This BYOF is a great area for those wanting to explore Mt. Rainier. The exterior of the brewery is just the same as the interior. I have never seen such great wooden architecture before in my life. There are enough seats to host large events as well as many games and books to enjoy. What's great about this place is that they have non-alcoholic beer as well as a variety of craft brewery. The bartender, Jason, was very helpful in deciding which beer to try. If you get a chance to come here, I highly recommend ordering: -Self Care "Scherler Easiest Lager" (N/A): very light, hoppy, tastes like a normal IPA, but without the buzz. It is a bit watered down in opinion, but I don't mind it. -Hourglass IIPA (8.5%): An Imperial IPA with strong pine and orange flavors, a little bitter, crisp, and fresh. Better than your typical lager. -Huckleberry Cider (6.4%): sweet, and beautiful color, a great choice for cider lovers. -"Virgin" Bloody Mary: your typical Mary, but without the booze, and a splash of Yucatán Habanero hot sauce. You can heat it up as much as you want with their variety of sauces. Packwood Brewery is a must try for any hikers or vacationers. Grab a pint, sit back, and relax after a very tiring adventure! read more

Right off the bat when you walk in theres a breeze flowing through the place and it feels alive. Plenty of natural light through the windows. You stand in line and order upon entry, and you pick up the food yourself with a buzzer, so there's no service to mention. I ordered the steak quesadillas. Took 35 minutes to get my food, but it tasted excellent and wasn't too heavy on my stomach. read more

The location and decor of this place is great. It definitely takes inspiration from the very mountain community it's a part of. The people working here are very nice and our food came out in a decent amount of time. My only complaint was the food itself. Maybe just come here for the beer/cider. We all found that our food lacked flavor and was very bland. I ordered the veggie rice bowl and it was mostly plain white rice. Not many veggies or chickpeas. Not many options on the menu overall if you can't eat dairy or are vegan. read more

Came here for good beer and live music and got both! The atmosphere here is super cool, family friendly, and definitely captures that small town vibe. My friends and I got a few rice bowls, tacos, cheesy pretzel and of course a few beers and ciders. read more

Local establishment that reflects the small town vibe of Packwood. Staff are friendly and the Glacier Melt beer is great. Food is good and meets the expectations of the location. Outdoor seating is a perfect for summer nights. And the corn hole and ice cream trailer are added bonuses to perfect the evening. Will be back next time in the area! read more

This place has the vibe and location down pat, so there's not much to discuss.. But I will. Because the tacos were embarrassing. $6 a toco.. Two 4" tortillas each. Maybe 1 oz of meat each, pickled onion, (ooh, fancy! ) and a drizzle of sour cream (see pic). At this rate, I'll need 6 tacos and $36 to feel satiated. read more

Place was busy and they were pumping out orders fast. Food came quick and tasted pretty good. Nothing crazy, but decent beer and decent food. A bit pricey for what it is. read more

Nice old rustic vibe on the inside and a cute patio area on the outside. Food was pretty good, they have a couple vegetarian options which I appreciated. The cheese quesadilla was very cheesy, the pretzel was average. Drinks were served immediately and food took about 10-20 minutes or so which was great. read more

Prickly pear cider was really good. Food was ok, tacos were pretty small and not much flavor to them for the price. Ambiance is good though, they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I had a great time staying here in Packwood. I didn't know anything about this place before coming here. So my way of getting to know a new town is to find the local brewery. Packwood Brewing not only makes a great beer, they have good food, live music and a nice outdoor patio area. I was staying at a hotel within walking distance and came over here to grab a bite one evening. The crowd outside was chill and there was a live band playing some music. I ordered a Mountain Goat Coffee Porter and some food while listening to some tunes. Packwood Brewing Co. has some great options on their food menu. The tacos sounded really good, so I ordered some. I ended up ordering different protein choices for each of my tacos. Most of the food here is rice bowls and Mexican food. Packwood Brewing has both an indoor and outdoor bar for ordering beers. There are a number of picnic tables outside to sit on which brings a community feel to this place. If you like ice cream, Packwood Brewing has an Airstream that sells ice cream in the beer garden. I ordered a Salted Caramel Swirl to cap off my night here. read more

Great stop is you're exploring the Rainier area. I just don't know why they aren't open for lunch more days than weekends! The inside is really cool, service is quick and food is excellent. There is also an ice cream trailer on the patio that was a good ending to an excellent lunch. read more

After a hike in Mount Rainier, Packwood Brewing Co. was exactly what we needed. My husband and I grabbed a table on the patio, ordered a couple of beers, and immediately felt like we'd made the right call. I can't remember which beers we picked, but we both really liked them, which feels like the best kind of endorsement. The outdoor space is great. Chill, peaceful, and the kind of spot where time slows down just enough to make you forget how tired your legs are. We ordered food from the kitchen, and it was fine. Nothing bad, just not as memorable as the beer or the setting. Overall, it's a perfect place to unwind after a hike, sip something local, and take in the small-town vibe. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

The place is cool and beer was cold. Wasn't expecting Mexican style food at a brewery in the middle of the PNW. Food choice wasn't my cup of tea but my family liked all the food they got. They ran out of rice so 1/3 of the menu was off limits. Kinda made options dry up fast. Pretty sure rice isn't too hard to prep. Vibes were rockin, outside area was too cool, and there's an ice cream shop airstream in the parking lot. read more

I ordered a steak bowl. Food was decent but seems a little overpriced for the portions I received. Small bowl and not very much steak. I also had to order my food at bar. Pick up my food when it was ready. And throw my bowl away and put glass in a tub. Not sure what I tipped for. The atmosphere was nice. Cute rustic building. There was a woman playing a guitar and singing. Place was busy seemed clean. read more

All things considered...pretty good place for simple fare and good beer. It is expensive for what you get, but it's one of only a few places in town. We stopped here for a bite while on our way out to camp. Had nachos and a few pints, nice outside area where pups are welcome. I'll be back for sure! read more

An absolute gem in downtown Packwood! I love the atmosphere, beer, and food. The views of Mt. Rainier from the beer garden are great. The beer garden has a fire pit and ice cream trailer.

Love this place! Have been here a handful of times now. The place is really nice inside, plus the patio when it's nice out! With a bar outside too I have seen open in the summer times. Food was great both times I've ate there. This last time we got tacos and quesadilla which were great portions. Service was great, asking questions about what beer to choose they were very helpful. read more

Overall very cute place. I love all the furniture and how it is set up. Very spacious and spread out. We opted for the back corner section since we had a baby and my little brother. We ordered 2 steak tacos, chorizo nachos, a pint of beer, a flight, apple juice and a quesadilla, overall $66 + tip. You have to order yourself however and pick up your food and bust your own table afterwards. I don't know if it was because I was starving, but I felt like the tacos were pretty basic, it was only meat, some crema sauce and red onions..., I was hoping for a little more than that. The nachos however, are very much worth the money in my opinion. Big portions for the nachos! Overall probably one of the better spots to eat in this cute little town, especially with kids. read more

Driving through the mountain pass. Could have easily passed through the main strip which is maybe a quarter mile at best. Packwood Brewery sign caught my eye. Rustic cabin so fitting for this area. Spacious interior with a great mix of seating. Bartender very welcoming & friendly smile, introduced himself and shared a quick rundown of their taps. Butter Peak Porter was a smooth start on this cold day, slightly smokey with a nice bite. Sociable locals struck up a conversation and soon needed the Hammerhead Hefe, crispy & lite. Everybody chatting, lively gathering. The chili was a tasty match with the beer. Loved this unexpected beer break! read more

Very disappointed. Good beer. Bad food. We expected a burgers & pulled pork lunch menu with this environment. Their white person's attempt at the unexpected Mexican food menu was a bland miserable failure especially when you realize there's actually a real Mexican restaurant a few doors down. read more

This place is crazy popular even at off times. Parking is around on the dirt near the highway (not hard). Cute wooden porch and nice ambience inside as well. The kitchen seems to be a small corner ran by a very efficient bada$$. You order at the bar, which is more of the focal point, and then pick up your food on the high counter around the kitchen. Only drawback to this spot is the ratio of bathrooms (2) to customers (many) so expect a wait there. Food was delicious, Latinx inspired, and a welcome delight after a long drive on the highway from Seattle. Highly recommend this crossroads brewery. read more

When we stayed in Packwood for a few days to go hiking at Mt Rainier we found ourselves here pretty much every day! It has both indoor and outdoor seating so great for any type of weather. Most days we were there, there was live music which was great! There was a good selection of beers including some rotating options and rotating ciders, and wines too! There wasn't tons of variety with the food but everything I got was decent and prepared pretty quickly. I liked the pretzel with the cheese. A few days they had some additional options with a pop up hot dog station. The servers were nice but sometimes there was quite a long line. They had a nice selection of merch! read more

Scenic. Unrefined. Earthy, After hiking in Mt Rainier National Park, a beer was overdue. Came here before we went to our campsite and enjoyed the beer. Their selection isn't that large, those who like the more rich and bitter beers - this spot caters to your palette. I'm a sour gal and there wasn't many options besides the ciders which weren't anything to rave about. We got the coffee porter and that was enjoyable. Plenty of seating inside and a cute little backyard patio. Ice cream and food are available too. Good spot for a group! read more

Food was pretty mid. My wife and I ordered Steak Rice Bowls which did not come nearly enough with enough steak. Beer selection was great! Atmosphere was amazing especially outside with the live music. Feels like the whole town of Packwood was there, which was cool. Also, I love the partnership you've made with the ice cream truck to serve there because that's a nice touch and really good ice cream. read more

Great place to stop. Beer was great. Food was also very good. We were camping there that night on a motorcycle trip. It was very hot and we hung out most of the afternoon at the Brewery. Best place in Packwood to hang out with your friends. Folks working there were very nice even with a very steady amount of customers. If it is not as hot, there is an awesome outdoor sitting area with an Ice Cream stand. read more

At the time of our visit, they didn't have there own IPA.. WOW!! They did have a couple of Bale Breaker to fill the gap tho. That is OK, they had a selection of German styles, which is perfect for the summer!! They have great outdoor seating with shade. It was perfect!! read more

Location was good as it was pretty much the only decent thing in town. Beers were pretty good. Nothing to write home about but decent. Chorizo Nachos were great and the star of the meal. Tacos were subpar and lacked flavor. We got the steak, chicken, and carnitas tacos. All were very boring and tasted like reheated meat with little additions. Chicken quesadilla was edible. Much better than the tacos. Moral is, come here for beer and ice cream. Get dinner elsewhere. read more
