Grand Opening on May 23rd
In March, we shared news that Logan Brewing of Burien, Washington, was opening a second location: a brewery and taproom in nearby Kent, Washington. The former home of Airways Brewing, which closed last year, was getting a bit of a makeover while Logan Brewing waited for permits and licensing. Today we happily share news that Logan Brewing will open its new-to-them location in Kent on Friday, May 23rd. Here’s the announcement from social media, as well as our original story

Another local brewery is taking over the former Airways Brewing location in Kent
It’s been a poorly kept secret, but Logan Brewing didn’t want to make any assumptions or official announcements until the paperwork was settled. Today, the Burien-based brewery announced its plans to take over the Airways Brewing taproom and brewery in Kent.
As we reported, Airways Brewing closed the first of its two locations, the Bistro in downtown Kent, in October last year. A month later, it announced it was going out of business entirely and closing the brewery and taproom on 212th Street. It left a hole in the community. Airways Brewing’s owners hoped another brewery would move in and fill the void. That’s what just happened.
Chris Polumbo (above) is one of the owners at Logan Brewing. He says that the paint is drying and they’re waiting on permits, but he hopes to open it to the public in May or June. He is noticeably excited about this development. The brewery has been looking for a way to increase production for some time, a problem that this development solves. Moving forward, Logan Brewing will produce much more beer, using the relatively new, state-of-the-art brewing equipment that Airways left behind.
“Logan Brewing is growing,” Chris said in the announcement. “We will be carrying on the legacy of Airways Brewing by taking over their former production brewery and taproom in Kent… We’re so excited to put down more roots in South King County! Born in Burien, Made in Kent!”
Logan Brewing’s current location, a brewery and taproom in downtown Burien, is just 10 miles away from what will become its second home at 8611 S 212th Street, Kent, WA. The Burien location will stay open. We will share any developments here on the blog. Otherwise, follow Logan Brewing on Instagram and Facebook.
