Day 301 of 365 Things To Do In Edmonds, WA – American Brewing Company

The Founder and President, Neil Fallon, is new to the brewing industry but not new to building businesses from the ground up.  The last twenty years he has been involved in the real estate industry, eventually doing business under his own moniker, Neil Fallon Development.  With several completed communities under his belt it was time to try something new. The prospect of venturing into the microbrewery business was a temptation he couldn’t resist.

 But where to begin? Two criteria were at the top of his list: the location and the brewer.  Through a long process of elimination it came down to a brewer, Skip Madsen, and a location, the City of Edmonds, who warmly welcomed us from the start.

Skip Madsen has been brewing beer since 1992.  He is an esteemed craftsman with deep roots in the Northwest’s micro brewing community. Skip embodies the epitome of a world class brewer.  He has the mind of a chemist, the physical strength required to brew and the heart and soul of an artist.  His skill elevates him and his creations.

They are located at : 180 W. Dayton St. ,  Warehouse 102,  Edmonds, WA  98020
