?2025 Latest?Enjoy Human People Beer Cafe! A Travel Guide to Craft Beer in Seattle

This article is published in June 2025, based on our visit experience on the opening day of June 7, 2025.

On June 7, 2025, a long-awaited new star was born in Seattle’s craft beer scene. Human People Beer Cafe, located on Roosevelt Way NE, is a notable brewery started independently by former Modern Times brewers. From the opening day, it was bustling with local beer enthusiasts, reaching full capacity by around 3 PM.

????

Speaking of Modern Times, it’s a brewery founded in San Diego in 2013, famous especially for coffee beers and hazy IPAs, hop! Their “Orderville IPA” and “Black House Coffee Stout” received high acclaim nationwide, hop!

????
????

That’s right. Human People Beer is a new project started in Seattle by brewers who have the skills and experience cultivated at Modern Times.

?????

Amazing that it’s full from the opening day, woof! Everyone must have been looking forward to it?

What’s the difference between helles and pilsner? It’s hard for beginners to understand, woof…

????
????

Good question, hop! Helles originated in Bavaria, Germany, and is a golden lager characterized by malt sweetness. On the other hand, pilsner originated in Pilsen, Czech Republic, and features the floral aroma and pleasant bitterness of Saaz hops, hop!

????
????

Simply put, helles is “gentle and easy to drink,” while pilsner is “refreshing and crisp.” Both are recommended for beginners.

?Tasting Report?Detailed Review of Beers at Human People Beer Cafe

Lovers Helles (4.5% ABV)

????
????

It was a very well-balanced helles. The malt aroma was solid with just the right amount of hop presence. I’m happy they used a proper large helles glass. You can drink it smoothly without getting tired. Very refreshing, it quenches your dry throat.

Lovers Helles is a beer that beautifully expresses the characteristics of a traditional German-style helles lager. The perfect balance between moderate malt sweetness and hops made it an ideal session beer.

Taste ElementIntensity (1-5)Characteristics
Bitterness2/5Subtle with clean finish
Sweetness3/5Gentle malt-derived sweetness
Acidity1/5Barely noticeable
Body2/5Light body, easy to drink
Aroma Intensity3/5Mild aroma of malt and floral hops

Other Vision (8.4% ABV)

????
????

The tropical fruit aroma was strong, and among them, the impression of refreshing fruity hops was particularly nice. True to Seattle style, the taste had a strong water-like impression, allowing for smooth drinking. Not too heavy, it was a Seattle-style Hazy.

????
????

This Double IPA combines hops like Eggers Nelson, Krush, and Citra, hop! The tropical fruit aroma comes from terpenes like myrcene and linalool contained in these hops, hop!

?????
?????

It’s amazing that it’s easy to drink even at 8.4%, woof! The mango-like aroma sounds delicious?

Other Vision, as a Double IPA, features an ease of drinking that doesn’t let you feel its high 8.4% alcohol content. It’s a beer that tells the story of the brewers’ high technical skills.

Producerist (7.5% ABV)

????
????

It had a comfortable balance between the San Diego-style strong malt IPA and Seattle’s characteristic slightly hazy, brilliant hops. It was very delicious.

Producerist is a West Coast IPA that wonderfully fuses both San Diego and Seattle styles, befitting former Modern Times brewers. The brilliant hop aroma from DDH (Double Dry Hopping) method was particularly characteristic.
