Issaquah Brewhouse has operated under the management of Rogue Ales for the more than 10 years. However, the brewery still continues to make its own speciality beers, such as the Bullfrog Ale. Food, such as soups, salads, American Kobe beef haute dogs, beef burgers and more, is available to complement any of the 36 beers on tap. Brewery tours happen weekdays at 2 p.m.
Harbor Greens LLC is a hidden treasure nestled next to the Forza Coffee Shop/Wine Bar on Olympic Drive. This market features a wide variety of local and fresh products.

Though this family-run winery is closed to the public, dedicated oenophiles can get on the mailing list for twice-yearly releases of its celebrated reds. (Wannabe clients can sign up on the website.) Master winemaker Bob Betz and his team produce only 3,500 cases per year, ensuring tight quality control. Alhough the scenic estate includes grapevines, all of the grapes used come from Eastern Washington.
