Arrowhead Brewery began in 2011 with a dream of bringing a passion for craft beer into the Columbia Valley. They offer six permanent beers and three to five seasonal choices. The 1950s style taproom is fully stocked with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, kids are welcome as long as they are closely attended by an adult. The taproom even features some options for snacking.
