You guys, I have a new obsession. Ginger beer. Not just any ginger beer, but Rachel’s Ginger Beer in Seattle. If you love bold, zesty flavors, small-batch craft drinks, and a spot that feels effortlessly cool, this is your next obsession.

Whether you are a longtime ginger beer fan or just looking for a refreshing alternative to mass-produced sodas or boring cocktails, Rachel’s Ginger Beer is worth the hype, and easily the best part of my recent Seattle visit.

Handcrafted in Seattle with Simple, Local Ingredients

Rachel’s Ginger Beer is handcrafted right here in Seattle, Washington. The magic starts with simple ingredients: fresh lemons, strong roots, organic cane sugar, and clean water. They partner with local farms discovered at Seattle farmers markets, brewing every batch with care and attention to detail.

The brewery offers their original recipe, a standing selection of popular favorite flavors, and rotating seasonal varietals. Every batch is brewed to taste, never too sweet, and always bold and fresh.

Inspired by European Craft Ginger Beer

The founders spent several years living and working in Europe. That’s where they fell in love with proper ginger beer served on tap in neighborhood pubs. They noticed the difference between European craft quality and mass-produced American sodas and decided to bring that craftsmanship to the Pacific Northwest.

The result is a ginger beer that is fresh, fragrant, balanced, and undeniably delicious. If you thought ginger beer was just a mixer or a novelty, Rachel’s will completely change your mind.

The Rachel’s Ginger Beer Experience

Seattle locations are airy, casual, and full of personality. Whether you are grabbing a solo drink, meeting friends for brunch, or tasting a flight of ginger beer, the vibe is playful and welcoming.

My personal favorite is the Classic Ginger Beer, which is simple, bold, and perfectly balanced. Seasonal varieties and spiked options are always worth trying. Each sip tastes like careful craftsmanship and local love poured into a glass.

Tips for visiting:

• Share a flight of ginger beer to taste multiple flavors
• Take your time and savor each sip
• Try the seasonal varieties; they rotate often and are always surprising
