Island Hoppin' Brewery

Set in an otherwise inauspicious industrial area near the airport, this craft brewery and taproom has earned a reputation throughout the archipelago—and even on the mainland in Seattle—for well-made beers, including the faintly citrusy Elwha Rock IPA and the silky Oatmeal Stout. Smoked salmon, cheese and crackers, and a few other snacks are sold in the homey taproom. With a usual closing time of 7 pm it's definitely not a late-night haunt, though it sometimes stays open later for live music.
