Our Story
The history of Thirsty Crab Brewery
Starting out by just providing exceptional craft beers to other businesses, we welcome you to experience our passion of Whidbey-crafted brews along with friends, family, and the community.
Founded in 2015
The brewery opened in 2015 by Bob and Patti Stallone, Thirsty Crab Brewery was one of the first handcrafted brewers on Whidbey Island.
Our family history
In 2018, Jeff and Erin Hanson, along with their kids Nate and Kacie, assumed ownership of Thirsty Crab Brewery so Bob and Patti could enjoy retirement life on the beautiful island. Having grown up on the south end of Whidbey Island, both Jeff and Erin wanted to stay on the island to raise their kids and be involved with the community. They feel so lucky to live and work in such a beautiful place!
