Why the "Northwest Original" Still Sets the Standard for Washington Craft Beer

In the Pacific Northwest, we take our beer seriously. With new breweries popping up on every corner, it’s easy to get distracted by the latest trend. But for those who have been around since the early days of the Washington craft beer revolution, one name stands as a beacon of consistency and quality: Diamond Knot Brewing Co.

Since 1994, we’ve been more than just a place to grab a pint. We have grown into a "third place" for our neighbors, anchored by two unique locations that offer the best of Washington’s craft culture.

1. The Waterfront Tradition: Our Mukilteo Flagship

Our story began near the Mukilteo ferry landing, and our Brewery & Alehouse remains the heart of the brand. Named after the historic shipwreck of the Diamond Knot, this location embodies the rugged, maritime spirit of the Sound.

When you search for the best brewery in Mukilteo, you’re looking for more than a drink—you’re looking for a piece of local history. It’s the perfect spot to grab a coffee before the ferry or a pint of our signature IPA after a day on the water.

2. The Full Experience: Our Mountlake Terrace (MLT) Brewpub

For those looking for a high-energy atmosphere and a full-service dining experience, our Mountlake Terrace Brewpub is the premier destination. This location is designed for the community to gather, featuring an expanded tap list and a kitchen built for flavor.

3. The Art of the IPA (and Beyond)

Long before the "haze craze," Diamond Knot was perfecting the bold, hoppy profiles that defined the West Coast IPA.

  • The Flagship IPA: A masterclass in balance, featuring the piney, citrusy notes that Washington hop-heads crave.

  • Small-Batch Innovation: Across both our Mukilteo and MLT locations, our brewers are constantly experimenting with seasonal releases, barrel-aged stouts, and crisp lagers.

4. Family-Friendly and Community-Focused

A premier brewery is only as strong as its community. Both Diamond Knot locations are proud to be dog-friendly and kid-friendly, staying true to our blue-collar roots while delivering a world-class experience. From supporting local charities to providing a warm environment for family dinners, we are committed to the people who helped us grow over the last 30 years.
