Update I As of October 6 - Final Draft Taphouse Craft Beer Vancouver Wa.

Hey Beer Friends! Per the Governor's changes on Tuesday, October 6, we wanted to share an update about what that means for the taphouse.

We are open with limited 50-percent capacity.

Tables are spaced out in our front and backrooms.

We can now can welcome SIX people (or less) to a table WITHOUT the household restriction.

We have some outdoor seating available dependent on the weather.

Our hours remain the same (for now). Tuesday through Saturday 3 to 9 pm. We are considering expanding our hours and will let everyone know when we do!

We continue to ask that everyone wear a mask. We enforce: No Mask. No Beer.

We continue to take all safety and sanitation precautions.

In addition, we are implementing table signs communicating when a table is ready sanitized - ready/not ready, so it's clear when approaching a table.

ALSO, there are times when we hit capacity. If you see a line, we are most likely on a "wait" for a table, please see the beertenders for table availability before sitting at a table.

Please continue to practice social distancing and all rules (required by law and house rules) as posted.

Online ordering remains available. If you want craft beer to-go, please order online in advance (unless you have a growler...we will fill these with precautions taken) in order to limit lines, time in the taphouse, etc.

We’re proud of the beer we brew on the north bank of the Columbia River!

In its 5th year, Northbank Beer Week looks a bit different. While we'd love to have our annual festivals, tournaments and large events, we'll be limited to safe, sanitized and socially distant events. This doesn't mean we can't have fun. Our Northbank Brewers need the support of our community now more than ever as they face challenges to stay open and continue making the great craft beer our region has become known for. Find an event and show your support! Northbank Beer Week(end) features four days of virtual festivals, beer releases, Oktoberfest-themed days, outdoor movies and you can even race your own beer can racecar! Northbank Beer is you.

With new Govenor Safe Start Re-Opening Plan changes released July 24, we wanted to share and clarify what that means for Final Draft Taphouse.


We will remain open at limited capacity (50%), spaced tables and no bar seating, as we have been since Phase 2 Re-Opening. Here is a summary of our changes to our general operations we previously announced in early June.

Currently we are serving craft beer, cider, wine and NA Beverages. We have a small food menu available as well. We are offering dine-in/drink-in and to-go beer and cider.

Hours are: Tuesday through Saturday - 3 to 9 pm

Inside seating is limited to household members only. 5 people or less.

We’ve changed some tables to smaller sizes as to accommodate smaller groups of the same household. As always, we have a small amount of outdoor seating that we are allowed to have. These will be first come first serve and parties of 5 or less.

We are looking into more outdoor seating and will update here if we are able to add more.

REMINDERS: No Mask. No Beer.

Grace, Love, Kindness, Respect Always.

We will get through this together!

Cheers! Mike & Kimberly, Owners, Final Draft Taphouse

Wear Your Mask Beer Friends! I Vancouver Wa.

Wear Your Mask Beer Friends!

Per Governor Inslee's mask mandate for the general public, starting, Friday, June 26, we're asking that you be "Beer Excellent to Each Other" and wear your mask when entering the taphouse and while moving around the taphouse! 

Once seated, you are free to remove your mask.

If you have an exception, please let us know.

Also, please social distance when you are in the taphouse and adhere to all of our other safety and house policies in place to keep you and us safe. We want everyone to feel and remain safe and healthy while we all continue to curb the spread of the virus and prevent another shutdown. 

We have come this far. There is more diligence to be done though so that we all can be safe in our community and so that Final Draft Taphouse can keep pouring you pints!

Thank you for being RAD and doing your part!

Black Lives Matter I Final Draft Taphouse

We want everyone to know that we fully and deeply believe Black Lives Matter. We’ve always felt that way. The recent events have made us realize that while feeling and saying we are allies is not enough.

We have felt the gamete of emotions as many have and have realized that while emotions are a start, they are not what is important right now. What is important is understanding and acknowledging what our privilege allows us, what our fellow Americans of color are going through and what they have been going through for 400 years. 

What is also important to us is taking action. We have been taking action personally as owners and as a taphouse. We are listening, learning, putting our money into helping eradicate systems that keep people of color oppressed, and have been having conversations in our families, communities, and will be doing so in Vancouver and in craft beer. 

 We are a taphouse that believes in doing what is right. What we believe is right is…

Choosing courage over comfort, choosing what is right over what is fun, fast or easy…and choosing to practice our values over processing them. ~ Brene Brown

 There needs to be zero tolerance in this country for racism. The people are speaking and have spoken. We cannot continue with hatred and discrimination that is so imbedded in our systems and communities.

What we are experiencing right now…is our opportunity for the future. 

We must care when people are dealing with prejudice and systematic racism. This is a fight for humanity. So we can live in a world without hate and racism and where people are loved and do not have to worry about their safety when they are walking down the street or when they are going into a pub for a pint.

We also believe that community and connection with others is of the utmost importance in our business and in life. And we achieve this through storytelling….getting to know each other deeper through our stories and our experiences. There are many stories of People of Color that are not being heard, sought out, taught, and listened to. That will be our focus.

We wanted to share these voices of educators that we are looking to, to understand what we can do to fight racism in our communities as well as how to work at inclusivity, equity and justice. We have reached out to Dr. J and have become members of Craft Beer For All so we can develop strategies in our craft-beer business.

Beer Diversity – Ren Navarro - Instagram @beer_diversity http://www.beer-diversity.com

We are starting give-back nights at the taphouse starting Thursday, June 11. Every Thursday through July 16, at the taphouse, we will be donating $1 per pint to organizations helping to eliminate race-based discrimination and are dedicated to Black liberation and to collective liberation. In addition, we will be donating $5 per Adventure Pack purchased online. Donations will go to our local chapter of the NAACP and Black Visions Collective (BLVC).

https://www.naacpvancouverwa.org - The Vancouver Branch works to continue its efforts to improve equality and justice in our community.  Wherever there is a need, they are there to advocate for equal treatment and justice for all people.   

www.blackvisionsmn.org - BLVC is committed to a long term vision in which All Black lives not only matter, but are able to thrive. 

 We know that we will never understand fully. We know that we will not get everything right. We are going to learn, start conversations, sit in the “uncomfortable,” stand in solidarity with our Black sisters and brothers, and do the work. We do not want this to be the final draft of history. We need change. We need it now!

With that said, your experience will be different than in times past for dine-in, hanging inside the taphouse. We have implemented all of the social-distancing and “Start Safe” guidelines in the taphouse as well as have put in place some of our own ‘house’ guidelines in order to provide safe service to ensure our staff and our guests at Final Draft Taphouse are safe and remain healthy.

As we have, we are taking this situation very seriously and want to share with all of you what changes you will see when you visit us now!

Table Seating Only/No Bar Seating - No bar seating will be allowed during Phase 2 Re-opening. This means everyone will need to order and find a table to enjoy their craft beer and relax.

Order at the Bar in Designated Areas - We have designated areas to order once you are in the taphouse. Please adhere to these in order to ensure social distancing. This will also ensure that we are able to clean surface areas properly.

50% Capacity Only! And a Wait List! - During Phase 2 of the Re-Opening process in Washginton, we are only allowed to have dine-in capacity at 50 percent. If people are waiting, we will ask that guests limit their visits to one and one half hours. In addition, we will have a “wait-list” in which we will take your name, phone number and text you when the next available table is ready. We will not be taking reservations so this will be on a first come, first serve basis. You may want to call ahead to see where we are with capacity.

Taphouse phone: 360-433-9966

Adhere to all Social Distancing! Please adhere to all social distancing - Standing 6 feet apart at all times.

When moving about the taphouse, please keep 6 feet of distance between you and other beer friends!
