While 7 Seas Brewing has been in existence since 2008, a fire in January 2009 at the original downtown Gig Harbor address meant the two young beer makers and co-owners, Travis Guterson and Mike Runion, had to relocate. Popularity and growth forced them to move to their current and much larger location back in downtown Gig Harbor. 7 Seas Brewing Co. now occupies the 11,000 sq/ft former QFC grocery store with an 8,600 sq/ft  production facility and 2,400 sq/ft taproom with long tables and outdoor seating.

Guterson and Runion have set the goal of producing the ultimate proper pint with the environment in mind. That means cans instead of bottles.
