Lucky Envelope Brewing

Service has significantly improved. The guy that hasn't been very nice has been so much nicer. Not sure what happened for the differences, but things have gotten so much better. Attentive and nice! Beer is always good!

Decided to try a new brewery on our recent visit to Ballard, and in honor of the year of the Dragon we stopped by here. It was packed on a weekend day and we grabbed two of their lighter offerings - current selection skewed IPA and strange mix ins versus the classics. Beer was fine, outdoor seating pretty standard for a warehouse style brewery. Good times but Reuben's is still the GOAT.

Lucky Envelope Brewing was not on my radar AT ALL. But after getting the recommendation from multiple beertenders I knew I had to stop by.Lucky Envelope Brewing is a family-friendly craft brewery in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Their brewing philosophy is centered around "Culturally Inspired Beer". The brewery's recipes draw from modern and historic brewing styles and techniques. I got a flight of their beer and was impressed by the quality and ingenuity of flavors. Peanut Butter Cream Stout:A Cream Stout infused with real Peanut Butter. Smooth nutty flavors flow with the chocolate and roast of the base stout. Not in your face sweet, but just enough to bring back memories of PB chocolate ice cream. As a PB lover, I loved this beer.Italian Pilsner:An Italian-Style Pilsner brewed with Weyermann Eraclea Malt that was grown off of Italy's Adriatic Coast and hopped with Saphir and Hallertauer Mittelfrueh during late, whirlpool, and dry hopping. Crisp like a lagger, strong hop bitterness and spiciness. A great version of the Italian Pils.Halo Halo:A Sour made with Ube, Mango, and Coconut. I'm not usually a giant sour beer guy, but this was my favorite beer of the bunch. Reminded me a little of a tropical lassi drink with nice sweetness that wasn't cloying and strong mango / coconut flavors with just a medium-low acidic tartness. Helles Lager:A Helles that checked all the boxes of what you are looking for in a good Helles style lager._____

A great brewery! So glad we stopped here for a taste.Ordered two of their Helles Lagers, and they did not disappoint. Very smooth and easy drinking.Good service and nice atmosphere. Staff was very pleasant, and although this is not a super-huge establishment, it was very welcoming and comfortable.A memorable choice, for their beer quality, selection and the vibe in general.

6th and final stop on our "pub crawl". We all were looking forward to this stop because they were the only place that had a pumpkin beer on tap. Unfortunately this was the only beer that we tried, because most of the other offerings were IPAs, sours, or just too hoppy for us. The style of this pumpkin beer (cream stout) is one we haven't seen too often. Two of us thought the beer had good flavor and picked up subtle spice characteristics, but I just couldn't get any of it no matter how hard I tried. We took home a four pack to enter in our annual pumpkin beer tasting party, so time will tell how it ranks. Our 6 stop pub crawl adventure was a great way to spend our last day in Seattle. Now we're heading to hopefully enjoy a nice dinner before our flight back to Central California tomorrow morning.

Lucky Envelope - "Culturally inspired beer" is their tag line along with using modern and historic brewing techniques. I won't claim to know a lot about brewing, but I do like drinking it and most of the beers I've had here delivered.Some of my favorites have been the "Pumpkin emoji", ENIAC Mosai IPA, Lucky Lager and the Raspberry Sour ale to name a few. all different, but all really good. Most recently as of writing this, the Count Chocula Cream Stout is very good too. So hopefully this will become a seasonal visitor to the Luck Envelope line up.The beer options aren't huge, but the ones on tap are varied and many of them I enjoy. I really like the brew chart so when you get a flight, you can easily keep track of what you're drinking as well having the descriptor or brewer comments on the beer.Like a lot of the breweries in the area, there is a food truck that takes up residence right next to it and there is plenty of seating both indoor and out. Lastly the staff are pretty cool here and you may even get to chat with the owner if he's in.One of the best Breweries of the bunch in Ballard.

I've been wanting to try Lucky Envelope for the longest time. Although it was loud inside, the outside was chill with heated lamps yay.What I tried:- White rabbit yuzu pilsner: bright but couldn't really taste the rabbit- White rabbit milk stout: tasty, like a creamy root beer, I thought these flavors went together best- Double happiness chai stout: you can def taste the chai, a bit strong though (double happiness eh?)Overall I really like Lucky Envelope's creativity and seasonal drinks. Their staff was also really nice.

Lucky Envelope was such a treat! We went during their Lunar New Year event. They were very busy with lots of kids and dogs in attendance. It was so lovely to see people of all ages welcomed into this space. Despite being so busy, the beer tenders were able to work through the line quickly and offered thoughtful recommendations for anyone who asked. I ended up getting a tasting flight with their helles, yuzu Pilsner, white rabbit stout and Sea-Kobe 65th anniversary juicy IPA. Every beer was unique and tasty. Really clean flavors! You can tell they know what they're doing. Can't wait to visit again and try some more! Cheers!

Awesome, chill brewery with a great selection of sours and interesting flavor combos! I really liked the Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade Sour and my friends enjoyed their IPAs. Plenty of seating both indoors and out, as well as the usual brewery amusements like board games and merch for sale.

Beer was Normal! Beertender was cold and Made The whole group uncomfortable! Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a chill time
