According to a recent permit filing, Slightly Furry will soon open its new location at 851 Rainier Ave South, previously home to Sovereign Brewing.
A representative of Slightly Furry was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
According to a recent Instagram post from Slightly Furry, “We are thrilled to announce that we will be taking over the Sovereign Brewing space in Seattle next month! We’ll be announcing some very important dates soon. Thanks again to everyone who has supported us as we hit 1 year of selling our ciders in the market.”
Slightly Furry’s company website adds more information stating, “At Slightly Furry we love our puns and bold flavors. We see the world through a different lens and invite you to join us through our products and events. It’s a world where we support and lift the furry, queer, and underrepresented communities that need a louder voice. All of us at Slightly Furry warmly welcome you into our community and ask that you remember to be respectful and keep an open mind.”
The two founders listed on Slightly Furry’s website are Aaron Kalin and Ray Araldi. Aaron’s about me section states, “My real name is Aaron though most call me Martini like the drink. I’m an accomplished software engineer with a family history in the bar and restaurant industry.”
“You’ll usually find me relaxing at the bar enjoying a cocktail with friends or cooking in the kitchen when I am not in front of a computer screen. My interest in home brewing goes back to 2012 when I got my first home brewing starter kit. Through a lot of usually delicious trial and error, I perfected many of the recipes we use today at Slightly Furry.”
For Ray, it states, “I’m a loud-mouthed & brash rabbit, chased down this rabbit hole by a soft-spoken yet dedicated & stubborn fox. I’m that guy who says he’s just along for the ride but 10 minutes in, I’ve researched 3 different routes to our destination that are not only faster but have stops along the way to some hidden food & beverage gems.”
“Before Slightly Furry, I’ve been working in multimedia production for over 10 years, mostly in voice-over direction/editing/engineering in sound-proof closets & dark basements. Before that, I was building network maps and tinkering with fiber optic & ethernet cables in a loud, fan-filled closet in some basement.”
