Bainbridge Island Brewing

Bainbridge Brewing is an independent craft brewery located on Bainbridge Island, Washington, operating since 2012. The company runs two public retail locations: the Brewery & Taproom at Coppertop Park, which is open to all ages, and the Bainbridge Brewing Alehouse in Downtown Winslow, which is restricted to patrons 21 and over. The brewery is co-owned by Chuck and Russell Everett and Rob Frease, with Russell Everett serving as Brewmaster. Everett, a Bainbridge Island native and experienced homebrewer turned professional, brings both technical precision and creative experimentation to the brewing process.

The brewery produces a diverse portfolio of craft beers, including year-round staples, special seasonal releases, and one-off experimental batches under the Sandbox Series label. It also produces barrel-aged and sour beers, reflecting a broad range of brewing techniques and style exploration. Ingredients are sourced primarily from Northwest maltsters and Yakima Valley hop growers, emphasizing regional quality and supply chain integrity.

Beyond its taproom offerings, Bainbridge Brewing distributes its products to numerous grocery and specialty beer and liquor stores throughout Western Washington, as well as local pubs and restaurants via draft accounts. This distribution footprint positions it as a recognized regional craft brand, not solely a taproom-dependent operation.

Both locations offer complementary beverage options including NW hard ciders, wines from island and Northwest vintners, locally made kombucha, non-alcoholic beers, gluten-free beers, and soft drinks. Food offerings include locally sourced small plates, snacks, and rotating food truck partnerships. The taproom environment is community-oriented, pet-friendly on patios, and designed to serve as a social hub for residents and visitors alike.

The brewery is accessible from downtown Seattle via a short ferry ride, and from the Kitsap Peninsula via SR 305 across the Agate Pass Bridge, making it a destination for both local regulars and regional visitors. Bainbridge Brewing has earned recognition as an award-winning craft brewery, reflecting its commitment to quality, consistency, and innovation across its beer lineup.
