Top Rung Brewing Company in Lacey, Washington has been dishing out liquid ambition since 2014, proudly wearing the title of the oldest craft brewery in Thurston County. Born from the bravado of two firefighters (who decided that fighting blazes was too boring without a good pint to celebrate), the taproom spins a lively roster of twelve taps, shifting from impeccably crisp lagers to audacious, small‑batch stouts. The lineup is padded by a surprisingly sophisticated range of IPAs and even a non‑alcoholic hop water line that sports specialty syrups for those who crave flavour without the buzz.
The food programme is unapologetically Pacific‑North‑West: think pizza that could double as a work‑of‑art and a menu of snacks that keep the palate busy between sips. Families and four‑legged companions are encouraged to claim a spot on the patio, where fire pits and heaters turn evenings into cozy gatherings. Trivia nights, live music on weekends, and monthly photo contests keep the atmosphere as frothy as the brews themselves, making every visit feel like a modest celebration of craft, community, and a dash of firefighter flair.
Top Rung Brewing Company is a highly recommended local brewery known for its friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and rotating beer selection with staple options always available. It also features live music, trivia nights, outdoor seating, and food trucks.
