Streetcar Brewing: 123A 1st St E
Although Streetcar is one of the closest breweries to the seabus, you may not have ever realized it was there - Tucked away off Lonsale on 1st street, the only indication of a brewery is an inconspicuous door between two storefronts that leads downstairs to a very cool brewery with a laid back alleyway patio space. Inspired by our neighborhood’s deep history, Streetcar combines traditional brewing staples with contemporary flavors. They feature a wide range of beers range from classic to experimental, so no matter what you like to drink, they will be able to satisfy.
