Gilligan’s Brewing Tops Out All About Beer’s Nanobrewing Article
Local Seattlites Gilligan’s Brewing don the front page of All About Beer’s website today, as a part of the magazine’s article on Nanobrewing.
A sharp photo of Gilligan’s marketing genius Mark Leavens (and guest poster at BeerBlotter.com) appears on the front page and within the article, which focuses on the success of nanobrewers across the country. Brewers Barnyard Brewing, Worth Brewing, Energen Brewing Co., and Vine Park Brewing Co. (MN’s own), join Gilligan’s as the focus of the piece.
Author Amanda Baltazar is a local Northwesterner who was born and raised in the UK. Now a writer at All About Beer, Amanda took a liking to Gilligan’s Activspace brewspot on the Burke-Gilman trail. Unfortunately, as we announced in a past article, Gilligan’s shut down operations and moved from the space. Plans are underway to reboot the company and focus on a brewpub business image.
But, we are starting to truly miss our wonderful Sundays down on the trail, drinking Imperial Chamomile Ale and one of the best Pale Ales we have ever had! Brewer Seth Gilligan does a wonderful job of managing malts, and his product was certainly worth the modest price tag.
Check out the article and remember to support your local NW nanobrewer. Believe me, they need a lot of help to keep their kettles boiling!



I’m bummed I never made it to their little place. But fear not! There is a new nanobrewery in Seattle: Epic Ales. I was just there on Friday and really impressed with the beers (I only had two of his offerings.) The tasting room is very small, but fun and it open Fridays, 3:30-8. Recommended.
Thanks Dave. Actually, we were there on Friday as well (one of our writers). They are being showcased in our 52 Weeks column this week!
