Our Story

Brewing in the
Tri-Cities Since 1997

Built by locals, rooted in community, and still pouring great beer today

Humble Beginnings

From Grain Mill to Gathering Place

For years, Ice Harbor operated out of a historic grain mill in downtown Kennewick—serving as both a working brewery and a welcoming brewpub.

Along the way, the team continued to evolve—refining their craft, expanding their offerings, and creating a space where people could gather over good food and great beer.

Today, the brewery lives under the Kennewick Public Market sign, continuing that same tradition in a new space.

Our Origin Story

Where It All Started

Ice Harbor Brewing Company was founded in 1997 by two former Hanford Site workers who saw an opportunity to bring something new to the Tri-Cities.

What started as a small operation quickly became a local staple—built on hard work, curiosity, and a passion for great beer.
