Everett Breweries: Complete 2026 Guide to 6 Stops Plus 2 Detours

Everett has one of the best brewery scenes in Snohomish County — and most people outside the city have no idea. Here’s your complete guide to hitting all the major stops in a single Saturday.

We’re not talking about a bar crawl. We’re talking about a curated tour of genuinely distinct brewing operations — each with a different vibe, a different specialty, and a different reason to exist. Start in the afternoon and pace yourself. Six stops are in Everett itself; two more — in Mill Creek and Snohomish — are short detours that round out the trail.

1. Scuttlebutt Brewing — 1205 Craftsman Way

Start here. Scuttlebutt is the institution — family-owned for decades, now in a purpose-built building overlooking the Port of Everett Marina on Craftsman Way. The waterfront patio is dog-friendly and one of the best outdoor drinking spots in the city. The menu is full brewpub fare: fish and chips, clam chowder, burgers, prime rib on dinner nights. Beer highlights include the Big Dumper Beer (their Cal Raleigh Mariners collab lager — light, crushable, perfectly marketed), the Wapiti IPA, and rotating seasonals. Hours: Mon–Thu 11am–9pm, Fri–Sat 11am–10pm, Sun 11am–9pm. Taproom at 3310 Cedar St also available for a more stripped-down experience.

2. At Large Brewing — 2730 W Marine View Dr

At Large is the craft enthusiast’s spot on the waterfront at 2730 W Marine View Drive. It brews on site — 14 rotating house taps, plus cider, a seltzer or guest tap, canned wine and non-alcoholic options. The patio has firepits and sunset views over the bay; made-to-order 10-inch pizzas run Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with food trucks on Thursdays and Fridays. Dog- and family-friendly. Hours: Mon–Thu 3–9pm, Fri–Sat 2–10pm, Sun 2–8pm. This is where you’ll find people who know what a dry-hopped saison is and have opinions about it.

3. U-Neek Brewing (formerly Crucible) — 909 SE Everett Mall Way

The former Crucible Brewing, relaunched as U-Neek Brewing under new owners Erik Andresen and Johanna Watson: the taproom at 909 SE Everett Mall Way, Suite D440 reopened in February 2025, and Crucible favorites like the Arc Furnace Pilsner pour alongside new U-Neek releases. Forward-thinking beers with unusual ingredients and techniques — this is not the place to order something safe. Family- and pet-friendly, with rotating food trucks and trivia nights. Hours: Mon–Sat 12–10pm, Sun 12–8pm. The staff loves what they do and it shows.

4. Obsidian Beer Hall — 1420 Hewitt Ave

A 21-and-over beer hall in downtown Everett — it pours other breweries’ beers rather than brewing its own. A spacious taproom with a large rotating draft selection of Pacific Northwest beers. Food is consistently well-done. If you’re doing the trail with a mixed group — some craft nerds, some casual drinkers — Obsidian is where everyone will be happy. Friendly staff, solid menu, no pretension.

5. 4 Stitch Brewing — Nearby Detour: Mill Creek

Not in Everett itself — 4 Stitch’s taproom is in Mill Creek (16709 9th Ave SE), a short drive south, and it earns the detour slot on this trail. A family-run microbrewery with a rotating tap list emphasizing approachable styles done well, a dog-friendly patio and a kid-friendly board-game area.

6. Middleton Brewing — 607 SE Everett Mall Way

The experimental stop. Middleton uses adjunct ingredients — coconut, peanut butter, fruit — in their beers, which is either your thing or it isn’t. If you’re curious, this is the place to try something genuinely different. Dog-friendly, serves pizza and paninis, and won’t judge you for ordering the peanut butter stout.

7. Three Bull Brewing — Nearby Detour: Snohomish

Also not in Everett — Three Bull’s tap house is in Snohomish (127 Avenue C), the trail’s second detour. An award-winning craft brewery and pinball haven: classic pinball machines line the back room, the room is pet-friendly, and open-mic nights run on Thursdays. Friendly neighborhood vibe, good rotating draft selection.

8. Tapped at the Port — Port of Everett Waterfront

End here, specifically for the rooftop. Tapped Public House opened at the Port of Everett in March 2026 and has the largest waterfront rooftop deck in Snohomish County. Pacific Northwest-inspired scratch kitchen menu, floor-to-ceiling marina views, roll-up doors when the weather cooperates. The Bay Shrimp Roll is port-location exclusive. After a full day of brewery hopping, watching the marina from that rooftop is an objectively correct way to end the evening. Hours vary — check before heading over. Located at 1 Port of Everett Waterfront, Everett WA.

Practical Trail Notes

Designate a driver or use rideshare — there is no responsible version of this trail that involves driving between stops. Most breweries open between 11am–2pm on weekends. Plan 45–60 minutes per stop for a proper visit. The full trail in one day is ambitious; splitting into a north Everett loop and a waterfront loop across two days is the smarter call if you want to do it right.
