Cowiche Creek Brewing


About us.

We are Derrick and Maria Nordberg.

We Love hoppy beer. And we love amazing food. We built this brewery so we could share a few things with you: our passion for great beer made from our Valley's hops, the incredible views of the Cowiche area from our Home 40 and high-quality menu items that we get to serve to you.

Growing up as third generation farmers from small towns in Central Washington we are no strangers to hard work. We built this whole place with our own four hands. From the building itself to the brewhouse to gardens overflowing with produce, it’s been a labor of love in the best way possible.

History.

What started as a little homebrewing endeavor quickly took over our home and we realized we needed a bigger building for all our projects. Might as well start a craft brewery, right?

Out came the spreadsheets. Forecasting, the business plan, the marketing plan, COGS, and COGM estimates were built. Budgets, building material quotes, loans, permits, and insurance followed. September 13, 2015 we started construction. Our budget was tight and we knew we had to do as much of the work ourselves to make it happen. From Excavation to ADA grab bars, we did it all. The Farmer Way, of course.

Fast forward ten years and we now have a full-service restaurant in our brewery, an expansive greenhouse and gardens that grow produce for our kitchen, and a whole entire team of individuals to help us keep the dream alive. We are proud to call the people listed below as our team members.
