Fair Isle Brewing |
Welcome
We’re a brewery and all-ages taproom and restaurant serving food seven days a week. Located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle we create lagers and mixed-culture saisons that reflect the bounty of ingredients the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
The beer, inspired by local ingredients, inspires the food in return, creating a cohesive and innovative menu that perfectly marries brew and meal.
Not just saisons
We create lageres with time honored tradition and Washington Malts.
Our House Lager is brewed with Washington barley from LINC Malt and Oregon hops from Crosby - 100% salmon safe ingredients from the PNW.
Inspired by lagers of the Bavarian region of Germany, our house lager is unfiltered, and naturally carbonated. The result is a clean, dry and quaffable lager with a soft malt character balance by a noble-esque hop bitterness.
Cheers to the simple things in life, and to the bounty of ingredients of the Pacific Northwest.
We reuse our bottles!
We are super excited to announce our Bottle Reuse Program! Bring your emptied (and preferably rinsed) bottles to the taproom and get fifty cents off for every bottle you return toward the purchase of Fair Isle bottle or draft beer.
Reusing our bottles has 85% lower carbon footprint, 82% less water and 92% less energy than single use glass. From the onset of Fair Isle, we’re keenly aware of our footprint and make daily decisions to minimize it by using over 99% local Malt, working with Salmon Safe and Regenerative malt and naturally carbonating our beer. We’re continuing to make steps and reduce our footprint on this world, so that we are better stewards in an industry that is traditionally resource heavy.
We create beers focused on the Pacific Northwest
We focus on thoughtful lagers and saisons brewed with our house culture of wild and feral yeasts and bacterias that express the bounty of ingredients in the northwest. We live in a place where there’s not just great hops but several craft maltsters producing a wide range of malt, wonderful fruit grown a short distance away and several different geographical areas that offer an enormous selection of foraging opportunities.
