Stoup celebrating 10 years in Ballard with events at all three locations

Meghan Walker Ballard

Stoup Brewing is celebrating its 10th year in business this month, with celebrations planned for all three of its locations.

Stoup opened its doors in October 2013, becoming the ninth brewery in what’s now known as Ballard’s Brewery District. Two years ago, they expanded to Kenmore, joining forces with Seaplane Kitchen and Bar to open its second location. And earlier this year, Stoup purchased Optimism Brewing to round out its trio of regional taprooms.

Now, Stoup Brewing is ready to celebrate with parties at all three of their locations.

“It is hard to believe that we opened our doors for the first time 10 years ago this month,” says co-owner and creative director, Lara Zahaba said in a statement.

“In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago, while in others, it could have been yesterday,” co-owner and brewer Robyn Schumacher said.
