What began in 2013 on a whim among a group of 5 friends from very different backgrounds – an odd group, one might say – has become not only a fixture in Tacoma’s truly badass beer scene, but has also become an integral part of the 253’s gritty, unique, brilliantly welcoming culture. Our Founders include active duty and former military members, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and we’ve got a couple who are just a little too enthusiastic about cats.
And why do we do what we do, you might ask … we love to have fun. We LOVE to have fun. We have fun with ourselves, we have fun with our brand, we have fun with our community, and we make some really awesome and fun beer.
Lest you think that our adventurous nature prevents us from making objectively phenomenal beer, we will politely point with our paws at the 3 Washington Brewers’ Association Gold Medals that we’ve won. We’ll point out that we were among the first to consider allowing otters to serve as our quality testers. And we are absolutely the first brewery in Tacoma to paint itself bright blue.
