In 2018, art took Stillwater Artisanal Ales founder Brian Strumke to Seattle, where he met Matt Storm, owner of The Masonry, the man known for his intensely curated beer list and wood-fired pizza. In 2020, the pandemic paused Strumke’s nomadic lifestyle and, allowing him to dive into Storm’s concept for a new brewery, Fast Fashion. The duo began brewing a series of small batch beers paired with a smart, fashionable Instagram account. Fast Fashion became its own fashion tribe of line-out-the-door beer culture. In the beginning, Fast Fashion operated as a contract brewery, but it now has Head Brewer Stefano Annicchiarico and two storefronts — a brewery and taproom in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood on First Avenue just a couple blocks south of T-Mobile Park and a taproom on Roy Street next to his Masonry Pizza in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood. The Grit & Grain Podcast will host Fast Fashion Brewing co-owner and The Masonry founder Matt Storm and his team — his Masonry business partner, Sam Morin, and Fast Fashion Sales Executive Sarah Moorman — for a double episode in the Peaks & Pints Events Room from 3:30-5:30 p.m. today. In celebration, Peaks & Pints presents an in-house flight of Fast Fashion beer — a flight we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Fast Fashion.
