America’s first tribal owned distillery and brewery, built on Chehalis tribal land, Talking Cedar reflects the identity of the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation. Known as the “People of the Sands,” the Chehalis people have deep roots in Southwest Washington. Talking Cedar was created to build economic opportunity, strengthen tribal sovereignty, and invest in future generations. The facility crafts award-winning beer and spirits using water from an aquifer beneath tribal land. It blends modern technique with local sourcing and Pacific Northwest botanicals.

The menu brings together heritage and everyday favorites. Offerings include house-filleted Chinook salmon, a traditional staple for the Chehalis Tribe, along with burgers and fries. The space is easy, welcoming, and family friendly, with a large patio, dining room, and two bars. Events can be hosted in the Coho and Blueback rooms, which are named after local salmon runs and can each accommodate up to 60 guests. The seasonal menu is built around local, in-season ingredients.

With a 60BBL brewhouse, Talking Cedar can produce nearly 1,860 gallons of beer in a single batch. It also offers premium contract brewing services. Available at retailers, restaurants, and bars across the Pacific Northwest, Talking Cedar spirits are easier to find than ever. From Kayak Gin to handcrafted amaro and aperitivo, every spirit is created with purpose. The business holds a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it.

Talking Cedar combines its tribal heritage with craft brewing to serve Centralia and the surrounding area.
