The Ballard beer scene continues to grow. Lucky Envelope opened in 2015 and at the time was brewery 9 (give or take). When they first thought of opening in 2011, there were only 3 breweries in the neighborhood. Now in 2018, there are 11 breweries and the area is finally showing signs of slowing down. For the past 3 years, Lucky Envelope has been brewing consistently the best beers of the neighborhood. Barry is too humble to agree, so you'll have to take the Burke Gilman trail over to Ballard sometime and try them all out yourself.
