Foggy Noggin Brewing

I really liked this brewery. It is literally in someone’s garage and is family run. They have a good selection of beers. There are also a couple nitro options too. I had the cranberry frost on nitro. This was kind of a Belgian style beer. It was delicious. I also tried the skittles IPA which was a very drinkable IPA and wasn’t overly hoppy. I would definitely stop by here again!

Nice little place out of a house good beer. The only thing I can say that I wasn’t a fan of but I understand why they do it, The server their beer out of plastic cups. If you drink beer you know it taste different in glass even the shape of the glass can change the flavor. But like I said it’s out of a house so I understand the plastic over the glass

Interesting place. Literally someone’s two-​car garage. Great beers? Well, maybe not great, but OK. Friendly? Definitely. Dog? Check. Nice? You betcha. Worth a visit? Yes! (OK, barely four stars, but as I think you should make the trek when they are open, I will be generous.)

Foggy Noggin Brewery was a great place while I was waiting for metro area traffic to die down a bit.
The brewery is open on most Saturdays and that is about it as far as business hours go. But picking your time to go is worth it if you like to try out these little breweries!
This place reminded me very much of where the Slippery Pig Brewery used to be located in Poulsbo. you pull up a drive way and park in someone’s yard. Lol!
If there is a rush at the brewery parking can be tight as far as parking really close to the place but I lucked out and got one spot that was close to the garage where the brewery is.
I tried three different kinds of beer here and all of them were pretty good! I had the Christmas Duck, their brown ale and their scotch ale. As I said all of them were good but I decided I liked the brown the best. I really liked the flavor!
The people that run the place are very nice and friendly!
I see a review posted by Evan K. stating that they only take cash and this was a concern of mine but I asked the bartender before I ordered if my debit card would be accepted here and they said it would be. So I think they have moved on past the cash only policy since last July.

Good little homemade brewery. «Tasting room» is owners garage. Porta potty in the front yard. We took our toddler and did okay. Pets, kids, singing, it all goes here. Enjoy.

I love this brewery! It is one of my favorite brewery in washington. Its literally out of the owner’s garage. Wooden barrel for tables… stools for seating.
I will try anything they brew. Today we ordered the diablo del sol. An english pale that is so well balanced you cant stop drinking it. We also had the swoop, an ESB. It was pretty good but compared to the diablo… it couldnt hold up.
They had a special bitter on nitro as well… little lucy.
Great place but remember it is CASH ONLY!

This is probably one of the smallest breweries I’ve ever been too. Its located in a family neighborhood and is actually in the garage of the owner and head brewers house. All pints are $ 5 and single tasters are $ 1. I really enjoyed the Diablo del Sol, which is their English Pale Ale and the Big Butch, which is their imperial red ale. The brewery is only open on Saturday’s from noon to 4pm. They also sell growlers and 22 oz bottles to go. Parking is limited.

Favorite brewery in Washington. Beer is always outstanding. Only drawback is cash-​only.

The best thing about the Kenmore/​Bothell area by far! The beers are fantastic, they usually have a food truck of some sort. Seating is outdoor but they have heaters for when its chilly and tarps for when its raining. The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. I love that they have beers on nitrous and on normal tap so you can order both and really appreciate the difference. I love my FN beer :)

This brewery is in a residencial/​secluded area in Bothell. It was funny coming here because when we pulled up, I felt as if we were going to a friends BBQ or house party. HAHAHA!
There is plenty of places to park on the property. Plenty of tables and chairs, or wine barrels as tables for standing room. There were lots of cool things to look at in the gargage. Their beer fridge inspired me and my husband to collect beer stickers and do the same to ours! They have merchandise for purchase; Glasses, bumper stickers, shirts, growlers, even phone cases! We got sucked in and bought a glass, growler, and sticker!
We will definitely come back in the spring/​summer time and do some «day drinkin’!» Not to mention, bring our doggy! I love their motto too; «I want my Fn Beer!»
HELPFUL HINT;
**CASH ONLY**
(We had to turn around and go get cash out from a local store!)

This is just a great brewery, It’s unique as it’s in a garage in a residential neighborhood so you feel like you’re with a bunch of friends you’ve known for years. I love the Christmas Duck Porter it’s awesome! A pint is only $ 4 which keeps me happy :) and you can do tasters too if you want to explore a bit.

This place is wonderful. My husband and I came here when it started hailing, which dampened the experience a bit, but no matter, there was beer to taste!
The beer itself was interesting and very good. All of them are English-​style, not as much hops as other Pacific NW breweries. The atmosphere is fantastic. It’s all outdoors so expect to wear layers! There is one outdoor heater which was nice to stand under once the hail stopped.
Merchandise selection was above what I expected. When it gets warmer we expect to come back and lounge around and buy something.
⁵⁄₅. I hope this place stays small and a bit off the grid, as that adds to the experience ten-​fold.

Awesome beer great staff can’t go wrong with a visit to this place, cool doesn’t begin to describe the location.

This place is very cool. The guy has a brewery in his garage!
If your in the area its worth the trip, there are some other good breweries in the area as well, make a day out it and check em’ all out.

Thoroughly enjoyed this nano brewery. I more enjoy the fact that it is in walking distance from my parents house which means if we are ever lacking beer at a Saturday shindig, Foggy Noggin will be here for us!
I was thoroughly surprised at how packed it was this past Saturday. For a nano brewery, they still put out a bunch of beers — on tap, bottles, and growlers! Picked up a growler for our collection.
They had a lot of darker beers on tap, probably because it was winter. I really enjoyed the lighter beers, mostly the beaver.
Will definitely be back!

Perhaps one of the most odd places I’ve stepped in to grab a microbrew, Foggy Noggin does deliver for the brave. Hosted in the garage on a well-​manicured private lot, you have to traipse down about 50 yards of driveway before you have any hint that you’re not walking into someone’s home.
When you man up and do it, you’re getting delicious English style ales poured in frosty pints and shared with the neighbors. There’s even an old wiener dog that’ll come out and poke around every so often, as if she forgot they had company.
Try the Chrismas Duck, stay for the Wasky. Bring cash. Make sure you take a growler home!
If they have something on nitro, aim for that. S’good and smooth.
And, shh… don’t tell the uncool folks!

I’ve been going to Fn since they opened back in 2010. English style ales are the order of the day at Jim’s place (brewmaster, owner).
Beaver (bitter) and Christmas Duck (porter) are their flagship beers with two other seasonals on tap (almost) every Saturday. Two nitro taps as well for those that want to go that route. Growlers to go with your own empty growler ($ 10) — or pick up a FN one ($ 15). Everything is cash only so be prepared.
Check out their blog to find out what will be on tap on any given Saturday. They’ve been having food trucks every now and then as well.
Great people. Great beer. Check ‘em out!

I Want My Fn Beer!
$ 3 Imperial Pints for most beers on tap.
$ 10 Growler Fills
This nanobrewery puts most micro and full scale breweries to shame. Plus the English style hops they use is a welcome change to the olé taste buds.
Open most Saturdays (Check Facebook or subscribe to their newsletter) from 1 – 4.
I think I’m going to have to bring 2 growlers at a time from now on.
Just an FYI, it’s cash only.

This nanobrewery may be a little bit out of the way, but these highly unique and stunningly tasty beers are worth traveling from absolutely anywhere to try.
