Ice Harbor Brewing Company is a brewery founded in Pasco, Washington in 1996 by two former workers at the Hanford Site. They entered this venture after buying the Meheen & Collins brewery.

The brewery (prior to 2024) was located in what was once a grain mill at 206 N. Benton St. in Kennewick, Washington. This building served as a brewery, and as a brewpub. The menu offered sandwiches and various fare as well as the brewery's creations. The brewpub had recently installed a beer engine, which allows the beer to be pulled from the cask, rather than pushed by carbon dioxide gas. The brewpub was believed to be the only Tri-City brewpub that used such a device.

Ice Harbor Brewing opened its second pub, which is still currently located at the Port of Kennewick's commercial building at 350 Clover Island Dr. on Clover Island in Kennewick, in late October 2007. The Marimna features much of the same brews and fare at the Railroad Avenue brewpub, but without the homebrewing inventory.

The brewery has no since moved to 10 E Bruneau in Kennewick, WA, and no longer offers homebrewing inventory.

The Beers (Current Selection)

[edit]

Ice Harbor Brewing provides a wide variety of handcrafted ales and lagers, all of which have names that reflect the local area. Beers below listed in order of common availability with specialty beers located last.[4] All descriptions pulled from Ice Harbor Brewery main website.

India Pale Ale (IPA)[5]

[edit]

STATS: OG 1.064 | ABV 6.8% | IBUs 60

Delicately balanced on the knife edge between "hops" and "HOPS!" this deep golden, medium bodied ale is sure to please you inner hophead. Lots of late addition kettle hops along with heavy dry hopping give this beer an assertive fruity flavor and aroma, and a medium malt backbone compliments the hop experience.

Hops: Millennium, Magnum, Cascade, Chinook, Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo, Galaxy

Awards

  • 2006 Silver Medal - North American Beer Awards for American-Style IPA
  • 2013 Bronze Medal - Washington Beer Awards for American-Style IPA

Columbia Kölsch[6]

[edit]

STATS: OG 1.048 | ABV 5.0% | IBUs 20

Modeled after the Kölsch beers of Germany, this smooth, soft-bodied golden ale is lightly fruity with a pleasingly dry finish. A hybrid lager/ale yeast and extended cold conditioning contributes to the overall flavor profile, and a lower alcohol content makes this a very refreshing, thirst-quenching beer.

Hops: Mt Hood, Crystal

Awards

  • 2007 Gold Medal - North American Beer Awards for German-Style Kölsch
  • 2009 Bronze Medal - North American Beer Awards for German-Style Kölsch

The Tangerine Hefeweizen[7]

Runaway Red Ale[8]

[edit]

STATS: OG 1.054 | ABV 5.5% | IBUs 27

Our Runaway Red Ale is a rich, full-bodied amber ale with a delicate fruity flavor. Its malty sweetness and ruby hue comes from a blend of crystal and Carastan malts, and is carefully balanced with Magnum, Cascade and Galaxy hops. A delicious, well-crafted ale for the real beer drinker.

Hops: Magnum, Cascade, and Galaxy

Awards

  • 2013 Bronze Medal - Washington Beer Awards for American-Style Amber Ale
  • 2018 Bronze Medal - North American Beer Awards for American-Style Amber Ale

Harvest Pale Ale[9]

[edit]

STATS: OG 1.054 | ABV 5.6% | IBUs 35

Ice Harbor Brewing salutes the Northwest Pale Ale with our Harvest Pale Ale. A medium bodied, deep golden ale with a distinctive aroma and refreshing flavor, we dry hop with Cascade and Centennial hops to produce an ale with a delightful balance of natural sweetness and assertive hop finish. An excellent choice for the discriminating palate.

Hops: Magnum, Cascade, Centennial, Citra

Awards

  • 2007 Bronze Medal - North American Beer Awards for American-Style Pale Ale

Sternwheeler Stout[10]

[edit]

STATS: OG 1.059 | ABV 5.9% | IBUs 30

This dark, almost black, beer gets its deep rich mocha taste from roasted barley, chocolate and black patent malts combined with Northwest two-row barley. If you like stouts you'll love this one. If you don't like stouts this one could change your mind!

Hops: Magnum, Cascade

Awards

  • 2009 Silver Medal - North American Beer Awards for American-Style Stout
  • 2013 Gold Medal - North American Beer Awards for Export-Style Stout

Hops: Mt. Hood

Hop Warrior[12]

[edit]

STATS: OG 1.075 | ABV 8.3% | IBUs 85

A medium bodied Imperial IPA that allows the strong hop bitterness, citrus flavors and aromas to shine. Dry hopping with Cascade, Chinook, Warrior, Summit, and Zythos gives the beer pleasant citrus flavors of orange and lemon.

Hops: Millennium, Magnum, Cascade, Chinook, Columbus, Centennial, Citra
