Emerald City Beer Company (ECB) is fanatical about creating the Seattle Lager—a style, culture and taste that is Seattle beer.  Found in August 2010 and located out of the Old Rainier Building in Seattle, WA.  Our founder/Brewmaster, Rick Hewitt, has been brewing new beers since his grad school days at the University of Washington in 2005.

Across America, the craft beer industry is flourishing! Washington State, specifically Seattle, is in a unique position. A large portion of the country’s hops are grown in state, and as a result, demand for our local craft beer is off the charts!

Most beer served in the US today is a lager style, pilsner, however, most craft beer is focused on ale styles. Ales are a flavorful and bold contrast to lagers, but are certainly not intended to be crisp & easy drinking like pilsners. ECB makes craft lager beer for those who want it all, flavorful & easy drinking!
