## About

Top Down Brewing Company was born 21 years ago; beginning as a hobby in Chad’s garage serving family and friends, has grown to a 1,584 square foot space serving our community in the heart of Sumner, WA. In 2000, we started with a vertical, 3-tiered gravity-fed brewing system purchased from a local homebrew store in South Hill. In 2021, our dream has expanded into a one-of-a-kind, 7 bbl brewery where the beer still comes from the Top Down!

While our name was born from our first gravity-fed system, there’s more to our story…we also believe that everyone – from the owners, to our employees, and our patrons – should have a say in how the brewery can best represent us all. We aim to create a great brew and environment that will appeal to beer coinsurers and welcome those new to craft beer, by removing any barriers or intimidation.
