Ballard Brewery Walk: Trailbend to Yonder Cider

With all four main stops located within a one-mile loop, this self-guided tour is perfect for a relaxed afternoon on foot. The walking is easy, the vibe is casual, and there’s no need to drive. Whether you're sampling farmhouse ales, sipping cider by the firepit, or chasing a bonus pint at Reuben’s, this Ballard crawl delivers great flavor without ever leaving the neighborhood.

Start at Trailbend Taproom, where rotating craft taps and wood-fired pizzas set a lively tone. Then stroll six minutes south to Lucky Envelope Brewing for culturally inspired brews in a relaxed indoor-outdoor spot. A short walk takes you to Fair Isle Brewing, known for its farmhouse-style ales and airy, welcoming space. Wrap things up at Bale Breaker & Yonder Cider, a shared taproom with both beer and cider, food trucks, and firepits. Looking for a bonus round? Just a short detour away is Reuben's Brews, one of Seattle's most beloved local breweries.
