Celebration Worthy Pints at Cairn Brewing

You won’t find Cairn beers in the grocery store or on tap at the bars around town. A taste of this neighborhood brewery requires a trek to the north end of Lake Washington. It’s worth the visit (especially if you find yourself just .8 miles away at Kenmore Air’s headquarters).

Nestled beside the Burke-Gilman Trail, Seattle visitors can easily trek, bike or bus to this dog- and family-friendly taproom. The brewing area is set among communal tables that spill onto a large patio. On tap, you’ll find a selection of more than 15 beers ranging from seasonal ales to year-round favorites.

A favored place for Kenmore staff to grab a pint, the husband-wife duo Bill and Jen decided to honor Kenmore Air’s 75th Anniversary with an easy-drinking ale: Lake Hopper – Blonde Ale. With a subtle sweetness and a crisp finish, it’s the perfect beer for toasting an adventure. Which, as luck would have it, Cairn is also on. The brewery is celebrating its own milestone — five years bringing toast-worthy pints to the neighborhood.

Hungry during your visit? Cairn hosts a wide variety of rotating food trucks at the Kenmore Food Truck Corner. Peruse their beer and the latest food trucks on their website or in person.
