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. There are eight stops worth making.
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 — 2821 Hewitt Ave
At Large is the craft enthusiast’s spot. A converted warehouse that used to house The Everett Herald printing operations — they brew on-site and specialize in growler and keg sales alongside taproom pours. On sunny days the west-facing roll-up doors open for a Puget Sound view that makes the beer taste 10% better. Cider options available alongside the beer. This is where you’ll find people who know what a dry-hopped saison is and have opinions about it.
3. Crucible Brewing / U-Neek and Crucible
Everett’s critically acclaimed craft brewery. Voted best brewery in Everett by local readers and earning raving fans across the region. Forward-thinking beers with unusual ingredients and techniques — this is not the place to order something safe. No food service, but food trucks frequently park outside. The staff loves what they do and it shows.
4. Obsidian Beer Hall — Downtown
One of Yelp’s consistently top-rated breweries in Everett for 2026. A spacious taproom with a large draft selection. 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
A newer addition to the Everett scene with growing buzz. Rotating tap list with an emphasis on approachable styles done well. Worth a stop as the scene continues to develop.
6. Middleton Brewing — 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
A solid community taproom making its presence felt in Everett’s growing brewery ecosystem. 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.
