Airways Brewing Co - Craft Beer in Kent, Washington

📜 Short History:

Airways Brewing Company is a microbrewery located in Kent, Washington, United States. It was founded by Alex Dittmar in March 2010. The name "Airways" was chosen due to Alex's love for aviation, as he is a private pilot. The brewery's logo, an old-fashioned airliner, reflects this passion.

The brewery started with a 1.5 barrel system in a small industrial suite. In 2011, due to increasing demand, the brewery expanded to a 10 barrel system. In the same year, Airways Brewing opened its first beer and bistro in downtown Kent, offering a full menu along with their beers.

In 2013, the brewery expanded again, this time adding a new 20 barrel brewhouse, and increasing their fermentation capacity. This allowed them to distribute their beers more widely.

Airways Brewing Company is known for producing a variety of beers, including IPAs, stouts, and lagers, and has won several awards for their brews. They have a strong local following and are a significant part of the Kent community.
