Cue the ceremonial hop confetti and raise your tasting glasses to the sky—Gig Harbor just got a little wetter, a little hoppier, and a whole lot more deliciously drinkable.

Welcome to the South Sound suds scene, Wet Coast Brewing Company. Yes, that’s the actual name, and yes, we’re already in love. Now officially open at 6820 Kimball Drive, Wet Coast is your new sacred stop on the Highway of Fermented Intentions, nestled snugly in Gig Harbor like a citrus-forward secret waiting to be whispered into your pint.

This is not a drill. This is not another “coming soon” sign taunting you with dry tongue and dashed hope. This is open. This is pouring. This is the kind of place where the Pacific Northwest does what it does best: clouds above, grains below, and somewhere in between, a brewery full of quiet revolution and resinous magic.

Let the South Sound rejoice. Let your IPAs be bold, your porters indulgent, and your beer journeys forever include a pit stop at Wet Coast. You’re gonna want to stay hydrated.
