About Elysian Brewing:

We opened our doors in 1996 when bold art and music defined Seattle.

Over the past 25 years, we’ve carried this same spirit in the way we brew our beer – shaking up classic styles, using unusual ingredients, and learning from experimentation. We push creativity beyond the brews. Each beer label is made by our in-house team who pull inspiration from design, photography, clay, paint, needlepoint, and even the occasional tattoo.

Come chase down the rabbit hole with us.
