Elysian Brewing Company operates three locations and a production brewery in Seattle, Washington. Known for classic styles, flexibility and innovation, Elysian has brewed over 350 different recipes since opening in 1996. Our first Seattle location, opened in 1996 on Capitol Hill, Seattle’s most populous neighborhood. Elysian Fields, opened in August 2006. Perched next to Seattle’s two sports arenas, Fields seats 400 and packs the house at lunch and on game days. Fields has since become an innovation center for our brewers where new beers are brewed each week on the 7bbl brew. In 2017, our Taproom opened next to our Georgetown brewery.
