During Washington’s phase two reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic, breweries and bars can have limited seating, while also selling beer in growlers, cans, and kegs for takeout and delivery. But even those that have opened expansive patios for outdoor dine-in service are still keeping to-go options available, and even delivery in some cases. For those who enjoy hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, farmhouse ales, and more, here’s what’s out there right now. Since services shift often now, it’s best to call ahead to check about hours — and if you see any changes, or if there’s a place you’d like to see on the list, send us a tip.

Rooftop Brewing Company

Rooftop’s fans have followed this brewery from a nano-sized wonder stuffed inside a garage in an alley to the newer, bigger digs near the Queen Anne side of the Ballard Bridge.

The Central District’s acclaimed brewery with IPAs, pale ales, baltic porters, and oak-barreled beer has an online store for preorders and curbside pickup, as well as some delivery options ($100 minimum).

Known as one of the only gluten-free breweries in the Seattle area, this spot has beer selections that are good enough to stand on their own, with depth of flavor and plenty of finish. There are takeout options, food to-go, and shipping within Washington state.

Seapine Brewing Company

Copy Link

This Sodo brewery makes some outstanding beers that represent some of the best local takes on Northwest-favorite IPAs and pale ales, and the Sea Witch stout, peach gose, and farmhouse saison are top picks for a break from the hop-bombs. It’s currently open for to-go growler fills, cans, and merchandise sales.

The Beer Junction

Copy Link

The first bottle shop of its kind in West Seattle mourned the loss of its founder, Morgan Herzog, earlier this year, but its legacy continues.

The Sodo brewery’s impressive growth has allowed it to brew a diversity of exciting beers, from the Southern Resident Hazy IPA to the more crushable Pilchuck Pilsner. Its Woods tasting room is now open for bottles, growler fills, and some packaged goods.

Machine House Brewery

Copy Link

This Georgetown brewery is selling its acclaimed English cask ales in cardboard containers that hold sealed plastic pouches for takeout and delivery. According to brewer Jake Dworkin, the low carbonated beer holds up much longer in the bag than it does in growlers, which let in more oxygen. The taproom is also open with limited seating capacity.

Beveridge Place Pub

This West Seattle institution has a vibe that feels like one’s beer-loving buddy’s living room. It has a selection of growler fills and bottles to-go, available for preorder at its online store, plus some limited seating at its outdoor garden, with a rotating food truck.
