Optimism Brewing Company was founded in 2013 by husband and wife, Troy Hakala and Gay Gilmore. As long-time Capitol Hill residents, Troy and Gay were determined to build the brewery in their beloved neighborhood because of its rich culture and diversity. While building an enormous 16,000 sq. ft. brewery in the middle of one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods was certainly not an inexpensive endeavor, Troy and Gay had their hearts and minds set on raising their brewery in the same place they raised their children.
After over a year of location scouting and another two years of construction and rehabilitation of the 100-year old warehouse upon which we built the brewery’s foundation, we officially opened our doors and served our first beers on December 5, 2015: the anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition.
