Palouse Falls Brewing Company

Best beer in the area with the friendliest service. My favorite is the Stout!

Most importantly, PFB brews really good beer. Like others on here, I’m an IPA fan, but the other offerings are equally as well made. The best thing about the beer is the freshness. Nothing like really fresh, well made brew. Additionally, the owners have made this place a home base for a running team, fundraisers for cancer treatments for regulars and a great place to hang out. It is not fancy and you won’t find any food offerings (except what you bring), but if good beer is your goal, this is by far the best brewery in the area.

Visited Palouse Falls Brewing last night with my wife while my son is visiting WSU. The IPA is top notch with great smell and great taste. We met the owner and he told us the history of the brewery and shared some details of the brewing process and the brewing industry in general. He even lent me a growler because we are only here for a few nights. I would recommend the 6 glass sampler, but you will end up with a pint of the IPA. They even sell running shirts. I wish all tasting rooms were this great.

Such nice people and good beer too. So glad we stumbled upon this great find when we first arrived in town. Highly recommend a visit.

Was in Pullman last month with my sister and mom dropping off my nephew at WSU and we happened upon this place as it was across the street from the hotel. It was great! They sell growlers, growler carriers, they have beer tastings, endless pretzel snack bowls. All good things. I filled up my growler a couple of times. The staff/​owner folks are super nice. It was a wonderful experience. They even have a running club that meets there every week (I told my nephew about it since he likes to run) which is pretty f’n neat! And the Idaho Gold is a super sessionable beer!

Love the Steptoe Stout! Such nice folks here. We have stopped up twice & it will not be our last. Next time I am taking a Growler of Stepyoe Stout home with me, yummy!

Great family business with tours available and wonderful owners. I am not usually a Stout fan but their’s is ultra smooth. Nice pit stop anytime.

Stopped in after the Lentil Festival parade with several others and we each had the sampler of five brews. All tasty in my book and with pretzels as the only food item and a large flat panel to watch the game, there is nothing to distract you from your hops consumption!
Cheers!

Palouse Falls Brewing Company is a new start-​up in Pullman, Washington, land of plenty of beer-​loving college kids and zero microbreweries. It was about time.
Though they do not serve food outside of a bowl of pretzels, the place does have a pretty nice tap room. It is located in an old brick warehouse complete with giant garage doors for easy access to the brewing facility. They’ve made a front room by putting up some dry-​wall to section off about a quarter of the building. Two bathrooms take up some of that space, as does a small alcove with a desk in front of it for the office operations. The rest belongs to an L-​shaped bar with a refrigerator behind it, four tables for four and one larger six-​person table. The floor has been nicely redone. A giant banner hangs in front of the garage door and inexplicably features a logo that is not that of Palouse Falls Brewing.
Anyways, most of the beer is pretty good, and one is even great.
The Vandal Gold is light bodied, nearly transparent, with foam clinging to the side of the glass, but with a taste that is not unlike water. There is little to no hop aroma or flavor. The only difference from water is a subtle sweetness. I’m not even sure non-​beer drinkers could stomach this.
The Crimson Pride is a pleasant surprise after the tasteless Gold. It tastes of a single malty, copper tone with a few different hop notes nudging their way in. It isn’t bad, and definitely a step in the right direction.
The Winter Seasonal is smooth yet hoppy with subtle notes of spice and perhaps molasses, though I can’t tell for sure. The spices are so low I can’t really tell what is in there, but it is a very decent beer.
The Steptoe Stout has a good body and mouthfeel with great upfront taste that quickly slides away before barely hanging on to the palette for a minute. It is a good balance of sweet, dry and chocolate. I’d rate it between average and solid.
Finally, the IPA is wonderful. At 6.5 percent alcohol, there is plenty of hops to balance the malty goodness. And it isn’t just bitterness. It is the full flavor profile of a continuously hopped brew that leaves one craving more.
Overall, the new brewery has a good start. With one outstanding beer and a couple of good starts, I’d say they have a pretty bright future.

Palouse Falls Brewing has come on strong as Eastern Washington’s première microbrewery, easily surpassing the bar set by Couer D’Alene Brewing. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, making the tasting room a great place to hang out. Palouse Falls has a strong core set of four beers. If Pullman Polar Porter is any indication, their seasonal beers will be equally tasty.
