We’re releasing a couple of new beers this month and the first is this wonderful Dark Lager.
Brewed with German-sourced malts and hops, fermented with our house Bavarian yeast, then lagered for a couple of months, this is a beer shows that dark beers don’t have to be heavy and weigh you down.
Get it, starting today, at both locations. 5.4% ABV

WA Pint Days is back and runs now through Saturday. There’s a new design for this year’s glass, and you can get one of your very own by visiting one of our two locations and ordering a beer in a WA Pint Glass. Keep the glass for an extra $2 on top of the beer price. Or, if you just want to grab a glass, you can purchase one for $5.
They were super popular last year and sold out quickly.
In addition to supporting your local brewery (that’s us), $1 from each glass purchase goes to the Washington Brewer’s Guild – a group we’ve been part of since our early days, which works on behalf of us and other independent breweries in the state.
(Note that prices do not include sales tax)

Oh, what a beautiful sight as we transfer our gorgeous dark ruby lager into its home for the next several months.
We had the pleasure of brewing with the two Dons recently: Don Spencer from Poulsbo’s @valhollbrewing and Don Webb from Seattle’s @oldstovebeer . We got to know these guys back when they were with their former breweries (Silver City and Naked City, respectively). In the tanks now … a wonderfully balanced German-style Bock. But, pack your patience, as this beer won’t be seen again, outside of stainless, until late February, as it needs time to let the magic happen.

Need a break from holiday preparations? Stop in and recharge—we have a selection of brunch items available until 2 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, like our baked to order quiches, pecan sticky buns, and biscuits with spicy sausage gravy.
Did you know that most of our smoked meats are prepared in house at the Bistro & Beer Garden? By making our own bratwursts and smoking our own roast beef, pastrami, bacon, duck breast, and scallops, we keep the quality of the food we serve at the highest level. No artificial fillers or mystery meats at our place!
Need an escape from this blustery weather? We’ve got power, and plenty of hot meal options at the Bistro & Beer Garden to help brighten up this gloomy Monday.
𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗣𝗔: What happens when you’re an Airways Mile High Mug Club member and you drink a lot of our beer? You reach the bonus level where you get to design your own beer and join us on brew day to help make it all come together. Mug Club member Dave Kneip did just that and asked us to brew a Rye-based IPA. The resulting beer is crisp and clean, with notes of tropical fruit and citrus from New Zealand Taiheke and Green Bullet hops.
You don’t have to be a Mug Club member to enjoy it – it’s on at both locations starting today.
Mug Club Members: Over the next few weeks, we’ll update you on kicking things back into gear starting in January, so watch your inboxes.
Thank you to all veterans, and family members, for the sacrifices and services made to keep our country safe.
Both Airways locations are open normal hours today.
Happy birthday to us! The Bistro & Beer Garden celebrated 10 years on Monday. This weekend, we have a freshened up fall menu with new dishes and flavors including smoked duck breast, cioppino, jagerschnitzel, and new cocktails. For dessert, be sure and try one of our birthday cake martinis made with white chocolate liqueur. And we have a selection of complimentary desserts to go with any purchase, for as long as they last. Our full menu can be found on our website.
Cheers to 10 years! Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day we opened the doors to the Bistro & Beer Garden in downtown Kent. We are continuously grateful for all of the customers and employees that have been part of this journey, and we hope you’ll join us as we celebrate November 5-7 with our new fall menu, special drinks, and other specials throughout the weekend.
When it comes to building the perfect burger, every ingredient matters. We get our ground beef from @mondoandsons in Tukwila, a fourth generation family owned butcher shop that focuses on locally sourced and sustainably raised meats. Our brioche buns from @macrinabakery are made daily right here in Kent. Add to that some 2 year aged cheddar, caramelized onions, arugula, and garlic/black pepper aioli that we make ourselves. You can even ask to add some of our house smoked bacon. Try it with a side of our famous truffle fries, and you’ll see why this burger is the most popular item at the Bistro & Beer Garden.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼!: We’ve kept this (mostly) to ourselves these past few months, but we can finally share: We’re expanding the outdoor area at The Bistro & Beer Garden in a big way. Our patio plans include an increase in size, a permanent covering that can be adjusted for the weather, bike racks, a new restroom and built-in heaters. We’re also adding a small kitchen with a walk-up window which will offer smoked and grilled items.
When it’s all done, we’ll have over 100 seats for you to enjoy our delicious food, along with one of our beers or hand-crafted cocktails. And, you'll be able to sit outside almost year-round.
We’re aiming to be done in Spring of 2022 and we can’t wait to show it off to you. For now, here’s some drawings which kind of, sort of give you an idea of what’s happening.
Who else is ready for Friday? Get this weekend going with some house favorites, like our wild cod and chips.
With “The Shat” having been successfully shot into space, we’re celebrating with our annual autumn release of Space Church IPA. This out-of-this-world beer returns with all of it's citrusy, tropical-fruit-like goodness. Loaded with Galaxy, Citra and Comet hops, there's a reason it's one of our most popular beers and tends to go fast.
Available in cans and on draft at both locations.

𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗻, 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗻, 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗻: 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗿. Brewed with more than a hundred pounds of wet, fresh Sterling hops from Crosby Farms in Oregon, the simplicity of this beer really allows the spicy and subtle citrus notes from the Sterlings to shine through. 5.0% ABV.
The Story Behind the Name: In our odd numbering system, this was supposed to be batch #999, but the fresh hops were ready for picking earlier than planned. So, it was Nein, Nein, Nein (no, no, no) to our plans. You, however, will want to say “Ja, Ja, Ja” (yes, yes, yes) to this delicious Pilsner.
Available in cans, while they last and, of course, on draft.
