I personally take trips from Spanaway to Centralia to visit Dick's Brewing Co. to get a couple of seasonal and popular beers on tap in a growler. You can either bring your own growler or purchase one on-site. They also have glasses or mugs available for purchase. The brewery is located right off the side of the service road and appears to be in a warehouse-like configuration. There's a food truck on the front that I've heard has some amazing food, although I haven't tried it yet. They do have vegetarian options, so I'll check that out later. The bar dining area is spacious and welcoming for all customers. The bar top has a couple of televisions where you can watch sports if that's your thing. Before you order a beer, I recommend trying a couple of samples, which is what I usually do. The growler I used was about $12-$15, which is a great deal considering that a beer on tap costs about eight dollars for 20 ounces. You can get five of those for the price of $15, so it's a very affordable option. Overall, I really enjoy this place and make it a point to go down there every other month because it's one of my favorite breweries. read more

Nice brewery with ample seating for customers, friendly staff, and a sizable selection of tasty brews. A good break off the freeway between Seattle and Portland, but be aware that the WiFi is awful and this is a dead zone for T-Mobile so consider forgoing social media for actual conversation. read more

Holy sandwich stack! It's a small cozy spot packed with treats, goodies and merch(cute sweatshirts), very busy place, waitress was running to help everyone so be patient, it's well worth it. Grapefruit IPA was good. read more

Visited Dick's Brewing and decided to share the Snack Tray. For $14.99, little pricy for a snack but it's a solid choice, featuring summer sausage, BBQ pork, Swiss and cheddar cheese, pepperoni, crackers, and sweet hot mustard. Everything was tasty, and it was perfect for snacking while enjoying a couple of beers. As someone who doesn't usually drink beer, I was pleasantly surprised by Dick's Cream Stout. It's a rich, dark brew that's creamy, with strong notes of coffee and dark chocolate. The flavor is deep and smooth, and while a little bitterness, it's more of a coffee bitterness. Even if you're not a beer enthusiast, this one is definitely worth a try. My partner ordered a pale beer, though I honestly don't remember which one--it was overshadowed by an obnoxious customer nearby who fancied himself a comedian. Thankfully, the young waitress handled the situation with grace and professionalism, so props to her for keeping things cool. Despite the distraction, I'm eager to return, especially to try the sandwiches--those being served around us looked amazing. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

We have visited Dick's on a few occasions having been there for lunch and dinner. Dinner, specifically the prime rib is excellent as are their sandwiches (especially if you're a carnivore!!!). Their selection of beers and IPA's round out their offerings as does their meat and cheese counterparts! Dick's is a pretty casual place offering an outdoor patio for those with pups! Overall, we recommend Dick's to anyone seeking good food and friendly service! read more

I'm just going to start with an honest statement. I don't drink alcohol. This is my first time at a brewery. (I've not even been to a REAL bar before.) While this review isn't negative because of it being a brewery, it may upset you to read a review of a brewery from a "non-alcoholic." My friend does drink. He said the beer was pretty good, and a good price. But that's about all the positive things either of us can say. From the get go, we had a hard time finding the entrance. They were also packed despite covid. Now, while I felt the social distancing between tables was fine, I just didn't feel like the vibe in general was "let's try to be covid safe." But it also wasn't "let's not be covid safe." So that's good. Inside, it's very basic. But it works. Music playing, people drinking and hanging out, and all the while you're in a place that makes beer right there. I don't like to drink or go to bars, but this brewery's vibe was very chill. Not much to look at, but that's not necessarily the point. Also, their website stated two things my friend and I were interested in: you can bring in your own food to eat, which we did, and that they give tours every Friday at 5:30, which they didn't. Overall, it's a decent hang if you're alright being surrounded by older people than us, we're in our mid-20's. My friend liked the beer and the price of it, I felt like it was a chill atmosphere, and they get bonus points from me because RIGHT when we walked in they were playing a song I know and love and even have in my main Spotify playlist! (Same applies for the following two songs that they played. If it was a radio station, I need to know lol!) I feel like a 6/10 is valid (despite me thinking MAYBE a 7/10) because the overall rating is an 8/10, and I don't drink. So I think it's fair, and so does my friend. (Also, it's called Dick's. If you can buy something from them like a cup or clothing, I'd probably say you should.) read more

Looking for a good sandwich we located this place after Shopping at the outlets. Ordered the sampler of beers and OMG liked them all..

I really like this place just a little south of Great Wolf. There are two items I always order each visit, either one or the other...the cheeseburger and their Cuban sandwich. Both are belly-bustin-big with lots of flavor. And to wash it all down there's the Alzacca Hazy IPA or Grapefruit IPA, both excellent brews. Finally, the bill won't require you to mortgage the house either. Excellent food, excellent brew all at a reasonable price, what's not to like? ..Oh..the servers are friendly and the atmosphere is great too! I almost never give 5 stars but this place deserves them. read more

Took our Asian guests here they loved it! Great beer. Fun place to take guests and just hang out.

What a great mix of beers! The Creme stout is definitely my favorite but I was pleasantly surprised by the great taste in their Raspberry Triple, which I rarely try. The grapefruit IPA will make you pucker up and smile with delight :) I will say, they could upgrade the seating and food choices because they are a bit blah. But we came for beer and loved them all! The sampler is your best bet because you will be surprised by things you'd never order. read more

What? I can't believe I haven't already written a review for Dicks! I have been here twice now and I am surprised that a review was not written the first time around. Oh, well. It will be done now! I have slowly gotten to like Dick's more and more. Probably their most popular beer, Dick's Danger Ale can be found all over the state. I have had it a couple of times at places that had it as a guest tap and it was ok. At the time I liked other beers more so I moved on. On my first visit to the taproom here I got their Lava Rock. It was a while ago but I remember that particular beer pretty well. It was a dark, smooth beer and I liked it better than the Danger Ale. Just recently I went back to Dick's when I was hitting other breweries around Kelso and working back up to Centralia and figured to do an even more encompassing review for Dick's that I would stop by their taproom a second time as a refresher and to see what beer they had to offer. There were two beers that I liked even more than the Danger Ale or the Lava Rock this time! They had a great Chocolate Cherry Stout which was perfect! I also had a sample of a Grapefruit IPA which was so very refreshing! That IPA was probably my favorite thus far out of the four beers that I have had from this brewery. Not putting down that Stout at all but the flavor of that IPA was outstanding! read more

Service was great sampled some brews and bought jalapeños summer sausage I picked up my hat I won on Facebook and bought a growler of ale.

If you are looking for a dark cozy Pub with Dinner - sorry but - Dicks is not it. Photos I uploaded are of an Oct 2008 Brewery Tour Dick provided for Oregon Brew Crew Members. He's justifiably proud of his shiny new production facility, developed in cooperation with the Port of Centralia. It's a pristine, well lit working Brewery with a modest Bottling operation, with space for expansion. Maybe the concrete floor, super high ceiling - and space outside could be modified a bit in the future to welcome Guests. I also want to see Solar Investment here for Water and Power. RA Solar in Portland has don superb Solar Water Heating systems for 2 of the Lubcky Lab Breweries - these could be a model...and i could work with the WA legislature to amend policy to enable this lind of project - the Port could simply do it, in Dick's case, and for other Biz in their District ) DO Buy: bottles of Dicks Dark Cuder, and Dicks Dangerous Ale at a Bottle Shop, The full line-up of Brews, including Stout and Holiday Ales are also be worth tasting...and might suit your Palette for a Buy. Or look for chances to enjoy some of his Brews, as I bet they'll increasingly appear on Tap at many NW venues. The restroom, adjacent to the company office, was civilized, appears to be accessible, and was squeaky clean as the Brewery - which is a nice thing. Side note on area Brewery Pubs... (Other breweries and Ales nearby were - Um, not so clean. The Engine 9 Firehouse in Tacoma has a wonderful, cozy artful setting and beautiful old bar, - but served us - motly Brewers and Beer JUDGES - entire pitchers - of - an entire line-up of - Ales with off-odors and warped flavors. If you can beleive it, after first sips, our group of 40 left beer standing in the sample pitchers we'd pre-purchased. My suggestion: Stick to the Firehouse's Guest taps...or perhaps just try their Barleywine for a few months at least - I thought it clean - & good for it's Style, and seemed fine. Other judges were queasy by then and couldn't give any a fair review. It's the only place all day where we skipped the Brewery tour (didn't want these ambient yeasts on our clothes!), and no one ordered a Pint to follow tastes. We just got out as soon as we could. This Brewer and Brewhouse above was NOT Dick's and not the Olympian or Fish Tale Brewing. Go there, or the one with great food dowmtown oly. Their Ales, Ciders, Porters and Stouts are Clean and worthy.) I hope the Firehouse works the bugs out of their Brew. They do have a large tap list, and full bar, so just avoi dtheir house Ales for awhile, if you care. Many newer breweries have hard time at first, then learn how to get it right. I'll delete this note when I hear from an experienced beer Judge that the Firehouse has worked out. the off flavors in their brews. i truly hope they do - cuz I LIKE the place.) read more

Purchased a groupon for a beer tour, samples, snacks and two beer mugs. It was such a great price for what we ended up getting. The tour was cool to see how they made their beer and also getting to try all the different types of beer. The snacks were assorted meats and cheese with crackers. Staff was great and friendly.

We came here hoping to find the Dick's Brewery tour, but this is actually a sausage deli and restaurant that serves all of DIck's Beer. When you walk in, the entry is a deli that carries seasoned steaks, meats, sausages, cheese, and of course Dick's beer. The restaurant is adjacent, its a small, casual space. The server was very friendly. They didn't have a kids menu, but we ordered hot dogs on a stick for the kids. I had the Reuben sandwich and my husband had the tri tip special. The meats are amazing. The kids hot dog, it was a little weird for them, I'm not sure what it was, but it tasted like a pastrami hot dog. Very tasty (a little hard to get the kids to try something different at first, but they liked it). Everything else was really tasty. The clientele - I was expecting a more young vibe, but when we walked in there, everyone sitting down at tables was over 65, at least. But it is a very clean restaurant with great service and reasonable prices. I would definitely come back here again, and we're hoping to do the Brewery tour one of these days. read more

Eh, I just wasn't impressed by my recent experience visiting Dick's Brewery. The business lacks any real parking lot so we joined most of the other cars in parking on the street. We also had trouble locating a front door, which was essentially just a side door without a sign even on it. The inside of the building was equally confusing. Just a big warehouse-like facility without much rhyme or reason to its flow or it being a 'tasting room'. It was packed too. Unfortunately this meant long lines and no seating, so it was quite difficult to hang out with friends to enjoy a 12-beer sampler and apps. The brewery also didn't stick with the "on-the-hour" Friday tours that were indicated on their website, so we never got a chance to take a tour. We really enjoyed sampling the different brews here, some of which were quite good, but my preference would be to do so in a real bar with actual seating and more prompt service. read more

Beer + country music on the radio + sunshine, what more could you ask for? I really liked this brewery. I had the golden and a beer called the fair beer.

If I happened to be in the area again, I would stop by here. read more

Such a fun Brewery! I went with a large group of friends and we tried every beer on the menu. I cannot say that I disliked ANY of them, they were all delicious. The service was great and the employees that I saw working here seemed to be having a genuinely good time with the customers. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

All beers are 4$.... Any of them, all the time. Some cool board games, cards, Jenga.... Stuff like that are available and makes it even more enjoyable. My BIGGEST and only complaint... I wish they were open longer, and I wish they were open more days. read more

This place removes their bad reviews. Just an FYI. I had a pretty bad experience in February and low and behold, my negative review is no where to be found, sad....... read more

The Prime Rib here for dinner is a real treat.. but even better is Dick's Cream Stout. Probably one of the best beers ever! OH! and it's great in Chocolate cake. The local paper used it in a chocolate cake recipe, can I say WOW! Now I'm officially hooked. Dick's Beer fan! I like to buy the variety pack, just to make sure I'm not missing some new wonderful concoction. read more

Dicks pretty much makes the best beer in all of Washington State as far as I'm concerned. This should replace the state emblem of George Washington...it should just be a bottle of Dick's Danger Ale. The Dick's Danger ale is the conundrum of all beers, it is a dark beer with a light body. Judge not on looks, but on taste and you will see it exceeds all your expectations. The double diamond seasonal winter ale has a heavy body and is really satisfying if you want a thick brew to accompany your miserable rain soaked winter. The lava rock porter is one of the best porters I've had MADE BY ANYONE. Medium body with a long lingering finish with a good ABV % too. Definitely my favorite of the pack. Dicks pale ale is okay too. The brown ale is pretty good too. The Silk lady is interesting but I'd choose one of their others over this one. About the only one I can say anything bad about is the cream stout. Ughnnn, not a fan. And for the price, why not get an Irish or English stout instead? A king among the very crowded field of northwest microbreweries. read more

Really fun place! Visited with a friend about a month ago to use a deal purchased through Groupon I believe. This location was a little tough to find... it is the location where the beer is brewed, not the store that also sells various meats. Lots of parking, which was for the most part full when we visited on a late afternoon weekend. The building is a large open space with a bar (several beers on tap), tables and chairs, and a stage. The brewery set up is in the same space, and for me, adds to the coolness of it all. You can get growlers here as well at a pretty reasonable price, which my friend ended up doing. On our visit, there was live music and a good number of people present. The deal included a free tour, tasting tray, and 2 glasses. All the employees and even the other patrons here are super friendly. Tour was interesting but not a reason for me to go there specifically. Tasting tray was HUGE. My friend and I ended up giving ours to some folks at our table so that we would be able to make the trip home sober. Favorites were the Golden Ale and the Silk Lady. Glasses were a nice souvenir and of good quality. I could have hung out here all day, but we had other places to be so our visit was only about an hour or so. Definitely visit this spot if you're in the area. read more

I've been going to Dicks every once in a while for the past year. It's a decent local brewery with a variety of beers for every individual and/or occasion. If I could, I'd give this place 3 1/2 stars. It's better than okay but I'm not quite a fan either. Their beer prices are fantastic for pints... although I think some of their six-packs may be a tad high!! They often have a great Groupon deal available where you can sample 12 of their beers, try one of their appetizer plates with meats and cheeses, and tour their brewery for one low price. The beers themselves, though, are pretty average for the most part. I really like the Silk Lady... it's definitely my favorite beer here. I wish they had it on tap more often! Their Tripel is alright, although it wouldn't stand up next to some of my favorites (La Trappe, Westmalle Trappist). A lot of people like the Danger... myself, not so much. I'm not a huge stout fan; however their cream stout is pretty good. The Hef is nice and refreshing... the blonde is a little too light for me but it's drinkable and most women LOVE it! If you're a beer newbie, I suggest getting your feet wet with the blonde and/or hef. If you're lucky enough to be there on a night where they bring in a food caterer, make sure to try the grub. Typically you get a plate full of tasty food for $5-$7! Last time I was there they had a HUGE taco plate for $5, which definitely HIT the spot!! But if you are unlucky enough to go on a night where there is no outside food, no worries... just grab an appetizer sampler of meats and cheeses by the bar!! I LOVE the jerky and various deli meats they have!! You can grab some jerky to go at the bar by the cashier and some of their deli meats at their deli down the way. Everyone on the staff, including the owner, is very friendly and helpful. For such a large building, I do wish they had more seating. And if not more, I wish the seats they do have were more comfortable. Of course, it's a brewery, not a pub... so I guess it's lucky they have seating at all! All in all, DIcks is an average small-town brewery with a somewhat large variety of beer and an eclectic group of patrons. It's a great place to check out for the average joe or jane... although I think a beer snob would surely be unimpressed and/or disappointed. read more

I am only giving 1 star because the beer was good. Everything else was sub par. My friend and I were sitting at the bar tapping a credit card to get their attention, and still could not get a pour. We were the only two at the small bar, and had to get up and stand in a long line at the end of the bar to get a pour. One of the women working behind the bar was seriously rude as well. It did not feel like a pleasant place to sit and have a drink. If we were not dropped off by our DD, we would have left to go somewhere else. I will for certain not be going back read more

This is what a brewery should be. Great beer, great service (if it gets too busy the regular customers jump in and help), great snacks, and great community feel.

Hidden gem on Galvin Road! Only open Fri and Sat for 4 hours or so. No food is served but you can bring in your own and enjoy their beverages. Pretty cool place. Nothing fancy. Their root beer is to die for!!! Oh and Leighanne is the best little server there!! ;) read more

We loved this place. They are only open on Friday and Saturday from 3-7:30P. It's the brewery where you will find some games on a shelf you can play in the open warehouse while you enjoy their beer! We are from Oregon and found this spot because we had one of their beers while having dinner at restaurant near where we were staying. The waitress told us the brewery was just up the street. This is a small, family owned place that gives tours at 5:30P on the days they are open. You can get a sampler flight which is what we had. Actually, we had a Groupon which included the sampler flight, sampler sausage/cheese platter and a tour. We even got pint glasses at the end of the tour. What a bonus for our trip to this area! Got a growler to go. Ppl were extremely friendly. read more

It makes me VERY sad to give this two star review... but I have to share my experience. First let me say that my family and I have been huge Dick's fans for years. We've taken out of town guests for the brewery tours and buy kegs of Dick's for every major party and event we host. Not only are the beers fantastic but it's very important to us to support local businesses so it's been a win win... Until now. Getting kegs from Dick's has never been a totally easy experience, but it's been worth it in the past. Unfortunately, their motto, "We drink what we can and sell the rest" proved to be true this experience as they seemed to be completely unconcerned with both selling their beer and servicing their customers. This experience, we were ordering kegs for our wedding reception. My husband called a month in advance with our order to make sure they had it ready for us. On the day of the scheduled pick up, my husband arrived to pick up the kegs and they said they had no record of our order. After some confusion, they ended up having some of the beer we had ordered in stock which they could give us. However, upon paying our $500+ for the beer and hefty keg and tap deposits my husband was told, "I hope I don't get in trouble for giving this to you." As though by losing our order and then still selling us beer they were somehow doing us a favor. At our wedding reception, our bartender with 20+ years of experience, found that the tap for the pony keg was broken. Four other people with plenty of keg tapping experience also tried in vain to tap the pony keg. Because of this, we weren't able to even tap the keg. We did, however, to make sure to keep the pony keg on ice to ensure that when we returned it to Dick's untapped it would still be usable for them and we could receive a refund for the beer we weren't able to tap. When I showed up to return the kegs today, I walked in to Northwest Sausage and Deli. The servers were in the middle of a lunch time rush and I was told they would be right with me. I said no problem. Finally, I was asked what I needed and I said that I was here to return some kegs and would need some help unloading. I was given a curt "Well, I'm right in the middle of lunch so you'll need to wait a while." I wasn't in a hurry and so I said no worries. I also told her that one of the taps had been broken so the pony keg hadn't been tapped but had been kept on ice. Her subsequent reply - once again with attitude - was "Well, I've never had that happen, so I really don't know what to do about that." After she went off to continue helping with the lunch rush, another very kind employee offered to unload the kegs. I showed her the taps too and she said it looked like one of them was too small and that they had just had an issue with another tap being broken. I went back inside to finish the return process and was told by the first woman that she just went and tapped both kegs, that the taps were just fine, and that she wouldn't be offering any refund and that was that. She alluded that the bartender probably just didn't know what she was doing. After supporting this local business for years and sending lots of business their way, this blatant disregard for customer service was shocking. No, "I'm sorry"; no, offer of a full or partial refund; no, "we're unable to offer refunds but can provide a discount of your next order", no anything other than "too bad, so sad - you just got screwed." I hope that this was just a one time poor experience due to an employee having an off day. However, I can assure you we will likely find another source for our party kegs in the future. read more

Great beer, enough said. We bought several kegs for my daughter's wedding and our bartender, Amanda, was a gem.

A few of us went here on a Friday for their weekly beer tasting from 3-7pm. They have a huge selection of of their beers on tap, for $3 a pint! They also have meat trays and other snacks that go well with beer. On the day we went, they had tacos for sale, which were AUTHENTIC! These were better than some tacos I've had at "Mexican" restaurants. Anyway, the brewery also has free tours during the beer tastings. There is no doubt that there will be at least one beer to enjoy for that picky beer drinker. I love this place! read more
