We frequently meet Seattle customers that drive 3+ hours every weekend to our can releases, so hopefully that is a good sign that more Northwesterners are curious about trying our hazy IPAs or beer that tastes like Baklava, peanut butter cups, or Tirimisu for example.” “We are jazzed to announce that we will be opening up a taproom in Seattle,” says Paul Reiter, GreatNotion Cofounder. GNB also hosts an Instagram TV show called Catch a Flight with Pauly to dive into other fun adjacent businesses and bring life to friends that own restaurants, DJ, create art and more. Examples include origin story sticker cards, actual real life meet and greets with the Double Stack Sasquatch and fun animations. Great Notion’s characters typically give off a cuddly Northwest vibe and GNB tries to bring the characters and as such, the beers, to life.
