Pacific Brewing & Malting Co. began in Tacoma in 1897. Shut down by prohibition in 1916. Reborn 2014. The brand was hugely popular along the entire West Coast.

The history of craft brewing in Tacoma goes back much further than you may think. The Pacific Brewing and Malting Company, formed in Downtown Tacoma in 1897, grew to be one of the largest breweries in the Northwest. Success was cut short by state-wide Prohibition in 1916 and the brewery closed its doors shortly thereafter. Now, over 100 years later, Pacific Brewing & Malting Co. is back. Reformed

Hello World! While PB&M isn’t coming back anytime soon, we’re excited to share that our award-winning brewer, Bethany, and her husband, Greer, have opened up their own brewery and taproom in our former Downtown Tacoma space. They’ve done a killer job updating the taproom and creating a *gourmet mac n cheese* menu. Oh yeah...and the beer is freaking fantastic. Check out Mother Fern Brewing soon! 🍻
