Nine Yards Brewing

Went for Trivia and drinks and really enjoyed it. They had N64 connected with Mario Kart, and the coffee stout was delicious.

Nine Yards Brewing. Good Beer Kid Friendly Had all the beers I’ll come back

You can hardly keep up with all the breweries opening these days, even when you try. If you’re not trying, forget it – just drink whatever sounds good. There are too many to keep up with. Whew. We now have two breweries right around the corner from one another, just off the Burke-​Gilman trail, ready with suds to quench your bikery rollerbladery thirst.
These guys have a great big warehouse space in Kenmore, where there’s a lot of light-​industrial stuff happening. Breweries are great at coming in to convert unused spaces, and that’s what’s happened here. You park out front in a lot where you feel like welders and machinists probably used to park when they showed up for work. Inside, there are massive high ceilings, and walls far enough apart that you could damn near lay out a football field. They’ve roughed in storage space, refrigerator space, and a couple distinct seating areas around the bar. The bathrooms are fairly basic.
The bar is the center of the room, and you can stop there for a beer, or continue past it for a tour of the brewhouse. There’s a TON of available space to add lots more tanks in the future, when they get to that point. There’s seating at the bar, and there are couches around the corner. In the main space, there are lots of tables and chairs under a projector throwing TV onto a giant wall across the room. This is clearly a fun place to watch the game, and they probably do movie nights as well.
The staff here have that bald tattooed quirkiness that’s very common to the beer industry, and they’re pouring a medium-​sized lineup of house beers. They’re still dialing in their system, so the beers aren’t quite ready for prime time yet, but they immediately and very cheerfully took a sour off our bill when we pointed out that it had gone completely flat. I love seeing all the progress in the beer business around here, and to watch things almost bursting at the seams with all this activity. The fact that these guys are right next to a major exercise thoroughfare and one of the quirkier outdoor tasting rooms around, well, that just makes it all the more fun.

The brewery is in a really nice space. Lots of room with a huge projection tv. I tried the strong red and the red sour. The strong red (I forgot the actual name) was a little watery for my tastes. I thought it would be more chewy. The sour red was real good. It had a very clean taste.

Great place! Friendly people and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. I love the Home Wrecker Red but all the beers are fabulous. There is a big screen TV too for watching the game. It is just a fun place to stop in and have a beer!

Favorite local hang out! The owners are awesome… Paul is my homie! Great beer and chill atmosphere. The huge projector screen is perfect for football. And they have the best food truck (Papa Bois) once a week or so!

This place is awesome for football games. Big screen, food truck and beer. Lots of seating and fireplace. Love this place.

Lately, I’ve been frustrated at going to places oversaturated with IPA’s and a total lack of stouts or porters (walked out of three establishments this past month because they didn’t have a dark beer). I was thrilled when a housemate told me about Nine Yards which is less than a mile from my front door.
The bartenders were personable, polite, prompt, and provided a positive experience. I got the milk stout on nitro which was so, so satisfying. It’s what I’ve been craving, but not finding, these past few weeks. Definitely wasn’t missing the presence of an IPA.
Atmosphere was pleasant, lots of solid wood — loved the bar counter. Two sports games were going on but they didn’t dominate the scene, which I appreciated. Loved seeing kids running around and the food truck out back.
Glad we’ve got them in town. I’ll be back.
Excited for them to be open for more hours.

Good beer! Horrible place to watch sports! All hours of daylight give an awful glare on the projection screen. They don’t serve food and most of the rotating variety of food carts that post up outside are over-​priced and sub-​par tasting food! People bring their kids which gives a good family atmosphere. 9Y has found great beer but is still searching for an identity as a «hang out.»

They are a great brewery with awesome, unique, flavorful beers. They have a huge projector TV, great for watching football. They do nerd trivia and other games on Thursday nights. They have food trucks as they don’t serve their own food but the trucks have always been great. Such a fun place, I highly recommend it!

Very cool feel — long bar, wood tables, and very welcoming atmosphere. Brewer took time to discuss his beer with us. Definitely will make this a regular stop.
That being said… a bit disappointed with the lack of light beers. No Bud Light, Miller Light, or even Michelob Ultra. Come on… throw a Ranier tap on there! Also a bit annoyed that they don’t offer any beers that aren’t on the menu. Oh well… there’s always 192…

I’m surprised how highly rated 9Yard is. I’m being generous with giving 2 stars. Upon walking in, we all loved the place. Cool feel, industrial warehouse brewery type. Liked the projection screen with football playing. Liked all the crafted tables and the super shellacked bar top!
We all went up to the bar to order a beer. Of course the first beer I wanted, the Red was out. Keep skimming down the menu board, in search of an IPA. Not one IPA could be found. Hmmm. Weird. We asked where the IPA’s were. One of the Brewers told us that they don’t like over hopped beer. They don’t taste the quality of the beer, so they don’t brew it.
Lesson 101 in brewing, you HAVE to appeal to the masses! Just because you personally don’t like something (especially something so mainstream and in demand as an IPA!!) doesn’t mean that you just don’t make them.
My husband has been dabbling in home brewing for almost 2 years, and we’ve discussed how important it is to «appeal to the masses». We don’t like ciders or sours but a lot of people do, so you can’t just rule out something because you don’t like it or can’t taste the quality of the beer. Pure craziness in my opinion.
So in the search for a beer, we tried a few little tasters. 2 blondes and a lager. They had 3 or 4 beers they were out of! They had more guest taps than their own! So I ended up choosing a guest tap (which is really against my beer-​religion when visiting a brewery!) But I didn’t like any of their beers enough to have a full pint. Sad and sorry to say.
I strongly recommend them partnering with some Brewers that can give them pointers on making IPA’s, or having a guest brewer try them out. A brewery needs to offer several types of beers on tap. Not just a few, and totally neglecting other types all together!
We will come again in another 3 months and give them a second chance. Maybe they will iron out their kinks. If not, we will just proceed next door instead.

We have checked out almost all the local brewerys and Nine yards by far has the best beer. They beers are very unique and amazing.

Great space. Great frindly service. Good beer and pinball! Love the food trucks. The red ale was very nice. I just couldn’t bring myself to click the 5 star with the lack of an IPA. It’s like the steakhouse that has to put a $ 20 burger on the menu because they know that’s what will sell. Sometimes you just have to cater to what the consumers want. And we want HOPS. We want IBUs. I may come change to 5 stars after I try your English Bitter.

Big thank you to the Nine Yards crew for staying open through the storm and power outage and providing a kid friendly place to watch the Hawks game this Saturday! We’ll definitely be back under normal operating conditions to sample all of their fine offerings.

So. This I had schooner of Stbn Milk Stout on nitro, topped off with the same milk stout infused (they run the tap through) French roast coffee beans. Highly recommend. But it’s a bit of an eye opener…
Great venue. Great staff. Right off the Burke-​Gilman trail. Bike on in.

Very cool space with natural wood benches and a huge protector with sports on. We’ve tried a few of their beers and some infused, they’re good, but I prefer their guest beers/​ciders more.
We’d love if they served their own food here, but they said they don’t have room for a kitchen. They do have chips and pretzels that cost $ 1; wish they’d just provide it free like other similar breweries. Whenever we’ve come here, there are no food trucks unfortunately.
We’ll be back though since they are walking distance to our house and they allow babies and kids :)

This new brewery located on the Burke-​Gilman trail is an awesome addition to the area! The space is awesome and large. With the ability to bring in pets and kids (aren’t they the same sometimes?) and awesome food trucks it is a great hang out.
The beer selection tends towards the English styles. Several taps are also infused with their custom designed infusing glass inline tanks. I enjoyed the Sours, Milk Stout and the Red.
The staff is very prompt and professional. Our pizza boxes and trash was cleared before we knew it and our beer glasses stayed full. Very attentive.

Went there with the kids and wife. Good location and the space is inviting. The brewery could be a cool spot but unfortunately the beer was flat and flavorless, along with the staff.
I should have tried the infused beer, maybe it would of had given it a bit more flavor but it seemed a little too gimmicky. I feel that a good beer should stand alone and not require infusion of any sort once it’s been brewed. The search continues…

Not quite open for business yet, but I can see that it’s getting close. The plan was to open «some time in June.»
