Black Raven Brewing Company is a brewery based in the Eastside of King County, Washington. The Redmond, Washington brewery and 34-seat brewpub opened in 2009,[1] and a 100-seat brewpub in Woodinville opened in 2019, along with larger production facility there to enable distribution to Hawaii and other states.[2]

In 2010, The Seattle Times said it may be the state's first cult beer, with frequent sell-outs of taps, and customers waiting outside the Redmond brew pub for opening time in the afternoon.[3] According to CNN, the brewery produced "some of the best brews in the state [of Washington]" in 2015;[4] Thrillist listed them as one of the top 13 in the state in 2015;[5] and three of their brews were rated among the best 30 in Washington state in 2023, according to Beer Advocate.[6]

The brewery won two gold awards and a silver award at the Brewers Association World Beer Cup in 2010,[7] and a gold medal at Washington Beer Awards in 2017.[8] The brewery's Trickster IPA was one of several Washington micro brews selected in an expansion of the beers on tap onboard Washington State Ferries in 2017 to "hyper-local products and iconic beers from around the state".[9]
