About Metier 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.
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.

We found a new regular drink spot! Wanted to check out some Black owned breweries in this area. Really great vibes and cool to see how this brewery has integrated itself into the community. Will definitely be back.

Where Everyone is Welcome
Our Community
As one of the few Black-owned breweries in the country, we know representation matters. That’s why we are proud to operate our flagship taproom in the Central District, one of Seattle's historic Black neighborhoods. But our commitment to community does not stop there. At all of our locations—including the kid-pet-and-event-friendly taproom in Woodinville and our one-of-a-kind brewpub partnership in SODO honoring the Negro league baseball league—we partner with vendors and charities and artists we know share our goal of building a craft beer space where everyone feels welcome.
We hope MBC inspires others to always consider who is not in the room, at the table, or behind the bar. At MBC, we are trying to play our part in growing a nurturing and inclusive craft beer community. On the outside, MBC stands for Metier Brewing Company. But in our hearts, our work is animated by a different trio of words: My Beloved Community.
