Talking Cedar Brewery
Long before Talking Cedar became a distillery, the Chehalis Tribe had called the lands of Southwest Washington home for countless generations. Deeply connected to the rivers, forests, and prairies of their ancestral homeland, the Tribe has long embraced values of stewardship, resilience, and respect for the natural world. Cedar, a tree woven throughout Coast Salish cultures, symbolizes strength, protection, and continuity, making it a fitting inspiration for our name. Today, those same values guide everything we do. From using water drawn from our own aquifer on tribal land to working with Tribal artists, foraging native ingredients, and supporting Tribal businesses whenever possible, Talking Cedar exists to honor the past while creating opportunity and prosperity for future generations.
