Cloudburst Brewing

Small tap room a little off Pike Place Market.The staff was super friendly and the beers I tried were excellent. What else do you need?

Small taproom so finding seating can be tough. Beer was okay, didn't find anything that wet my palette enough. Really wish they did flights. Their hazy ipa isn't bad, though.

Cloudburst Brewing was the first of many breweries that we visited while in Seattle. You can find them just down the street from Pike Place Market.We walked in and they had about 13 beers available on tap (one was sold out). I had the Endless Summer Nights English Summer Ale and my dad had the No Mistakes German Style Schwarzbier. Seating is a bit limited and they do not have any outdoor seating. It was moderately busy for a Sunday afternoon but we were still able to find a seat inside.I enjoyed my beer well. It had the perfect taste to it when it comes to having a light tasting beer. My dad had other feelings for his beer, saying that it was ok, but not the best around. He described it as way too sweet and chocolatey and couldn't finish the whole thing.This place is fairly small. Think of it like a garage with several tables and barrels inside. Outside there is a water dish for people who bring their dogs here, which is smart for those hot days. They're closed on Monday's and Tuesday's and we're here until Wednesday, with Sunday being the only day we could visit them.

Cloudburst Brewing is an IPA heavy brewery with two locations in Seattle. I visited their location closer to downtown (closer to where I was staying at the time) later in the day to try out some of the great beers they have.Sadly for me (great for them!), a lot of them were already sold out by the time I got there in the evening, but I still was able to try two very interesting beers.Say Hi to Your Dad for Me:A West Coast Double Red Ale that took Silver this year at the Great American Beer Festival. They use multiple types of Crystal Malt (crazy right), and a hop bill of Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe, and Mosaic. I'm telling you, this gave me vibes of the old school craft beer movement of heavy Caramel malt based IPAs, bitter goodness, and just a hint of sweetness. Damn delicious if I say so myself. Made me want to put some New Balance shoes on and mow the lawn.Old Tubthumper:A Barrel Aged Blended Barleywine that consists of 55% Aged in Stainless + 30% Aged in Westland American Whiskey Barrels + 15% Aged in Westland Peated Barrels. Much more on the bitter side for a barleywine (old school American Barleywine-esque), some tannins from the wood, and you even get some of that peat character from just that 15%._____

So so beer. No place to sit in. Strictly a takeout place despite covid restrictions removed. Service none. Pricey.Beer tastes like as expected; beginner breweries' level. Taste pretty much like everywhere else.

Very very good beer. Service is fine. Ambiance is no frills. Nice easy walk from the market. I like to stop in "on the way" to the train on my way home from work.

Chill brewery, there is usually a non-beer option and the dumpling truck is a must visit. We like that our dog was allowed in as well!

Traveling from Denver, my husband and I are big beer people so of course we had to try a bunch of breweries in the area while visiting Seattle. Cloudburst was high on our list when we heard that they had some collaborations with one of our favorite Denver breweries, Our Mutual Friend.This no-frills brewery has truly perfected its craft. They had a huge selection of great beers, and since I love a good coffee flavor in my beers, I went for the Inquiring Grinds - a milk stout with coffee & cardamom - yum!There's not a ton of seating in here and they don't have food, so we brought our own cheese curds from Beecher's down the street. Good beer + cheese in a chill environment - what's better than that??Highly recommend this spot if you're into good beer!

My sister took me here and said their brews were amazing. She was right. Everything I tried was awesome! Staff was great. We did have to wait a while for a table since seats were limited, but once we got a table, we enjoyed every moment. The brews that stood out for me on our visit:Opalescent Tree Shark: this was my favorite. I like dank stuff and this lived up to its awesome name!Wreck my plans: This was a close 2nd. Just something about a strong DIPA bursting with flavor that can't be passed up. Also lives up to its name. I didn't have any plans, so I got a few of these. =DTook home a bunch of pints. I'm a fan.

Concrete walls, wood benches, steel chairs, stools at a little bar. Little electric space heaters. Terrible acoustics....But none of that matters the beer here is extremely good. Probably you've never had such fresh beer.First time I visited that had 'none more dank', recently I've been enjoying 'search engine optimization'. The names don't matter ask the bar tender and other customers what to get.They have 'food' in the form of little plastic wrapped cheese n cracker snacks. It's not food. Bring your own food to eat there.As of 2023 and now into 2024 this is the best west coast beer I know in seattle.
