The U.S. state of Oregon is home to more than 200 breweries and brew pubs that produce a large variety of beer.
History
- 1852 - Henry Saxer established the Liberty Brewery in Portland.[citation needed]
- 1862 - After working at and later owning several smaller breweries, Henry Weinhard purchased and expanded Liberty Brewery which was later renamed City Brewery.[1]
- 1914 - Five years before national prohibition was established, the voters of Oregon approved a statewide ban on the manufacture, sale or advertisement of intoxicating liquor.[2]
- 1933 - Oregon and the nation ratified the 21st Amendment.[citation needed]
- 1985 - Oregon Legislature legalized brewpubs.[citation needed]
According to a 2014 report by the Beer Institute, Oregon had 208 breweries, a number exceeded by only three states – California (with 509 breweries), Washington (251), and Colorado (217).[3] As of July 2015, Oregon was home to 234 brewing facilities operated by 194 brewing companies.[4] There are also many nanobreweries in Oregon. Many breweries have won nationwide and international acclaim.
Breweries
The following are some Oregon-based breweries and microbreweries. The larger volume breweries and microbreweries in the list include the number of barrels sold using information from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), 2004. Caldera Brewing Company of Ashland, Oregon (3,300 barrels brewed in 2009), Barley Brown Brewery, Bend Brewing, Deschutes, Full Sail and Widmer Brothers won gold in 2010 at the World Beer Cup. In the same competition, Upright Brewing and Hop Valley Brewing won Bronze; while Pelican Pub & Brewery, Hopworks Urban Brewery, and Rogue Ales won Silver.[5]
Large producers
The largest beer producers in Oregon, all of which are high-volume American breweries, are:
- BridgePort Brewing Company, Portland, 100,000+ barrels (2007 info)
- Deschutes Brewery, Bend, 346,689 barrels
- Full Sail Brewing Company, Hood River, 115,450 barrels
- Ninkasi Brewing Company, Eugene, 100,849 barrels
- Rogue Ales, Newport, 105,961 barrels
- Widmer Brothers Brewery, Portland 450,000 barrels (2011 info)
Information in the above list is per the Brewers Association's 2015 production quantity unless otherwise noted. Henry Weinhard's, formerly of Portland, is now owned and brewed by SABMiller, although some beers are brewed under contract by Full Sail Brewing Company.
Smaller breweries
Oregon has many mid-size and small breweries. Most of them produce kegs of beer to be served on draft at taverns and restaurants. Many of them also package their beer in bottles or cans. Some production breweries have taprooms where patrons can drink the beer that is produced onsite. And some breweries are brewpubs – full-service restaurants that brew their own beer.
