Brewery Profile

Badass Backyard Brewing

In Spokane Valley’s beer scene, visitors to this taproom find a small-batch brewery built around frequent experimentation rather than a fixed, narrowly defined lineup. Established in 2015, Badass Backyard Brewing is owned and directed by founder Charlene Honcik, who also serves as head brewer. The room functions as the public face of that brewing approach: a place to sample changing flavors, follow the latest variation, and see how a compact local brewery keeps its menu active. The weekly release of a new beer variant gives repeat visitors a reason to check back, while first-time guests can expect the taproom itself to be the best source for what is currently pouring.

Travelers spending time around Spokane Valley and the wider Spokane area often look for taprooms that offer a direct sense of local production: fresh pours, rotating options, and a setting that does not require a formal tour to understand what the brewery is doing. This stop fits that pattern because the beer program is centered on small batches and recipe changes, not on a long list of permanent brands. For visitors who enjoy comparing variations, asking about what changed from one batch to the next, or trying something newly released, the weekly rhythm is a defining part of the experience. The appeal is less about a single signature beer and more about seeing what Honcik has put on tap that week.

For practical planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since the lineup changes and the brewery is known for introducing a new variant each week. Games are available for patrons, making it workable for a relaxed stop rather than only a quick tasting. Honcik personally serves in the taproom Tuesday through Friday, which may be useful for visitors hoping to talk with the founder and head brewer during their visit. Saturday operations are handled by staff. Other visit details, such as current hours, specific beers, food arrangements, or event schedules, should be checked directly with the brewery before making a special trip.
