kind of in a odd spot, but that makes it all the better, as it's not over run with bros seeking out a mediocre IPA. If you don't leave without a bottle of their stuff did you even visit?

Horrible customer service. I went in today for the first time and informed the employee that I had never been and was looking to get a growler to take home. He said he could fill one but they don’t have any. I asked what they do for a “to go” option and he pointed out some drinks in a fridge. The entire interaction with the employee was terrible. He was not helpful and gave no good input, and just seemed like he couldn’t figure out what I was looking for. He seemed annoyed that I was trying to get something to take home. Not sure how their drinks are, but the customer service is absolutely terrible.

These guys are really doing something special. I had a tasting flight but if I were to do it again, I'd just pick one and sip on it. There's a lot of layers of flavor to appreciate in each of their beers, and some of the subtle ones can get lost if you're trying multiples at once. Their product makes great gifts too!

Still a hidden gem of the pnw, there are doing some very interesting things with their brews that are definitely work a try. Also their bottle selection is just full of hard to find treats. Top it all off with a warning and welcoming atmosphere and it is just a winning combination. Anytime I'm North of Seattle I will definitely be swinging by.

Went to a tasting on Orcas island and tried two of their beers and three of their ciders. Their cider was maybe the worst tasting liquid known to existence. I would rather clean a toilet with my tongue than have to taste that again. The beer was alright though!

Opening night at Skagit's newest brewery! Loved it. Great layout for the space. Nice bottle collection, you won't find these beers just everywhere. Looking forward to the future.

A very nice hidden gem. We went to see the tulips then came here for some tasting. The Subtle Blend is really good. So is the cherry wine. Loved the atmosphere here.

They do spontaneous fermentation here. Their beers have a unique characteristic unlike anything else in Western WA. Well worth the visit. Also stop by the Chuckanut tap room if you're in the area.
