Old Schoolhouse Brewery sits on the Chewuch River in Winthrop, Washington, where the water runs as clear as the brewmaster’s vision. Housed in a genuine historic schoolhouse (the sort that once rang bells for twelve‑year‑olds), the taproom now rings out with the clink of glasses and the occasional burst of laughter from the riverside deck. Their line‑up skips the mundane and lands straight on the extraordinary: a crisp lager that feels like a mountain breeze, a hoppy amber that could convince a skeptic of hop‑loving, and a brewed root beer that tastes so authentic it could fool the real thing’s granddad.
The patio, shaded by clever cloths, offers unobstructed river scenery—perfect for watching the water drift by while you savour a pint. Food isn’t an afterthought; the grilled chicken fajitas arrive sizzling, with a flavor profile that makes the beer look even better. Spacious, relaxed, and decidedly unpretentious, Old Schoolhouse Brewery manages to fuse tradition with a dash of modern swagger, proving that great craftsmanship still thrives where history and river currents meet. A must‑visit for anyone who respects a well‑made brew.
Old Schoolhouse Brewery offers a unique dining experience in a historic setting with a cozy atmosphere, featuring American pub fare and delicious root beer, grilled chicken fajitas, and tasty tacos, while also showcasing their craft beers.
