COUNTY • by • Kaity Teer
Humans first brewed beer many thousands of years ago. More recently, the last decade has seen dozens of craft breweries open in Snohomish County. Eric Radovich, executive director of the Washington Beer Commission, said that statewide the rate of new brewery openings is approaching one per week. “It’s the craft beer revolution,” he said, “I don’t know how else to describe it. And we’re still not anywhere close to reaching market saturation.” In all, there are currently about 30 craft breweries in Snohomish County, with several more in the works. Here’s your guide to the North End’s breweries and taprooms, from craft brewing pioneers Diamond Knot and Scuttlebutt to backyard nanobreweries like Foggy Noggin.
