Our brewery was started in 2010, with sales from our tasting area starting in June 2011. We are farmers first, and our beer reflects that. With sustainability one of our main goals, we source as many ingredients locally as possible. We use Washington Select 2-row barley as our base malt for most of our beers. Most of the other malts we use are from barley, or wheat grown in Washington. All of our hops are Washington grown.

We do have a reputation of pushing the envelope on what beer can be. Here at the Slippery Pig, we truly believe that beer is art, and that as the artists, we love to explore different mediums. Our tap list does usually contain pale Ales, and reds, and of course IPA’s and stouts and Porters, but you will also find beers brewed with farm raised rhubarb, wild harvested Cedar tips, and other experimental ingredients.

You may also notice that we occasionally use Scandinavian names on our beers. That is because we are proud of our Scandinavian heritage, and our head brewer Dave is a 5th generation resident of Little Norway.

In 2014, we opened our current location in beautiful downtown Poulsbo. After gutting the building, putting a fresh coat of paint on everything, and expelling the demons that plagued the building for years, we opened the doors for the summer crowd. Since then we have become one of the premiere destinations in North Kitsap for live music, entertainment, and our delicious beer! Come visit Slippery Pig for great beer, good food, and fun with all your favorite local friends.
