Founded in October, 1994, the Lab produces some of the tastiest brews in the northwest and serves up some simple, yet excellent, pub fare. Outside on the back covered patio is a great place to relax and converse with friends or hang out with your canine. They are proud to be a casual brew pub where people can enjoy quality products in an unpretentious atmosphere.
