About North Sound Brewing Co.

North Sound Brewing Co. is a brewery and taproom on State Route 536 in Mount Vernon. Its website says Kurt and Lori opened it in 2010 after Kurt spent years homebrewing in his basement. Their first batch, Big Bend Blonde Ale, is still brewed today.

The ales are inspired by traditional beers from the UK and Ireland, made in a Northwest style. The website says the batches are small and unfiltered. It lists 14 different beers on tap, with at least two IPAs always pouring.

In May 2026, the website says, Brooke and Katie of Temperate Habits Brewing Co bought the brewery. They plan to run both locations. The North Sound taproom stays 21 and over.

The taproom has a patio with outdoor seating and a climate-controlled room inside. Leashed dogs are welcome outside. Temperate Habits Brewing Company is 1.7 miles away.
