Fast Fashion brews Crop Top only four times a year, but Seattle Mariners fans have been known to swarm Fast Fashion’s SoDo brewery near the ballpark and crush kegs of it before ballgames. We totally get it: This German-style pilsner shone in blind tasting, beating out many others to become one of our Best 20 Beers in 2025.

Head brewer Stefano Annicchiarico describes it as a single-infusion pils “loaded with lots of low-alpha German Noble hops, fermented cold, and lagered for weeks.”
