USA, WA: Salish Sea Brewing taking over former American Brewing location in Edmonds

Salish Sea Brewing is taking over former American Brewing location in Edmonds, with plans to open a brewery, taproom, and eatery, the Washington Beer Blog reported on October 21.

This new location, dubbed The Boathouse, marks a second location for Salish Sea Brewing, with the brewpub in downtown Edmonds remaining open. The brewing equipment has been moved down the street and absorbed into the larger brewery, but the brewpub will continue to have a small-batch brewing system.

Not only a new, second location but also new brewing equipment and an increase in brewing capacity. Two locations in Edmonds: The Salish Sea Brewpub downtown and the Salish Sea Boathouse near the waterfront. Like the Brewpub, the Boathouse is family-friends, though dogs are only allowed outside in the beer garden.

Salish Sea Brewing’s owners, Jeff and Erika Barnett, along with their crew, have put a lot of work into sprucing up the taproom, giving it a lot more than a fresh coat of paint. They constructed a new kitchen, crafted new furniture, remodeled the bathrooms, installed a new cold room, added a new draft system, created original artwork, potted plants, hung curtains, and yeah… you’ll hardly recognize the place.

At first, probably only open four days per week: Thursday through Sunday. For the opening, the tap selection should include as many as 12 house-brewed beers. Along with that, they’ll offer a selection of beers from other local breweries, wine, cider, and root beer. The Boathouse will offer a food menu focused on small plates and snackable items; you’ll find a more robust menu up the street at the brewpub.

The Salish Sea Boathouse is poised to open in the coming days.
