Here’s more from the press release…

With twenty years of brewing beers in its repertoire, Harmon Brewing has remained dedicated to its roots, all starting with the first batch of Harmon’s famous Pt. Defiance IPA. Although recipes have changed and evolved, its flagship beers have remained true to the art of small batch, craft brewing while sourcing local ingredients of malted barley and hops. Each Harmon beer are named after local history and landmarks which is tied to the restaurant’s theme covered in outdoor, mountaineering décor. Mt Takhoma Blonde (the native name for Mt. Rainier), Pinnacle Peak Pale Ale, Puget Sound Porter and Browns Pt. ESB are a few of Harmon flagship beers. Harmon beer is award-winning on the local and national scale including its many rotating seasonal brews.

Harmon Brewing Co. was the first to open a microbrewery/restaurant in Tacoma’s Downtown in September of 1997. The brewery is steeped in local history, with its 8000 square foot restaurant and 15-barrel brewery located on the retail level of the Historic Harmon Mfg. Building – once the home of the largest furniture manufacturing company this side of the Mississippi. Fred Roberson, the owner and developer of the Harmon Building was the driving force behind saving and rehabbing these historic buildings – the Harmon was his first of many in downtown Tacoma.

Founding partner, Pat Nagle remembers those early days vividly: “It was exciting – and even frightening at times – to be in the midst of Tacoma’s downtown revitalization. We are proud to be a part of creating a downtown that today has grown into a beautiful community, rich in history. To think we were one of the first bar/restaurants with no smoking; or one of the first restaurants on Pacific Ave. after Bimbos was closed down; years before Lite Rail paved its way through the middle of the street, or when we paralleled parked on Pacific, is truly incredible.”

Come celebrate the history of the Harmon Brewery at its annual Oktoberfest festival.
