The PNW Report Tip

Steeplejack is family-friendly, meaning all ages are allowed inside this establishment (and there’s a kids menu to boot!). So bring your kiddos and enjoy!

Even though the former church has now been converted into a brewery, you will still find that the interior looks and functions like a church. The reverend’s offices and pulpit are now used as rooms for events and/or extra seating. Speaking of seating…did you notice that the brewery uses pews for seating around the wooden tables? Oh, and the stained glass window directly above the brewing tanks? Stunning.

Steeplejack has an impressive beverage menu, ranging from in-house drafts to cocktails to wine. Those who don’t drink alcohol will be happy to know that Steeplejack also has quite a few non-alcoholic options ranging from non-alcoholic beer to non-alcoholic cocktails to standard non-alcoholic drinks like iced tea and water.
