About Future Primitive Beach Bar

Future Primitive Beach Bar is a brewery taproom on Alki Ave SW in Seattle. It is the Alki Beach location of Future Primitive Brewing, which also runs a taproom in White Center. The beach bar serves beach front beers daily.

Future Primitive makes four beers year round. They are a German-style pilsner, a West Coast IPA called Green River, Kingdome Kölsch and a NW hazy IPA called Thunderpussy IPA. The pilsner gets a step mash and a 10 week lagering time.

The brewery says Green River is its longest running beer and a local favorite, with a grapefruit middle and a pine finish. The brewery also says Kingdome Kölsch won a silver medal at the Washington Beer Awards. Rotating and seasonal beers are announced on Instagram.
