E-Malt.com News article: USA, WA: Lowercase Brewing Company opens in Seattle

Lowercase Brewing officially opens on Friday, January 17th in Seattle’s South Park neighbourhood, Seattle Post Intelligencer reported on January 14.

Chris Smith, the owner of Lowercase Brewing, said the name Lowercase came from two main things: “We wanted a way for our customers to easily recognize our beers in a crowded marketplace, so we needed something with a theme to tie our beers together. We thought the alphabet was a decent place to start.

We feel the primary concern of breweries should be the quality of their beer, not their branding nor their size. To us, the essence of lower case letters is that they are understated and purely concerned with their content and not their treatment. We liked the link.”

Smith knew that a huge crowd of supporters wanted to be there when he opened the brewery, so he issued tickets for January 17 not wanting to end up in the uncomfortable position of turning people away because of building occupancy restrictions, fire codes, and the like. Those who do not have tickets can visit during January 18-19, over the weekend.

Smith wants everyone to know that they will be open all weekend. Lowercase Brewing intends to pour its Pale, ESB and IPA on tap, along with house-made soda. Beers will pour for $4.00 per pint (tax included).
