Cairn Brewing

The building housing Cairn Brewing is now Postdoc Brewing - Kenmore (https://www.yelp.com/biz/postdoc-brewing-kenmore-kenmore). None of the beers still appearing on the Cairn Brewing web site are available, and there is a note at the top of that web site about the change of owners.The beer is still pretty good, but I believe it is the same lineup as in the main Postdoc Brewing facility in Redmond, so we've lost some local diversity.The outdoor patio is wonderful (in the warm & dry months).Parking is awful. There are maybe a half dozen spaces in the lot adjacent to the patio. Patrons are advised to park at the Park & Ride on the other side of SR522 and a bit to the east.

I love this little gem. Great service with knowledgeable people who are experts in their craft. Cute little outside space and the inside is inviting and a working brewery. Dog friendly which is always fun. Didn't notice food but I was there for the beer! Recommend stop on your journey!

I came by to grab a drink with a coworker who recommended this place. They have a large space that includes both indoor and outdoor seating. There are picnic tables and couch seats inside that face the TVs so people can watch sports games. Outside there are patio tables covered by tarps. There are very few parking spots right out front but there is street parking a block away where you can park and walk over.All their beers are brewed in-house and their ciders come from Soundbite Cider in Everett. I ordered the thor's hammer ($6.50) which was very creamy and chocolate-y. If you want you can also order flights that consist of four 4oz pours of $2-3 each. They don't have free samplers but instead it's a $1 donation to a charity.When I came here a lot of people were on their laptops because there is free wifi so it's a good place to get some work done too. They have food trucks parked on-site so you don't need to go too far for food. This is a nice place to relax and grab some drinks.

Great place for a summer beer! They have a big outdoor area that is mostly shaded in the afternoon with lots of seating and it's not over crowded with chairs. The servers were all really friendly when they were pouring the beer or walking around clearing glasses. Definitely a really friendly place to hangout and have a beer. Tuesday at 7pm is their trivia night. If you have a big group, you should come an hour early to reserve your seats but if you have a smaller group, 30 minutes early should be fine.

I've been a fan of this place for awhile! They consistently have tasty beer and great service. They make the most of their space with indoor seating as well as outdoor in better weather. Their trivia nights are really fun and get packed! Parking can be a challenge so give yourself some extra time to find a spot and potentially walk a bit.

Excellent Tuesday night trivia, great beer selection and a variety of NA and non-beer choices for folks who'd prefer something else.

I've been coming here just a few times each year for the past few years and have to say that they have either gotten a lot better at brewing, or my tastes have matured. Either way, the beer here is really good. They rank the many, many beers on their menu from light to dark with both the IBU and ABV tastings for each. This is great for both the experienced and novice beer drinkers. And while I'm bummed that they don't offer free tasters, you can still sample the beers for a $1 donation to a local charity. The month I visited, the samples benefited a local senior center, which is good since I will be living in one before I know it, especially with all the beer I drink!The beertender the last time I visited was very knowledgeable and guided me to some great beers. They don't serve food but you can bring food in and they often have food trucks outside. They also allow kids and dogs. The only downside is that parking can be tight, but during the colder months they open up their beer garden for parking which helps. Another plus that I rarely see is that they serve some beers directly from the kettle. It doesn't get fresher than that!

Oh my, I like it here! The vibe is so fun and the people that work here so nice! They offer amazing beer and if you have friends with you that prefer wine or cider, they have that too! There is a large indoor area and a nice outdoor area so you can pick your place to gather with friends. I will be back soon. I had a great time.

R.I.P. Cairn One of our favorite gathering places with some of the most delicious beer. I always looked forward to sampling the latest version of Hoptraverse, my wife loved Sippy Cup, and the Golden Anbessa is one of the best beers I've ever had. The people were always so kind and helpful, and being located right on the Burke-Gilman made for a lively environment. Thanks for the memories, Cairn.- J & K

I love this brew pub! Great selections of beer-I love their sour. My family likes to head here when they have a food truck we like or are interested in trying. I recommend Mexicuban and where ya at Matt's. There is plenty of seating inside and out (weather permitting. Lots of people bring their dogs in the summer. Family friendly. Great spot in Kenmore.
