Sichuan restaurant Plenty of Clouds has signed on to provide food, whenever the garden is ready to roll, and founder Steve Luke tells Eater Seattle that he’ll keep things reservation-only to start in order to avoid long lines and crowds.Ĭloudburst was founded in 2015 by Luke, formerly the experimental brewer for Elysian Brewing, and the brewery is known for a wide selection of bright, seasonal IPAs. ![]() The brewery will keep its production facility and original taproom in Belltown, but a new beer garden with pop-up tents will open at the new Ballard outpost, perhaps as soon as next week.
