Ghostfish Brewing Company

Good tap selection with a mix of creative and very drinkable beer. I’ve come on a Saturday evening and this is a great chill place to hang out. Large open ceilings and the noise is still down to a non yelling level. I definitely recommend you come give this brewery a chance!

Decent beer. Cool place. The downfalls…
The pricing. $ 10 for 4 tasters. I don’t think tasters should be more than $ 1.50 each. Another downfall, the lack of selection of beers. Of course I always look for IPAs. Ghostfish only had one on tap. It was a grapefruit IPA. Pretty good. Fresh, hoppy IPA. They had a black IPA but it was out. Would’ve loved to try that!
They had pizza for food, but ridiculously expensive for my taste. $ 13-​$ 17 for a pizza. And what looked like to be a small pizza.
We ordered Jimmy Johns. They deliver here.
After we were done with our beers, we went to close out.
As always we asked for a growler. Jesus Christ, $ 10 for an empty. So ridiculous. Shouldn’t charge more than $ 7 for an empty growler. But guess what, we collect them and already committed to buying the empty.
Cool atmosphere and pretty decent beer. But expensive pricing will keep me from coming back.

Extremely impressed!
The brewery is beautiful. Very simple and clean. They also have two TVs and show the Seahawks game (good hideaway for a place to watch the game!)
I had the Grapefruit IPA today and it was delicious. My friends also had a Hefeweizen that was brewed like an IPA, which had a very unique flavor. Many options to choose from.
The food is also great! Was pleasantly surprised that this pizza is GLUTEN FREE! I’m not normally a huge fan of gluten free food and usually go running for the hills at the sight of anything GF. We ordered a few of the pizzas here and I enjoyed them more than most frozen and delivery pizzas I’ve consumed. The Olympus was my favorite! Still packed with flavor and the toppings were awesome.
I will definitely be back. Thanks for changing my opinion of gluten free pizza and proving it can, in fact, be tasty!

Ghostfish Brewing won several Great American Beer Festival medals. Granted, they were all in the what must surely be a newly created category of «gluten free beer». Not really my thing but when I called to see if the Raiders game was being shown on their TVs, the gentleman that answered said he wished it was because he’s a Raiders fan too. That’s enough to earn my business.
Gluten and beer go together like love and marriage. You can’t have one without the other. Normally, «if it’s gluten free, it’s not for me». Or at least I thought until I tried a few of their innovative beers.
Their samplers are 7oz pours for $ 2.50−3.50 which is basically a half pint. Not too shabby. Full pints were $ 5 – 7. Pretty decent pricing considering they could probably charge whatever the hell they wanted to and gluten free bandwagoners, as well as people with actual Celiac’s disease would pony up for it. Where else are you gonna go?
Their Watchstander stout was my favorite of the bunch. The roasted millet made beer didn’t taste much different than ones normally made with roasted barley.
The Purplepeopel Eater surprised me with its complexity. A purple maize ale isn’t something I would normally go for but it kinda works.
The Vanishing Point Pale was pretty solid but had an odd taste present. It was pretty good to the point you *almost* wouldn’t know there’s something amiss about it.
The Grapefruit IPA was a disappointment but that’s only because I’m comparing it to the greatness that is Sculpin. Hops don’t contain gluten so why not go buckwild on this one?
They had one Vegan option on their gluten-​free pizza menu, but we didn’t partake as it was a bit pricey at $ 19. Still much appreciated though.
I was pleasantly surprised by what they were able to do without gluten. Gluten-​free beer has come further along than their pastry counterparts in a much shorter time period since the whole GF craze kicked off years ago.

This place is so great. Was there last week and could not wait to have an IPA and some pizza. To boot got to hang with the awesome boys of summer!!!

I loved the beer here when I visited a couple of months ago. Love that it’s dog friendly and they have Jenna. The owner was so friendly!
Can anyone tell me if they have any pumpkin beers for fall?! Or other fall seasonal beers?! Thanks!!!

Best BEER ever. The variety of beers is impressive for any brewery, but astonishing considering that gluten is out of the picture. A brew dream come true! Wonderful menu, friendly staff, and a great deal on 7oz pours ($ 2.50 each). We visited two weeks in a row and were able to try 8 different beers.

Great brewery in the SODO hood, not far from the light rail stop and next door to Silver Platters! I Love the logo and shiny black and silver décor, garage style large windows and air conditioning on those hot days! The gluten free craft beers are very tasty, Vanishing Point Pale was my go to for my summer choice and Evolution Stout, one of seasonals was a notable favorite. My hubby is all about grapefruit ipa here. They focus and brew Gluten free beer but also have ciders, wine and a guest tap, so something for everyone. The gluten free pizzas (from SODO) are pretty tasty though you pay a lil more for the gluten free just like you would any pizza place. I really love the atmosphere, friendly with a resident dog laying near the bar and it seems to have a festive and ever changing crowd, I’ve been here for live music, trivia nights. Concert goers nearby make a fun people watch, all gOod times. You can purchase cans or growlers to go!
Note: in SODO and a brewery so they tend to close earlier than most reg bars. Check em out!

Ghostfish is rad. They have seven or eight of their own beers on tap, plus some guest brews and ciders, and they’re serving gluten free pizza. We had the pesto thin crust pizza and the meat-​tastic thick crust pizza, along with some beer flights. I particularly liked the thick-​crust pizza (it’s tough to find a good thick GF crust), and the Grapefruit IPA and Coffee Stout were the standouts in my flight.
Because they don’t have a full restaurant license yet, the pizzas can’t be modified, and kids aren’t allowed. The guys said this is in the works, but for now, no kiddos and no holding the peppers. I’m stoked to see the evolution of this place, but for now it was nice to go out for some delicious beer and pizza, something so many people take for granted.

1-​AMAZING BEER
2-​Dog friendly
3-​Great, friendly service
4-​Easy to find and good atmosphere
Ghostfish has been in our sights long before trying their delicious brew selection at the WA Brewers Festival. In case you didn’t know, they are a 100% gluten-​free brewery. My fiancé suffers from celiac’ disease and has been unable to enjoy beer for well over a decade. I should say decent tasting GF beer.
As a big beer consumer and enthusiast, I give Ghostfish two thumbs up for what they are doing in the GF arena. Their beer tastes delicious. Heck, it beats a lot of regular beer selections out there! With Ghostfish on the scene, beer drinkers, GF or not, should no longer fear this type of product.
It’s sometimes hard to find pet-​friendly locations as well, which is another ace for Ghostfish. Their taproom is dog friendly, and our little pup loved all the action going on.
Something to note: let’s talk about the granola they sell. It’s made from the spent grain used during brewing. Why are more places not doing stuff like this!!! Good for you Ghostfish! And again, it is freaking delicious!
A recommendation: The Watchstander Stout and Summer Blonde are fantastic.
If you are a Seattle beer enthusiast, you NEED to know about and visit Ghostfish.

What a great place. We came in with our two giant berners and sat down to play some apples to apples and card games on a lazy day with some friends we hadn’t seen. We all did tasting flights and the beer was very good. We were able to relax and just enjoy ourselves without being pressured to leave when we finished our flights.

Ghostfish is a new and experimental kind of brewery. Their beer is used with different kinds of grains like millet, buckwheat and brown rice. When I went here they had a lot of their beer selection tapped out so they didn’t have a lot of variety. I got a golden ale with millet which was very interesting, experimental to say the least. The staff was hit and miss on friendliness. One bartender seemed annoyed and another one seemed cheerful.
Despite not having much on tap from the looks of the brewery it looked like their beer was being prepared to be distributed all over the metro area and indeed in a few days I saw some of their beer on a shelf at the grocery store.

I’m not gluten free but I thoroughly enjoy their beers! My fiancé swears he can taste the difference from a regular beer but I cannot. The Watchstander Stout is on point! I highly recommend it. I also tried a grapefruit IPA during their grand opening party which was delicious.
The taproom is nice and large and has plenty of seating and a cool industrial vibe. Plenty of parking behind the building available. I didn’t try any but apparently they have gluten free pizza too.
The employees are all friendly and knowledgable. A great place to meet friends for a pint before a game!

I went to the grand opening of this bar and it was a lot larger than I expected. It was a short drive for me since I live in West Seattle. The location is in SoDo on the left-​hand side of Aston Manor. The décor inside is simple yet chic. When you walk in there are tables where you can sit and drink. To your left is the bar. The wall is lined up with several glasses with their logos facing at you. Additional seating is located near the large glass windows as well. The wooden panel is lined with a large chalkboard menu that displays most of their beer selection.
What makes this place different is that they have mostly gluten free beers. The décor has a lot of window light and they also have a small dance floor or space where bands could play.
I gave it four stars because there isn’t enough seating. There should be more tables and chairs. But I liked how they opened the back of the building up as a beer garden.
The grand opening was pretty successful! This place is also dog friendly!!!

I can see this place being really loved by people with gluten-​free diets! I mean it’s right up their alley. However, me not really caring about gluten-​free but an avid beer lover I was slightly disappointed.
Located in central seattle, it’s not too far from downtown. The ambiance is chill, relaxed, love the open space, and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming.
I got the flight which included 4 beer of your choice. I got the coppe, blonde, nut brown, and wit. Of all, I enjoyed coppe the best, it had a nice citrusy note. It seems like they raise their price from $ 7 to $ 10 now, which is still a good deal in my book.
Most of the choices I’ve tried had a barley or wheat undertaste which I wasn’t really used to. I’m not a connoisseur of beers neither do I live a gluten free lifestyle, but for someone who do love beers I felt like it was missing something, felt a little flat almost.
Nonetheless, if you’re accommodating for someone who’s on a strict gluten free diet or lives a lifestyle of gluten free, I really suggest this place. It’s a cool place nonetheless and there are a lot of options for everyone.

Not your typical brewery as the gluten free filters out the typical beer drinking crowd. You’re left with a eclectic crowd that must equate gluten free with low calorie as found the place hopping with groups of women. I would have thought I was hanging at a winery. That said, the beer is pretty good although a bit muted to my taste. They also have gluten free pizza and the toppings were great although the crust seemed not to have risen and was a bit doughy in texture.
I can see this as a great place to hang with you gluten intolerant friends and it’s quite close to a great record store and the gastropub across the street.

As someone with celiac disease I was so excited that Ghostfish finally opened last Thursday! My husband (who’s not gluten free) and I went yesterday and loved it! The space is nice and looks like it would hold a lot of people. Being greeted by the resident dog was nice also :)
The beers were great, I had a flight of the Red, Brown, Pale, and Stout and loved them all. The pale and the stout were my favorites. I have never seen a gluten free stout before and the guys at the bar said they weren’t aware of another one either.
My husband liked the pale and the stout the best too, and he is not gluten free and picky with stouts. He also had the one non-​gluten free beer they had (they said they’d always offer one from another local brewery, I believe). They also had cider and wine to choose from as well.
They also have gluten free pizzas! There were quite a few to choose from and the one we had (the Mt. Olympus) was delicious.
Great service, great beer, I’m definitely going back.

I never thought gluten free beer could be good, but I was oh so wrong! Ghostfish is AWESOME! What makes this place great? 1. The Beer 2. The Service 3. The Space
The beer is excellent! I especially liked their Vanishing Point Pale and their Belgian Red, but the sampler is definitely the way to go to see what you like. There wasn’t a single beer that I thought was gross; I cannot say the same for other gluten free beers I have had. Everything is also very reasonably priced. The tasting flight is only $ 7 and a pint is only $ 5. I have paid more for much worse even at Happy Hour. This is a place that you can take your poor, unfortunate friend who has to go gluten free and everyone can enjoy a quality beer.
The service was outstanding. The place was a little busy, but the service was quick and attentive. They struck a great balance of being available but not being annoying. They also have a super cute dog who diligently greets people who come in. Additionally, for a place that just opened, their people knew their stuff. Training and development win!
The space is really cool. You can belly up to a bar, or sit a a table. They have a variety of tables, so it would accommodate groups really well. My husband and I commented that the space would be really great for an event.
I had a great experience at Ghostfish, and I can’t wait to go back!

Ok, so here’s the scoop.
I was forced to go gluten-​free several months ago, and much to my chagrin, I had to give up beer (boy does that suck). I was left with crappy options from the major breweries, such as Redbrook, which was pretty much horrible, but I would have if I was desperate.
Enter Ghostfish Brewiing Company…
One of my friends messaged me on Thursday (2 day ago), and it got me excited. Follow that up with total fantasizing about beer all day Friday (yesterday), ends up with me and wife at Ghostfish on Friday night. I immediately got a flight of beers (had 4 beers in it) – it was like the angels starting singing with bright golden lights and harps!
BEER! Thank God!
Each beer I had was SUPER delicious, and most importantly, tasted like REAL BEER! My wife concurred. We will even be bringing other friends and family here because we would only be subjecting them to an awesome experience. Bonus points for having gluten-​free pizza from SODO pizza (which although frozen, was very tasty).
Bonus points: the customer service was excellent, with staff being very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a huge, cute dog that would bark every time someone new would arrive but would then trot over to get some pets. The taproom space was really cool; the décor, lighting, and even the bathrooms were spot on. I liked how you can see into the brewery portion from the taproom. Prices? Pints were $ 5, which is very much comparable to many other bars that serve craft brews.
Short story? I will be back, oh so soon!

Just went to their kickstarter appreciation party last night. They had 7 great gluten free beers on tap, my favorites were their Wit, Pale Ale, and El-​Dorado Single Hop IPA.
Check out their Facebook page for new beers coming out.
They have a decent sized kitchen that will eventually feature several items, but today they are starting out with pizza for their first day open to the public. (2÷5÷15).
The space is big with a good amount of seating, tons of taps, an industrial feel, and a great view of their brewing tanks from the bar area. They plan to have several TVs but not be a sports bar, although when the Seattle teams play the games will be on.
My favorite part of their bar was the huge logo cut out of metal.
Go check them out if you are gluten free, their beers are some of the best I’ve tasted!
