WHY DYSTOPIAN STATE?

When we opened Dystopian State Brewing Co., we wanted to create a place for families and friends in our community to gather and share the joy of great beer.

 

As craft beer lovers ourselves, we’re committed to brewing unique and interesting beers and serving them in a cozy, welcoming taproom. We believe the best beer is made with simple, natural ingredients. The result is 18 different taps of bold, incredible flavor from the first sip to the last drop.

 

Every special occasion needs a toast, and our event space is the perfect spot to raise your glass while overlooking the Puget Sound.

We cherish the diversity of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education and political perspective.

There’s something for everyone here, and we can’t wait to share our passion for great beer with you. Our mission has always been to share well-crafted beer with everyone in our community. 

 

The joy is in the journey.  Stop by for a drink.  Tour the brewery.  

 

Teach us.  

 

Grow with us.
