USA, WA: Husband-and-wife team launches Moonshot Brewing in Kennewick

It's been Ryan Wattenbarger and his wife's dream for the past four years. And now, it's finally come true.

The Wattenbarger's say it's more of a passion project, combining two of the things they love most, beer and soccer. That's what led them to open Moonshot Brewing, YakTriNews reported on June 5.

The brewery features seven different beers, where all but two are created on site. There are also ciders, sparkling water and sparkling juices for underage guests to enjoy.

The brewery also has soccer decorations plastered on the walls, and the owners say games will be played on the TV's they have.

"You can come in, you can hang out with your friends, you can watch a soccer game," Wattenbarger said. "We wanted to build a place where the community could gather and watch USA games, Sounders games and other big games."

There will also be board games, like checkers, chess, Uno and more for people to play.

The brewery will not have food, but are planning on having a food truck onsite some nights. The days when there isn't, guests are invited to bring in food of their own or from somewhere else.

Moonshot Brewing is located at 8804 W Victoria Ave in Kennewick. It is open Wednesday and Thursday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. and closed on Monday and Tuesday.
