Island Crafted Ales
Bainbridge Brewing is an independent craft brewery on Bainbridge Island with two public retail locations: Brewery & Taproom, located at Coppertop Park (all ages welcome); and Bainbridge Brewing Alehouse, in Downtown Winslow (ages 21 and over). We’re just a short ferry ride from downtown Seattle, or a quick drive along SR 305 across the Agate Pass Bridge from the Kitsap Peninsula.
We take great pride in our craft brewery and know there’s a lot that goes into making the island’s most delicious brews. We use only the very best ingredients to produce our craft beers, most of which are from great Northwest maltsters and Yakima Valley hop growers.
The Brewery & Taproom and the Bainbridge Brewing Alehouse both serve up more than just a deliciously cold pint of fresh beer. Our menus also include: several locally made tasty small plates and snacks, NW hard ciders, wines from island and other NW vintners, locally made Kombucha, non-alcoholic and gluten-free beers, and multiple soft drinks. Want more? Feel free to bring in a meal, call out for food delivery, enjoy locally made pizza and baked goods, or see what the rotating food trucks have to offer.

What is beer than releasing a beer on a Friday? Releasing TWO new beers on a Friday!
First up is our latest installment in our Sandbox Series: RANDOM NUG TEST IPA. This classic West Coast single Hop IPA is delightfully refreshing, coming in at 6.5% ABV. The traditional workhorse bittering hop, Nugget, shines through in this single hop beer with notes of apricot, melon & berries. Slightly sweet on first sip, this beer finishes dry leaving you wanting for more! This is the one and only batch, so get it while it lasts!
Second, a classic, our WING POINT WINTER ALE! An ode to the classic Pacific Northwest Winter Warmer, this dark, malty ale features notes of dark caramel, toffee, and raisins, while a hopback addition of fresh cut Doug Fir boughs add earthy, piney, and hoppy notes. At 6.8% ABV, Wing Point Winter packs enough punch to keep your insides warm and toasty this winter.
Both beers are currently on tap at our Brewery & Taproom location - they’ll be on tap at our Alehouse in the coming weeks!

🇬🇧 New beer and 5pm cask alert! 🇬🇧
Bring in this grey rainy weekend with our newest beer, Reverend Doctor Jones’ Flying Circus Nitro ESB - our take on the traditional Extra Special Bitter! This easy drinking, delightfully sweet & malty English ale will be served on Nitro to recreate the traditional creaminess of live cask ales. Made with Crisp No. 19 Marius Otter malt, English yeast and East Kent Golding hops this beer gets back to its UK roots with a mild and slightly fruity flavor profile.
To really help our ESB get back to its origins, today around 5pm at our Brewery/Taproom we will be tapping a live ale cask of it! Naturally carbonated, this beer will have a much softer flavor and mouthfeel. This cask version will only last so long but it will be available on Nitro at both our Taproom and the Bainbridge Brewing Alehouse for the next few months. Coming in at 4% Rev. Dr. Jones’ Flying Circus is the perfect mate for a cool and rainy season ahead! Cheers!

🚨Bar seating is back at the Taproom for vaccinated guests! 🚨
Beginning today, 10/21, we have brought back our dearly missed bar seating at the Brewery & Taproom for guests who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 who are 12 or older. We believe requiring vaccination for seating in such close proximity to our staff and other patrons is the best way to protect our staff and guests while bringing back one of the most enjoyed aspects of the Taproom! When taking a seat at the bar please have your ID and CDC Vaccination Card ready for our bar staff to check. We will also be accepting photos of the vaccine cards. We will not be checking vaccine cards for our other indoor seating or our outdoor seating at this time.
Please remember that our staff is human and any harassment regarding this policy will not be accepted. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we roll this policy out! Cheers!

A Douglas Fir bough in the hop back can only mean one thing - it’s Wing Point Winter brew day! Nestled in with some Amarillo hops, the island grown Doug Fir boughs add a distinct earthy and piney character, providing much needed balance to this big amber ale! Look for Wing Point Winter to hit taps in the next couple of weeks!
