In what was once the fire department’s historic Engine House No. 9, E9 opened their doors as Tacoma’s first craft brewery in 1995. From then until now they’ve garnered a reputation as one of the region’s grittiest breweries, producing some of the most unique and expertly crafted beers in the Northwest.

The mark was inspired by fire engine numbers and utilitarian typography of the 1920’s (the timeframe of when the original engine house was in operation). Simple, authentic, recognizable and easily applied in any scenario.
