About Métier Brewing Company

At MBC, our beers are outstanding, and our mission stands out.

MBC is all about strengthening community and creating a welcoming gathering space for families, friends, and those who appreciate exceptional beer.

“Great beer should be for everyone, and we don't mean just the people drinking it. At MBC, we brew beer with everybody in mind: the suppliers who produce our ingredients, the brewers who craft award-winning recipes, the knowledgeable staff who serve our pints, and you, the members of our community.”
Rodney Hines MBC CEO & Co-Founder

Our MBC Team

Influenced by tradition, not bound by it

As beer enthusiasts, the MBC team is influenced by tradition, but not bound by it. We experiment with brews that are innovative and accessible. With our commitment to craft, we brew with intention and integrity, and we never compromise.

We are proud to be one of the few Black-owned breweries in the country. But we want to help build an industry where that’s no longer a novelty. At MBC, we’re expanding what craft beer has traditionally represented, from our suppliers to the artwork on our beer labels to the team serving up pints to the community of beer lovers.

Our founders

MBC's mission is born of co-founders Rodney Hines and Todd Herriott's shared passion for great beer and spirited community.

Where everyone is welcome

As one of the few Black-owned breweries in the country, we know representation matters. That’s why we proudly operate our flagship taproom in the Central District, one of Seattle’s historic Black neighborhoods. At all of our locations we partner with vendors, charities, and artists who share our goal of building a craft beer space where everyone feels welcome.

On the outside, MBC stands for Métier Brewing Company. But in our hearts, our work is animated by a different trio of words: My Beloved Community.
