How we score

The editorial take

Hellbent Brewing Company runs a 20-tap taproom where the beer is brewed in-house and poured alongside cider and bottles. The lineup includes Sunshine Hazy Pale Ale, Dang! Citra IPA, Red Patina Amber Ale, Northwest Pilsner, and IPA, plus packaged Mossback Monk Belgian Tripel and Training Montage Double IPA. Red Patina earned Silver at World Beer Cup 2022 and Gold at Washington Beer Awards 2019; Sunshine took Platinum 'Best in the Northwest' from SIP Magazine 2020. A second location in Wenatchee operates with 20 tap handles and a full bar.

What should I order?: Start with Red Patina Amber Ale, a World Beer Cup Silver and Washington Beer Awards Gold winner at 6% ABV and 32 IBU. For hop-forward drinking, Dang! Citra IPA is a 6.6% ABV, 60 IBU American IPA with a Washington Beer Awards Bronze. Sunshine Hazy Pale Ale, a Platinum 'Best in the Northwest' winner, is another strong choice.
Who will enjoy this place?: Anyone who wants a brewery-owned taproom with a broad, award-recognized house selection. The mix of hazy pale ale, IPA, amber, pilsner, and packaged Belgian Tripel and Double IPA gives hop-focused and malt-focused drinkers clear options.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: Hellbent brews and serves its own beer, with award hardware across multiple styles: World Beer Cup Silver for Red Patina Amber Ale, Washington Beer Awards Gold for Red Patina, Bronze for Dang! Citra IPA, and Platinum 'Best in the Northwest' from SIP Magazine for Sunshine. The taproom pours 20 taps plus cider and bottles, and a second location in Wenatchee runs 20 tap handles with a full bar.
