Slippery Pig Brewery

Brews were good and menu items were very generic bar food but it was decent. Though it was low on staff and service, even when we went up to the bar. One server and a couple bar tenders and/​or food runners for a busy sunny day last weekend when everyone was out and about. Loved the décor though. Upon our initial entrance the place smelled like sitting water, mildewy. Not sure if they had bad pipes or something but it was unpleasant but we sat through it.

Decent beer. Lil loud sometimes but eh.

The pig is what’s up.
Innovative, craft, small town feel with beers that I think are very much poulsbo.
Food menu is on point.
Be somebody and get wet.

Wow the food was amazing. We walked in and expected the typical tavern food, but instead it wet got the local welcoming experience. Their food is amazing. I will be sending more people their way in the future!

Been to this place a couple of times now, and I enjoy it. The atmosphere is pretty laid back, and they always have some interesting beers on tap. Some of them are pretty good and some of them are pretty not good, but it’s always unique. Hogsbreath is their best brew in my opinion. Food isn’t amazing but it’s certainly passable. My only problem with the place is the last time we were there the bands were way too loud. I couldn’t hear the person sitting/​standing next to me. When the line for the bar is long people should be able to talk.

Delicious food! We had the cochinito (Cuban) sandwich. It was so good! We also had the rye pale ale. It was light and super flavorful. The ambience is casual but fun and inviting. Our server was very friendly and prompt. We will be back!

Really big inside. Kids are welcome till 11:00 and the food is huge portions and they will let you sample the many beers till you find the one you love.

2.5 Stars. I’ve been here a few times and I love the concept more than the execution. The beers are always interesting sounding but are often more miss than hit. The food is just okay. The people are pretty friendly and the vibe is pretty chill. Seems like it can be a fun neighborhood hangout if you live in the area. I just wish the beer and food were better.

What a fun place with fun people! The owner was pouring us our drinks & even though it was still pretty early, the patrons that were there were friendly & funny! I was excited to see they had themed nights too! Monday at 7 is trivia night, Tuesday is open mic night etc! It seems like a great place to enjoy some tasty beer & having fun!

Pleasantly surprised by this brewery very close to the Poulsbo marina. We arrived with sea legs after a short sail and couldn’t have been happier with the beer selection. Earlier reviews absolutely set an accurate expectation of a unique array of beers on the menu. I enjoyed a rhubarb IPA while friends sipped on lagers and kolsch. None of the brews came across as too intense; however, if you want something familiar, they’ll sell you a PBR tallboy.
Overall, definitely recommended: you can enjoy the beers and water view here while avoiding the crowds at the other nearby options.

If you are looking for a truly unique array of beers to choose from, this is a place you won’t want to miss. I had the Apocalypse which is a smoked double red with something like 16 spices in it. I can truly say, I haven’t had anything like it. I sampled their Rhubarb IPA too but opted for the Apocalypse. Staff are friendly and the venue is in one of my favorite places in Kitsap, right on the water in downtown Poulsbo!

I did not like the beer here looked and tasted like stagnant swamp water. The service was not great and we tried the «food» we had a piece of smoked salmon and some pretzels, not much thought or effort went into it the «dish» and it took forever considering we where one of a few tables on a slow Saturday afternoon.

They’ve changed stuff around and now have a menu! (Sandwiches and not sandwiches haha) I like the food but not sure the «I’ll take your order at the table» routine works yet. we still get up and order at the bar because there’s always just one waitress dealing with everyone, especially on packed nights like trivia. The crew is always nice though so that’s good.

Now that they have food, I can’t think of a reason to leave! I loved my baked sweet potato and pulled pork. So delicious! The Carolina-​style BBQ sauce was pretty dang amazing too. They allow dogs to hang out, so feel free to bring Fido!
With a deliciously rotating beer selection, fancy pantsy wines for people who are into that, karaōke and live bands, this is my favorite bar by far in Poulsbo.

Great beer and good atmosphere. Interesting choices of bands playing this evening. The décor is very unique and homey. It’s refreshing to see an establishment like this move into this building because there have been a multitude of previous restaurants which have just flopped.

This is a nice local brewery. Good size, lots of seating. They have some snack, but you are allowed to bring your own food! Stage and TVs. And totally family friendly!!!
We did a sampler of most all their beers. And sadly out of our group of 7 we only liked one or two beers. I will give them points for creativity, but none of them were a clear winner. The blueberry was ok, but there wasn’t really any hint of blueberry. This was the one most of us were excited to try, and it was just ok. Two of us enjoyed the piggly wiggly, totally smelled like cucumbers and had a taste of pickles! But would never want a full glass of it. The 11 was the one most all of us liked best out of the sampler, but still not a favorite beer I would come back for. I will say the shandy is super delicious though.
Beer taste are different from person to person so you might find one you like while our group was sadly disappointed.
So if your down for trying some interesting beers and supporting a local brewery I would totally give this place a try.

Love this brewery! Nice location, close to lots of cool shops and food. The brewery doesn’t serve hot food, but has lots of takeout and delivery menus for local food options. They do serve nuts, cheese and smoked salmon. The brewery has a large stage for bands and other entertainment.
Now the beer; the beer was fantastic! Lots of variety of beer in styles and flavor. Something for everyone! I also loved their merchandise for sale and the décor of the entire brewery. Very modern and clean. I can’t wait to go back. Prost!

Always a good stop in the Poulsbo area. There are 3 different breweries in that small city, Slippery Pig is definitely one you want to stop by. They usually have some interesting flavored beers. One of my favorites is the Rhubarb IPA when it’s on tap. Also can’t go wrong with kiwi beer! The interior space is rustic and the people are friendly. Definitely worth a stop!

Well, after supporting the Slippery Pig crew at their former location, the decision was made to check out the new brew house. I went in there within the first two weeks of opening. At this time, the establishment is at the infancy stage, but the owner’s vision promises to bring an added luster to downtown Poulsbo. I would typically wait to write a review after being at a place a few times, but someone has to start posting up reviews or little will be known about it to fell Unilocalers.
PARKING: Street parking smack dab in the middle of downtown Poulsbo. Prepare to walk.
BUILDING/​LOCALE: Built in 1935. The brew house is located very close to the waterfront, it is worth making a day trip to this place and walk around. There are other fine drinking establishments, including two local breweries, all within walking distance.
DECOR: This place could use some more decorations. Keep in mind that this place is brand spanking new. The décor can be described as a hardcore rustic with a very industrialized feel. The feeling is ‘raw with brewery, and you can see the tanks behind the bar. There is a lot of pig themed bric-​à-​brac throughout the place. This is a great homage to the former location which was a residential-​zoned-​for-​business property which was a farm… with pigs. So, the pig tribute is very heartwarming to those like me who fell in love with the farm.
FOOD: Snacks. While you’re snacking in here, be sure to look for the Crimson Cove munchies.
BEER: They brew their own. I would consider Slippery Pig to be the most innovative brewery in Western Washington. They buy their ingredients as local as possible; sometimes they have to travel deeper into the county to do this. As far as rules… the only thing I’ve figured out is that if it grows in Kitsap County, they’ll brew it.
SERVICE: It’s always good. They treat outsiders like me pretty well. I figure that with the several dozen questions about Poulsbo and its happenings, if they haven’t kicked me out, they’re friendly folks.
THE VISION: The owner is a Poulsbo local. He sees a lot of talent in town and he wants to showcase musicians. So he opened up this place. It’s got plenty of room. There isn’t really any place indoors where bands can play. This place seems like it will be a hub to Poulsbo musicians. Look for this in the future.
I will certainly miss the old place. When I started coming to downtown Poulsbo, it looked like another tourist trap. But a few years later, two breweries have moved into town, driving in more locals to the scene. I think it’s a good thing. Sliippery Pig looks like it will do Poulsbo some justice.

We have visited Slippery Pig on a couple of occasions, never at the original farm location but at the location in downtown Poulsbo. It’s a funky spot down by the marina, you’ll either like the mix match of seating and décor inside or you won’t, it doesn’t bother me but I’ve heard others comment on it. What really matters at a brewery is the BEER!
There are plenty of beer options to go around here, unfortunately they just aren’t that good. I’ve never found one that I am crazy about, and several are just plain bad. We haven’t tried the food so I have nothing to say about that. I wish they were better because I dig the name and locaiton.
