The Human People Beer Cafe Opens on June 7th
The date has been set for the much-anticipated opening of Seattle’s Human People Beer: June 7, 2025. The Human People Beer Cafe is located near the corner of NE Roosevelt Way and Ravenna Boulevard in Seattle (6105a Roosevelt Way NE), three short blocks from the Roosevelt light rail station, on the retail level of the Novo Apartments building. Human People Beer has established itself on the local beer scene and has produced some crowd-pleasing beers; however, this marks the company’s first dedicated, full-time location.
They describe it on social media as the all-day hangout of their hazy daydreams. The Human People Beer Cafe will be bright and airy, cozy and rustic, with little treats for all times of day: coffee in the morning, sandwiches in the afternoon, and lots of tasty Human People Beer offerings.
Over a year ago, I introduced Human People Beer, which was a coming-soon brewery with plans to open in Seattle. The initial plan to open near the Lake Washington Ship Canal fell apart, sadly, but that did not deter these human people. They began brewing beer, nomad style, with their many friends at other breweries, releasing the beers to a growing number of Human People Beer fans at pop-up events. And the beers were good! That’s been the story up to this point.
So, who are the human people behind Human People Beer? The three partners in Human People Beer are no strangers to the beer industry or the city of Seattle. Collectively, their pedigree involves years of experience at Modern Times Beer, Admiral Maltings (a boutique maltster out of California), and some other stops along the way. Without dragging you through the details, it is fair to say they are embedded in the craft beer industry, from the hop field to the pint glass.

All three founders have family in the Seattle area, not to mention many friends in the local brewing community. They spent a lot of time here before deciding to open in Seattle. In fact, Andrew Schwartz told me, “From the time we decided to open a brewery, Seattle was always in the plan.”
Andrew added, “Seattle has one of the most diverse, interesting, and mature beer scenes in the nation. Breweries here are making unique and interesting beers, alongside other breweries making solid, more basic styles. People express themselves through beer. The quality is very high. Seattle people appreciate stuff from elsewhere, but the quality is very high here.”
He understands that if you’re going to make it on the Seattle beer scene, you better come correct. Whether focusing on straightforward beers or wildly creative stuff, you must do it well. So far, Human People Beer has not disappointed anyone. The beers tasted polished, thoughtful, and expertly executed from the onset. Those are not things I often say about new breweries, but this is not a normal new brewery. These folks have chops. We’ll share updates as the opening of The Human People Beer Cafe nears.
