All the Portland Breweries
Since my arrival to this fine city of Portland in November 2019, I have visited my fair share of breweries. Portland is often noted as having one of the most breweries per capita of any city, making for an enjoyable adventure to explore new ones on the weekend.
At a certain point, I began to think that maybe I could be reaching the end of this journey; a point of sadness as well as a crowning achievement. However, I could not know for sure without a definitive list.
As such, I combed through all the maps of Portland (and the Oregon Brewers Guild website) to craft this list. Along the way, I struggled with the definition of what is considered a Portland brewery. Was it founded in Portland? Does it brew it’s beer in Portland? If a brewery has several locations, how many and which ones do I count? What about a brewery without any taphouse?
While subjective, I decided to be as strict as possible to arrive at 45 “breweries” in Portland, 13 “outposts” and 35 additional locations to receive beer direct from a brewery (note this is a dynamic list so totals will shift over time). There is still some imperfections, as not all “breweries” have operations on site while some of the additional locations do. When in doubt, I say just visit them all!
