Back in Georgetown, after a long Saturday at work, Great Notions has been on my radar since first trying a few of their brews while residing in the Bay Area Cali, so many great breweries in the Georgetown area, it's taken some time to visit most of them... one or two still in the list, but a few already visited multiple times. Great Notions has some unique takes on beers, not just your average multiple choices of IPA's, but many uniquely flavored beers, which many are still waiting to try, as this visit was focused on trying some of their newly tapped fresh hopped ales, which one of which I got the kick the keg, last pour... Thanks! Shawn! Both of the fresh hops ales were great tasting, hopp...
I typically go to the Great Notion in Ballard, and once I tried their Edge of Dessert smoothie style beer I 've been stalking their Un-Tapped list ever since awaiting its ' return to the rotation. I like beer and I LOVE Great Notion beer! It 's like they have the sweet-toothed woman in mind when creating these super creative beers. I drove to Georgetown today after a month long wait for this beer, and it 's SO worth it. I would also recommend any of their beers made with milk sugars. Sounds so weird, but seriously so YUM!
I appreciate the beer and the service, but unfortunately, I can't give this restaurant a higher rating due to the parking situation. I'm forced to stick with one star because finding a place to park is a real challenge. Be aware that you now have to pay for parking, and there's a property owner who charges for it. They even send people around to issue tickets for parking in their empty lot. The owner seems more concerned with making money than being a decent part of the community.
I've been here 5 times, but was only able to enjoy the beer one time. If you're going to be closed outside of normal hours, please update your information on Google. Great beer. Awesome staff. (Took a photo of my view since the bar closed, during normal business hours). Kind of disappointing because I was so excited to come here for the vibes and brews.

I'd love to share my thoughts on the beers, but unfortunately, the restaurant was closed without any notice. It was quite a frustrating surprise after driving across town and waking the baby up to enter. It would be great if the website could be updated next time.
While looking for a brewery in the Seattle area, I stumbled upon Great Notion! Mostly sours, but a few IPAs and Seltzers. Tony was great and recommended some good options!
Looks like a really cool spot. First brewery I've been to that is NOT kid friendly. They were nice enough to suggest a local brewery that's kid friendly.
The restaurant offers an excellent range of unique fruit beers, along with a strong selection of hazy and New England IPAs, and a handful of stouts too.

Love their beers, especially as a sour and Pilsner fan. Love the atmosphere, locale and service. High marks on all of the above.
Great beers. Great atmosphere. Always a fun time. Highly recommend.
