Budge Brothers Brewery

Really good beers, recommend the chocolate stout-​smooth and delicious. Hop Train IPA has delicious flavor and no bitterness. Flavorful popcorn to snack on while you taste. Free 3 oz samples of every beer on tap– so you can easily pick your pint. Awesome Bruce pours great beer and is very knowledgeable. Go here– you won’t be sorry.

The best, most inexpensive beer around. I’ve filled a couple growlers — $ 5 each! The guy at the bar is friendly and helpful — I wish I remembered his name. I’ve been meaning to stick around for a pint because the community there is always nice and inviting.

I really enjoyed this brewery. It’s small so your able to talk to the Brewers and some nice local regulars. I had the eggnog stout. This was a special holiday version of their stout which was apparently half eggnog half stout. It’s about an 8% beer and definitely doesn’t taste like it! I would definitely stop here again if I were ever in the area.

Amazing place! Delicious beer and free food on the day I showed up. Kid friendly and made me feel like family. I’ve been going to breweries since the 90’s. Best one yet. Thank you Budge brothers.

Best Spokane brewery. Stout is a standout and IPAs are A+. Beers bring me back, but then you have the awesome brothers running it, the great people drinking there, and free popcorn! Not to mention the cheap prices. Can’t recommend enough.

In a city where there are tons of breweries, they definitely stand out with their fresh beers!
We got the rotating beer which had cranberries in it and DH got the IPA. Both were outstanding! Bartender/​owner was super friendly and attentive behind the counter. There’s also complimentary popcorn to snack on. Pints are 4 bucks!
Definitely will be back!

Get some!!!

This place is the best. Everybody is super friendly and the beer is great. Don’t miss Budge Brothers in Spokane!

Well, given the location, I was more expecting an auto parts store, but I found a brewery instead. Gotta stop into a brewery.
The first thing that struck me upon entering was just how tiny this place is. There is very little seating in there, and can’t accommodate more than about 20 people or so. No real bar seating, and only a few tables. Definitely not a large group place.
I was a little disappointed to see that they only had 5 beers on tap. They were all their own, which was nice, but not a huge number. Four of the beers were «flagship», in that they’re nearly always on; they only had one seasonal, which was their Fruity Beer when I arrived. The beers are all pretty good (including the Fruity Beer, which is a style I normally dislike). I’d happily drink the beer again.
They have some popcorn for munching, which was really quite fantastic. But no other food.
All in all, it was a decent trip here. Just not all that I want from a brewery.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with Budge Brothers. The friends we were with said they hadn’t been a big fan of the beer when they’d tasted it in the past, so I didn’t have very high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised!
This is still a pretty small-​potatoes operation; one of the Brothers was there and chatted with us a bit. Apparently, they’re not quite big enough to advertise — they can’t make beer fast enough for it to make sense to spread the word further. It sounds like they’re doing pretty well, though.
Samples were FREE for first-​time tasters, which is AWESOME. Plus, they had this amazing popcorn they were just handing out. I have no idea what it was seasoned with, but it was bomb.
The beer was really good (although, again, skewed very heavily toward the IPA side of things), and we ended up buying pints before we left… and my boyfriend ended up buying a pig of their stout.

Budge Brothers has been one of the most friendly and one on one experience that I have had at a brewery in a very long time!
Upon entering we were warmly greeted and Steve and I started chatting it up with one of the brothers working the counter. We told him it was our first time there and he let us have some free samples of all of their beer they had on tap. All of it was good but we settled on the Stout as being our favorite and we got a pint of it once we finished the samples. The Stout I really do recommend!
They kept providing us with popcorn which we happily snacked on, it was complimentary!
Our experience at Budge Brothers was fun and we will look forward to a second round whenever we make it back to Spokane!

Great beers, great prices. Bruce and Brad are always welcoming!

Super simple set up right now, but these guys know what they are doing and offer some great beer. Stop by if you can. You won’t be disappointed.

Beer is awesome. Great place to hang out with the guys. You must get a pig!

Fun little place to go. Really friendly guys who work there and super friendly people sitting around who aren’t afraid to talk to you.
Great beer too.
Go in, meet them and sample their brews. I’m glad I did.

Great Brewery! Spokamber is my fav! Keep it coming guys!

What a great up and coming brewery! Two brothers. Five years brewing. Four beers.
1. Spokamber: Amber ale that would be appealing to most beer drinkers light but flavorful.
2. Orangutan: Pale ale with a lot of hops. It tastes a lot like an IPA but not as bitter.
3. Hop Train: IPA with tons of hops. Delicious.
4. Extra Stout: Stout with a little smoke to it. Not too heavy but flavorful.
Brad and Bruce will also walk you around the brewery and chat you up hardcore. Pints are $ 2.50 (!!!daaaaaaaang!!). You can buy a growler for $ 5 and they’ll fill it for $ 7 – 9 (depending on the ABV of the beer you buy) — DOUBLE DAAAAANG!
They also do Party Pigs (which hold the equivalent to a case of beer) for $ 45 – 50 but to refill is only $ 25 – 30. But it’s a pig. Of beer. Kinda awesome.
Thus far, they aren’t in a ton of bars because they are trying to grow slow and steady (it wins the race) but go in and try it out. They are open Wednesday and Thursday 4 – 7, Friday and Saturday 2 – 8 and Sunday 2 – 6!
I would pour a little of my beer out for the Budge Bros and the good work they do… but why let a good beer go to waste?

This is a brewery to watch! They have just gotten started, but from what I tasted on Saturday they have a bright future. After talking to them and finding out that Fred Colby of Laughing Dog Brewing is one of their mentors I can see that they have taken his advice.
When my husband, who is a die hard Ruination from Stone Brewing fan, says that their IPA is pretty close to as good… I know we have found a winner.
Everyone from our Bikes and Brews Crew loved their beers and everyone will be back!

Great new brewery now open in Spokane!
