The Ultimate Guide to the Diamond Knot Experience: Crafting Beer and Community Across Our 3 PNW Locations

The Pacific Northwest is widely considered the heartland of American hop innovation. But while flashy beer trends come and go, there’s an unmistakable magic that happens when a community gathering spot stays true to its roots.

Since rolling up our original garage doors back in 1994, Diamond Knot Brewing Company has been anchoring the local craft beer scene as a true "Northwest Original".

Today, we’ve expanded that tradition across three unique locations in Snohomish County. Whether you’re stepping off the ferry to find the best brewery in Mukilteo or swinging by our lively brewpub in Mountlake Terrace, we’re serving up a lot more than just cold pints. We’re serving up a complete, family-friendly Washington craft beer experience.

Here is exactly how to navigate the ultimate Diamond Knot experience at any of our three hubs.

1. Pouring the Flagships: Fresh Craft Beer on Tap

At the core of every Diamond Knot location is an uncompromising commitment to balanced, robust flavors. We don't brew over-complicated experiments; we brew legendary beers designed to be enjoyed pint after pint.

  • The Flagship IPA: Our crown jewel. This iconic India Pale Ale strikes a flawless harmony of citrusy hop bitterness and clean malt finish—a benchmark for classic Washington craft beer.

  • The Industrial XIPA: For beer enthusiasts chasing deep, bold hop profiles, this stronger iteration brings a punchy, full-bodied intensity.

  • Our Smooth Brown Ale & Porters: Packed with rich, roasted malt flavors, these dark beers provide a smooth, cozy companion to cool Pacific Northwest afternoons.

2. Beer-Infused Pub Classics & Hot Rock Dining

You can't have a premier Pacific Northwest brewpub experience without a stellar food menu designed to elevate what’s in your glass. Our kitchens across our dining locations prioritize fresh, locally sourced ingredients to turn classic pub food into culinary milestones.

The Famous Hot Rock Sandwich

Looking for a dinner that doubles as a memory? Try our Garlic BBQ Beef Hot Rock Sandwich. We serve up thinly sliced, premium raw sirloin on a granite rock heated to a blistering 750 degrees. You cook it to your exact preference right at your table, layer it onto a local hoagie bun, and smother it in our house apricot Porter BBQ sauce.

Elevated Comfort Bites

From our massive Knothead Nachos loaded with IPA-pickled jalapeños to gourmet Northwest beef burgers slathered in creamy peanut butter and smoked bacon, our menu proves we love finding ways to weave our favorite beers right into the food.

The Local Secret: Weekend Pub Breakfast

Looking for a hidden gem? Skip the standard diner fare and join us on Saturdays and Sundays at our Mukilteo Alehouse or Mountlake Terrace brewpub for our legendary weekend breakfast. Try the Brewer’s Scramble—three eggs tossed with sharp cheddar, tater tots, and English muffins, completely smothered in house-made country sausage and bacon gravy.

3. Find Your Crew: Our 3 Distinct Snohomish County Locations

Every Diamond Knot destination carries its own distinct coastal vibe and community energy, giving you three completely different ways to experience our brews:

  • 1. The Brewery & Alehouse (Mukilteo Waterfront): Our original historic location. Housed in a charming old transit building right by the water, it features the original thick wooden beams and a relaxed, wharf-like atmosphere perfect for a pre-ferry pint.

  • 2. The Brewpub @ MLT (Mountlake Terrace): A spacious, vibrant hub just north of Seattle. Equipped with an on-site working brewery, comfortable indoor dining, and an outdoor patio, it’s a favorite gathering spot for families and beer enthusiasts across Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Shoreline.

  • 3. The Production Brewery & Taproom (Chennault Beach): Where the magic happens behind the scenes. Drop by our 15-barrel headquarters in Mukilteo to grab packaged beers to go, fill up a keg, or sit down for an authentic, no-nonsense taproom experience.
