Brewery Profile
Varietal Beer Company
In Sunnyside’s small-city beer scene, Varietal Beer Company functions as both a microbrewery and a taproom stop for people looking to see what is currently being brewed in the lower Yakima Valley. A visitor walking in should expect the taplist to be a central part of the experience rather than a fixed lineup that stays the same from one trip to the next. The brewery is known for keeping its offerings in rotation, with new recipes and styles introduced over time. That means the visit is less about ordering a single signature beer and more about checking what is available that day, including beers made on site and, at times, guest taps or ciders brought in for limited engagements.
Travelers moving through this agricultural part of Washington often look for tasting-room experiences that reflect the region’s producer culture: places where the point is to sample, compare, and talk through what is being poured. Varietal fits that pattern by offering a range of beers intended for different levels of consumption and interest, from casual drinkers who want one glass to visitors who pay close attention to style changes and recipe development. Because the taplist changes frequently, the brewery can appeal to people who like variety without requiring them to know in advance exactly what will be on draft. For beer-focused travelers, the stop can serve as a snapshot of current brewing activity in Sunnyside rather than a museum of permanent house standards.
Practical planning should start with the taproom itself, since the day’s pours are the most important variable. The current list may include Varietal’s own beers as well as occasional guest taps and ciders, but those outside offerings should be treated as limited and not guaranteed. Other visit details, such as food availability, events, seating arrangements, family policies, or outdoor space, are not established here and should be confirmed directly with the brewery before making firm plans. For most visitors, the best approach is simple: arrive ready to read the board, ask what has recently changed, and choose based on the taproom’s current selection rather than expecting a static menu.
Established in Sunnyside, Washington, Varietal Beer Company operates as a microbrewery and taproom situated within the lower Yakima Valley agricultural region.

Varietal maintains a frequently rotating taplist, ensuring that new recipes and styles are consistently introduced to the public. In addition to their own brews, the taproom often features guest taps and ciders available for limited engagements.
