Obec Brewing

Allows outside food, great beer! What more do we need to ask?! Highly recommend, pet friendly as well

Oh Obec. Beers and breweries are my thing but this one is just bland to me for some reason.In my matching visits here they both were lukewarm, best I can describe it. I asked for sample off the menu on my initial visit and the staff doing pours seemed surprised I'd ask that, then further seemed bothered by the request. I thought this was almost a routine thing at breweries and I purposely try not to overdo it. I decided to dive into a beer straight into a beer on the return visit and skip sampling, a young lady this time seemed equally drab about doing pours. Maybe it was kind of late? Brewery was still pretty full though, well before last call.The selection seems small here, small but mighty is the aim perhaps? The porter 3 and Grant amber lager were the best I've had here but found them to be average.The look of Obec is nice though, it has a homey, brown decor and nice indoor-outdoor seating so that's a plus. Food truck is frequently outside waiting which is always good.I don't wanna say I won't come back, but Obec otherwise just seems to lag where all the other brew spots in the area are on full cruise. There are functions and events that have sounded interesting that take place here but when there lots of options around, interest fades.

A wonderful, down-to-earth and community-focused business! I came clear from Lakewood (the South one!) to experience Obec and I was not even a little bit sorry.Everyone from the staff-in-training to the owners are delightful and excited about their beer, their community, and their customer's experience.Being Czech lineage, there's not a ton of representation and it was so cool to see a familiar word - Obec being a blend of "community" and "family" in translation (literally a municipality, but it's meaning goes deeper) ... it's wonderful to see my own heritage reflected here. Grab the Holiday brews while you can!! Worth every penny. See you soon, Obec!

Was down in this side of town and wanted to try it out. The atmosphere is great here and as comfortable inside as well as outside on the covered patio. I'm into Czech Pilsners as I've been for quite a few years and finding it's becoming trendy as the replacement for the hazy beer craze. I like the beer at Obec and although I've not had but a few, I can tell they are doing it right.Definitely, if you're in the area checking out the other breweries, this is a place you should stop by and have a beer.

A cute little brewery that's tucked into a corner of Ballard -- it's located next to a ton of others, which makes it a great spot for brewery hopping! Obec has a ton of indoor seating as well as a large, outdoor patio complete with string lights. My friends and I stopped by to grab a beer and it was a great time! The bartenders were all super chill, sweet, and helpful. I loved the IPAs they had and will definitely be back to try more. Added bonus: they also have Serious Pie across the street to grab a quick bite to eat!

Eastern brew with nw flav but unfortunately the staff is incredibly conceited. I have asked them x2!how their flights work and they draw you into their instructions like a jerk. Learn how to communicate. Children protect d by a mother bearing b

Good outdoor venue, selection of beers and usually a decent food truck outside. Great place to hang out summer or winter.

COVID review:Obec Brewing has made many COVID modifications to their brewery that always make me feel safe. Upon arrival, they hand you their current guidelines they are following and direct you to a clean table.They have arrows to go in and order and another route to exit with your drinks. When you order beers, only one person is allowed in from your table, you pay immediately, and then bring the beers back to your table. When you do pay, there is a clear glass between you and the beer-tender. When you are done at your table, you flip a placard over that signals that your table needs to be cleaned before another person can sit there. Overall, I think Obec Brewing has done a great job with changing their layout and continue to make solid beers. They are still dog-friendly and have many tents and heaters set up for the winter too.

Excellent selection of main Czech beers. The Czech dark lager was truly amazing!Nice, friendly atmosphere with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating. Employees were very accommodating. Water jug with cups and dog bowls available inside, too. Obviously this brewery is very dog friendly.With so many breweries in this general vicinity, Obec is a stand-out. You'll want to stop here - especially if you like non-IPA beers. Highly recommended.

Great place to site outside, chill, and have a pint! Make sure to ask Devin for his recommendation. The English Bitter was delicious! I'll be back again soon!
