Hale's Ales Brewery

Seattle


A relative old-timer, Hale's was only the third microbrewery in Washington State when it opened in 1983. Its large, contemporary brewery and pub on the cusp of the Ballard and Fremont neighborhoods mixes seasonal brews with old favorites including its flagship tipple, Hale’s Pale Ale, a good entry-point beer for beginners keen to learn how to differentiate their malt from their hops.
