What Scuttlebutt Brewing does
Scuttlebutt Brewing Company is a family-founded and independently held craft brewery headquartered in Everett, Washington. Founded in 1995 by Phil Bannan Sr. and his wife Cynthia "Scuttle" Bannan, the company grew from a homebrewing hobby into a commercial operation, brewing its first batch on July 4, 1996 on a 20-barrel system and selling 170 barrels in its debut year. More than 25 years later, the company remains family-owned under Phil Bannan Sr. and Phil Bannan Jr. as co-owners, with Adam Chittick as Head Brewer and Doug Tiede as Brewery Business Operations Manager. Operating geographies are limited to the Pacific Northwest, with primary footprint in Everett.
The brewery produces more than 20 styles of hand-crafted ales and lagers using Northwest-sourced inputs, including barley from Vancouver, Washington, hops from the Yakima Valley, and water from the Spada Reservoir in the Cascade Mountains. The product line spans year-round core SKUs such as Living Daylights IPA, Uccello Italian Style Pilsner, Sea Legs Amber, and Sanji Japanese Style Lager, alongside a rotating seasonal portfolio including Fathom Hazy Pale, Moonglow West Coast Pilsner, Erebus Winter IPA, Tuatara New Zealand-Style Pilsner, and Wapiti IPA. In August 2025 the company launched Big Dumper Beer, a collaboration with Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. Core technology is traditional craft brewing, with no proprietary automation or platform architecture disclosed.
The business operates a direct-to-consumer, multi-channel revenue model anchored by two owned Everett locations: a speakeasy-style brewery taproom at 3310 Cedar Street and the family-friendly Scuttlebutt Family Pub at 1205 Craftsman Way on the Everett waterfront. Revenue streams include taproom draft sales, restaurant/pub food and beverage sales, packaged beer (canned and bottled), kegs-to-go (half-barrel, quarter-barrel, and Cornelius sizes priced at $200, $120, and $70 respectively), jockey box rentals ($40–$50/week), and private taproom event rentals for 35–40 guests. Distribution is supplemented by DoorDash food delivery and Untappd tap-list visibility, with stadium and select-market reach added through the Cal Raleigh partnership. GTM is event-driven, centered on weekly trivia nights, $6.50 flight specials on Wednesdays, private event hosting, and an annual Oktoberfest celebration, supported by Facebook and Instagram organic social channels.
