Located in Tacoma’s vibrant Brewery District, Sig Brewing Company has quickly become a beacon for craft beer enthusiasts and libation adventure seekers since opening its doors in 2020. Known for pushing boundaries with inventive flavors and approachable, high-quality beers, Jeff Stokes and the team at Sig Brewing bring something truly special to Tacoma’s well-established craft beer scene. Whether you're a local or just passing through or an industry vet in Tacoma, Sig's welcoming taproom and eclectic beer selection make it a must-visit destination.
When Sig Brewing started to form, they wanted a brewer with a passion for thinking outside the box and a work ethic/mind to push the boundaries of beer and flavor. They landed on a true master of his craft, industry vet Jeff Stokes and his wild creativity is the driving force behind every beer produced at Sig. The team at Sig Brewing has earned a reputation for taking risks and experimenting with unique ingredients and brewing techniques. While the Pacific Northwest is known for its love of IPAs and lagers, Sig Brewing adds a playful twist to these styles, often blending traditional brewing methods with unconventional flavor profiles.
For example, Sig’s tap list frequently features beers like Popsicle-inspired IPAs and Cotton Candy Sours—flavor-packed brews that appeal to adventurous palates. But even with these bold innovations, the brewery maintains a strong commitment to quality, making sure each beer is balanced, drinkable, and well-crafted.
Although Sig is known for its more experimental side, it still excels at brewing classic beer styles. Their hazy IPAs are fan favorites, loaded up with tropical fruit notes and a smooth, fluffy, mouthfeel. At the same time, their crisp lagers and clean pale ales provide a refreshing alternative for those seeking something more traditional. Their ability to produce both quirky, out-of-the-box beers and timeless, well-executed staples is a key factor in how Sig Brewing sets itself apart in a very, well-established, beer scene in Tacoma.
And, if you lean more towards the dark, rich, more robust beers, Jeff and Sig Brewing have no shortage of dark, rich, robust stouts and decadent porters that are full of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee flavors. These beers often feature seasonal twists, such as their S’mores Stout, which layers flavors of marshmallow, chocolate, and graham crackers for a dessert-like drinking experience.
Sig Brewing’s willingness to experiment and be adventurous means their tap list is constantly changing, enticing its regulars and customers to enjoy the seasonality of some beers, while also being eager and looking forward to what may follow in its place. Jeff loves to play with smaller-batch beers, taking inspiration and using ingredients like fruits, candy, and spices to create bold, unexpected flavors. Whether it’s a fruity sour with local Washington cherries or a dessert stout with caramel and vanilla, Sig continuously expanding its boundaries, offering something new and exciting to try with each visit.
Their focus on limited releases keeps customers coming back for the latest beer drop, knowing they’ll always find something fresh on tap. It’s this dynamic approach that has helped Sig sustain through COVID and stand out in a crowded craft beer market.
Despite its bold and innovative approach to beer, Sig Brewing is deeply rooted in its Tacoma community. The brewery frequently hosts events, collaborates with local businesses, and engages with its loyal customer base through social media and brewery tours. Their passion for craft beer is matched by their dedication to creating a welcoming, inclusive space for all.
Sig Brewing is more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s a place to experience the creativity and passion of Tacoma’s craft beer community. With every new release, they showcase their commitment to pushing boundaries while staying true to the core values of quality and craftsmanship.
