Bellevue Brewing Company

Bellevue Brewing Company

The Story John Robertson and Scott Hansen founded the Bellevue Brewing Company on January 26, 2010, and then spent the next two years and eleven months putting the entire jigsaw puzzle together. Despite the worst economy in 80 years, the two persevered, working through the myriad decisions regarding real estate, finance, design, brewhouse manufacturing, permitting, licensing, construction, and staffing. It was a major ordeal, almost unbearable at times, really…but the two were quickly rewarded on December 20, 2012 when the doors opened and the many thirsty people rejoiced! Our Beer This is one area at the BBC where we absolutely do not cut corners, never have, never will. We are dead serious when it comes to brewing the beers we choose to brew. We use only the finest ingredients, most of them from right here in Washington, when handcrafting our various beers. Our head brewer is about as dedicated to the brewing arts as one could be and enjoys blending old-world and modern brewing techniques when breathing life and complexity into the recipes he creates. We’re primarily an ale brewery and will introduce worldclass lagers over time. We have an ongoing cask-conditioned ale program and are also beginning to barrel-age a number of our beers, which is wonderfully rewarding.
