What Bainbridge Brewing does

Bainbridge Brewing (legally Bainbridge Island Brewing Company) is an independent craft brewery founded in 2012 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, co-owned by Chuck Everett, Russell Everett (Brewmaster), and Rob Frease. The company operates two public-facing retail locations: the all-ages Brewery & Taproom at 9415 Coppertop Loop NE in Coppertop Park, which also houses production brewing, and the 21+ Alehouse at 500 Winslow Way East in Downtown Winslow, one block from the Seattle ferry terminal with 18 draft taps. Its product portfolio spans year-round core beers (Kömmuter Kölsch, Eagle Harbor IPA, Arrow Point Amber, City Lies in Dust Hazy IPA, Rolling Bay Cold IPA, Battle Point Stout, Shore Power Hazy Pale Ale), seasonal releases (Bainbridge Blonde Ale, Fattoni Italian Style Lager, Bainbridge Bock, Cerveza el Barbon), limited releases (Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, Port Blakely Pub Ale, collaboration IPAs), and a rotating Sandbox Series of experimental and barrel-aged/sour beers, all brewed with Northwest maltsters and Yakima Valley hops.

Revenue is generated through direct beer and merchandise sales at both taprooms, e-commerce (Washington State delivery for beer; USPS shipping nationwide for apparel and barware), keg and party-tap rentals, mezzanine private-event space, gift certificates, and wholesale distribution — self-distributed on Bainbridge Island and brokered through The Odom Corporation across Western Washington to grocery, specialty, and on-premise accounts. The company also operates private-label/contract brewing partnerships (Clearwater Reserve IPA for Clearwater Casino, Jabroni Italian Lager for Pizzeria Bruciato) and complements on-premise food via partner vendors such as Tacos El Barbon. Pricing is unit-based across all SKUs (single cans $4, 4-packs $16, 24-can cases $75, kegs $111-$215, apparel $10-$58), with happy-hour pricing ($7 pints Mon-Thu 2-5pm) at both locations.

Customer segments are split across local Bainbridge Island residents, Seattle-area visitors arriving by ferry, off-premise retail consumers, and B2B wholesale/private-label partners. Multiple SKUs have earned SIP Northwest Platinum/Double Gold and Washington Beer Awards, and the brewery was named Best of Bainbridge Island 2025; the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or subsidiaries.
