Dirty Couch Brewing

If I have my beer history correct, the brewmaster at DCB was enticed away from Urban Family, which used to be located a stone's throw away in Magnolia. The carrot the owners dangled to secure his tenure as their beer-making magician was the smartest business decision they made ... DCB is among my top three favorite breweries in Seattle. They specialize in creative sours that will blow your mind and/or palette.I love the location, I love that it takes some effort to get to the location, and I love that the effort involved in getting to the location helps keep the vibe alive for serious beer enthusiasts to enjoy some seriously good beer.

I whizzed by here on my scooter, heading to Ballard, and screeched to a halt. I love beer and the huge following it currently has, so I couldn't pass up the random brewery in what appears to be the middle of not much.Congratulations DCB on having the sourest beer I've ever tasted in my life. I thought I could handle anything - turns out I could barely finish my tasting of it (this is not an insult in any way). The other 3 beers I tried were also fairly unique, which I appreciated.My one complaint, that almost lowered this review to a 3 star, was the price. A flight of beer for $15 was a bit too expensive in my opinion. It would be nice to see lower prices for people that want to give your beer just a taste.Thanks for the information and experience!

WOW! Every single beer I had on my taster (Thank you Groupon!) was delicious. Like, for real. And the deal was fanastic. Four 5 oz. pours and a full pour. The menu rates the beers on sour/pucker/values. I read reviews and was expecting super sour not so tasty sours. NOT TRUE! Delicious sours. Even the most lip puckering ones were absolutely yummy. Now, I am writing this review after having only one of the most higly lip puckering flavors. Incandescence, a cheery flavored sour on their board listed as a lip puckering sour. Which is they're really sour sours. I loved it! Sorry Not Sorry was a sour one level below the Incandescence. Yummy too! Rainbow Goddess IPA was Hoppy, but not too hoppy. Nobody's Business is a Saison. Super delicious with a refreshing ginger flavor. For my full pour, (the Groupon came with a flight and a full pour), I had another sour called Hemingways Breakfast. I overhead the description as Mojito Like. For real, so good! Every beer I tasted was on point. The previous reviews about the sours being too sour, well, sounds like a personal problem. This brewery brought me back to memories of my favorite NoCal brewery sours from Fieldwork, Drakes, and Alvarado Street. Legit as Shi.... Parking is weird here as this location is on the corner. the building is super cool with a television playing The Office. Upstairs is an aire that feels like it used to be a studio. Plenty of outdoor, doggy friendly, seating too. A super cool brewery. So glad I found it. Happy Yelping.

Dirty Couch is highly creative in their beer recipes and seems like they have a fun time naming them as well.This brewery has lots of sours and farm ales which is something I always enjoy. Steve and I had some of the beer that they had on tap and we enjoyed what we had so much we went ahead and bought a few bottles of other beers as well that weren't on tap at the time.Steve had a very enjoyable wheat sour beer which was so very good! I had a wonderful vanilla porter which was awesome!The bottles of beer I got was the Return to Donut which was an apricot sour ale and the BBCM which was a Black Corn Sour Ale.And of course some swag was purchased... a t-shirt.I usually make a strong effort to take a picture of a beer for each new brewery I visit but alas I was going through a phone transition at the time and no images survived from that previous phone save for a picture of the Dirty Couch Brewing sign I snatched off my Instagram account.

The owner is extremely knowledgeable. We came in not entirely sold on sour beers and left loving them. If you are looking to learn about sours and have interest in trying new beers don't look any further.

My friends and I literally stumbled upon dcb after finishing a drizzly & brisk walk at Discovery Park on a Saturday afternoon.Truthfully, we were drawn in by the minimalist logo and the dogs we saw sitting inside. I'm so glad we did!Most of the menu is sour beers, which can be very polarizing if you're not in the mood for it. Luckily, they have a couple IPAs on the menu too.What I enjoyed was their option to get a 5oz pour ($2) for all of the beers on tap - not as much of a commitment as a 12oz pour! We ended up sharing multiple beers amongst our group in the short time we were there. Our favorites were the Plausibility Whiskey Sour Porter and the Irregularity Blackberry Sour Blonde. There's a decent amount of seating, some board games, and service was very friendly. When I come back to Seattle in the future, I'll make an effort to stop by dcb!

Love this brewery! If you like sours this is definitely in the top 3 places to try in Seattle. Lots of space outdoors including a tent covered area and complete uncovered seating. Hidden in the industrial part of magnolia but it is worth a visit.

My roommate and I went here for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it! The bartender was incredibly sweet and took her time to explain everything on tap. She was extremely knowledgeable and able to find the perfect drink for both of us. The upstairs seating area was the perfect place to get some work done and has a super nice view.

On my way to another brewery, I passed by this one that had a lot of people. It was a bit hard to see while intending to drive past because it was at bottom of a hill. But, since the other one leff a bit to be desired, I circled back to check it out.Focused on barreled sours, they have a narrow fridge ti grab from.One issue I found is the fridge was backing onto the street and the bench was right in front of the fridge. So, while browsing what to buy it was hard to read the small print and what was in the fridge.And there were many different varieties so it was hard to keep track of as well.The bottled sour I got was very good. The ipa (I needed something easier to drink as well) was not as good.Regardless, definitely a nice place to get some nice bottles to share.Why is it called dirty couch, I didn't look around to look for one. But maybe cause Brett smells like dirty socks?

It was calm and quiet on a Saturday evening. How did I never know that there's a second floor? It looks like it'd be a good place to hang out with a bigger group. We had non sours and a sour and played a card game we brought, but found out that they have quite a selection of board games also.
