Yakima Brewing & Malting Co, also known as Grant's Brewery Pub, was a brewpub founded by Bert Grant in Yakima, Washington. With its opening in 1982, it was regarded as the first in the United States since Prohibition. The company produced beer independently or under a parent through 2004.
Yakima Brewing ran into financial difficulties. In 2003, it avoided foreclosure by giving its Physical plant, property and equipment to International Wine & Spirits Ltd. and entering into a lease agreement. It was also found to be in violation of multiple state securities laws. Brewing operations and the pub were closed after the BNSF Railway won a judgment for more than $85,000 in unpaid Renting on the property and legal costs in late 2004. A pub was opened for a third time at a boutique shopping center in 2005. It was closed two months later after the state revoked its liquor license.
Grant's Scottish Ale was nationally acclaimed, while the IPA was considered one of the pioneers in the re-introduction and popularization of the style in America (especially with the demise of the legendary IPA made for many years by Ballantine Brewing Co.) . The Lazy Days seasonal ale won the 2004 English-Style Summer Ale gold World Beer Cup award. Grant's Imperial Stout is thought to be the first imperial stout brewed in the United States Grant also is credited with building the first hop pelletizing machine in the United States.
