Postdoc Brewing Redmond (Craft Beer & Brewery in Redmond WA)

Postdoc Brewing in Redmond, Washington, began as the brain‑child of Tom Schmidlin while he was knee‑deep in his PhD thesis. Instead of publishing a paper, he brewed a line‑up that now commands two lively taprooms – one in Redmond, the other in Kenmore – each perched conveniently near the area’s most‑used trails. Cyclists, dog walkers and families can pop in for a pint, then tackle the 13‑mile trail ride that links the two spots (a perfect excuse to stretch your legs and your palate).

The beer list is a lesson in variety. An extensive IPA catalogue showcases the region’s hoppy pedigree, but the roster doesn’t stop there; sour ales, barrel‑aged experiments and classic Pacific Northwest styles rotate with dependable regularity. Daily food‑truck appearances mean you can match a smoky barbecue or a veggie‑laden taco to whatever you’re sipping, turning a simple outing into a small festival. The atmosphere feels intentionally cosy, inviting you to linger without the pretentious whisper‑down‑the‑lane you’d expect from a “craft” label. In short, Postdoc delivers inventive, high‑quality brews with a dash of humour and a whole lot of welcome.
