Love to kick off your weekends by planning a night out with some
friends, and you just want to sample a beer or two you’ve never had
the opportunity to taste before? When you choose our CWU student
apartments at The Meadows, you’ll find yourself in one of our many
Ellensburg apartments near breweries that have just what you’re
looking for.
Iron Horse Brewery
This no-frills, no-nonsense brewery has been “making indie beer
since, like, forever and stuff.” The family-owned business started
out as a passionate hobby and a pipe dream, then blossomed into the
current success it is. The result, a selection of brews that keep
people coming back for more, each stamped with their namesake
skull-and-crossbones logo. If you’re not sure where to start, we’d
suggest the Irish Death; it’s a dark, smooth ale, and is by far
their best-selling product.
Ellensburg Brewery & Titled Tree Cidery
With more than a dozen beers on tap and a handful of ciders to
sample, this brand-spanking-new addition to the Ellensburg food and
drink scene is a welcome addition and a reflection of the town’s
past when a similarly named brewery turned out all German-style
brews. While the current iteration features craft beers that
reflect modern tastes, such as IPAs, the Germanic roots cannot be
denied. It even transcends to the food menu, which features dishes
such as wiener schnitzel, bratwurst, beef goulash, and spaetzle mac
& cheese. (The latter is sure to be a hit among the little ones.)
The best part is, it's a family-friendly joint, though there is a
tasting room which is reserved strictly for the 21-plus crowd.
Whipsaw Brewing
Every beer has a story. No, really. These guys give fun and
interesting backstories to their brews which have been given
equally interesting names. (Think: Smashed Blonde and Buzz on
Blackberry.) Be sure to check their calendar of events to see which
nights include specials, raffles, and benefits. Of course, you have
to sample each blend at the place where the magic happens, but you
don’t have to make your way to the brewery just to get a taste.
Their distribution reach is wide and far; beers can be found at
dozens of local bars and restaurants.
These are just a few of the standouts, and there are still plenty
more that you can experience! Our Ellensburg apartments near
breweries will keep you close to your beloved home-style brews, so
you’ll never have to look too far.
