Double Mountain Brewing
Established in 2007, Double Mountain stands by the belief of creating great beers and ciders that everyone will enjoy. We are a “Brewer's Brewery”, creating beers and ciders that we love to drink. Our beers are unfiltered and long-aged, delivering complex, assertive, and balanced character. Situated in the adventurous town of Hood River, at the base of Mt. Hood, on the Columbia River, Double Mountain embraces a healthy outdoor culture with a deep community environment. Championing sustainability, we are pioneering refillable bottles in Oregon and house 25,000 sq. ft. of solar panels, pushing for a sustainable future. As the Hood River locals’ brewery, approachable staff, authenticity, community, and an affable atmosphere fill the brewery, highlighted by amazing beer, cider, and pizza.
Breakside Brewing
Breakside Brewery opened in 2010 in Northeast Portland as a restaurant and pub brewery and has grown to be a highly regarded regional brewery producing 30,000 barrels annually. The brewery is known for its broad portfolio of award-winning, innovative beers. In 2013, Breakside expanded operations to Milwaukie, OR with a production facility and taproom capable of producing 40,000 barrels of beer per year. The brewery opened its third location in 2017— a lively brewpub in the Slabtown district of Northwest Portland. In 2019, Breakside became one of only a handful of employee-owned breweries in the country.
In addition to winning many national, international, and regional awards for its beers, Breakside was named Brewery of the Year in 2017 and 2019 at the Oregon Beer Awards and the 2018 Best of Craft Beer Awards. Breakside sells beer on draft and in package in Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Massachusetts, and Northern California.
Ex Novo Brewing
The idea of Ex Novo began in a garage full of homebrew in NE Portland circa 2012. Beer has always done a great job of bringing people together and hatching great ideas, like the one to start a brewery that gives all its profits away. We wanted to form a brewery that respects the pedigree of brewing found in the NW and one that strives to do everything right: from crafting consistently enjoyable and unique beers, to great and unexpected food in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Portland deserves nothing less. We also believe in making things right, both in our city and around the globe.
Our mission as a brewery is to donate 100% of our profits to those building a better world and bringing hope to places where it is scarce. Joel Gregory is the Founder and President and manages the new business along with enjoying being a father of two little girls. Ex Novo opened its doors in July of 2014 - thanks for your support!
Upright Brewing
Inspired by his love of traditional French & Belgian farmhouse ales, Alex Ganum founded Upright Brewing in 2009. Since then it's grown into of the Rose City's most well loved and well respected breweries, churning out impeccably crafted, unique and always delicious ales.
Upright Brewing beers are a marriage of that European heritage with local ingredients and a Pacific Northwest twist, while also dabbling in both classic and quirky projects from around the world. The name is a reference to Charles Mingus and his primary instrument. Mingus was a musician whose compositions defy categorization. At Upright the recipes and processes are decidedly unbound, making for a true hybrid style that shares Mingus’ spirit of exercising creativity and craft.
Ecliptic Brewing
Ecliptic Brewing is a venture from John Harris, an Oregon craft brewing icon. As a result of his efforts at McMenamins, Deschutes and Full Sail, craft beer lovers have been enjoying John's beers for over thirty years.
The name Ecliptic Brewing unites John’s two passions: brewing and astronomy. The ecliptic is earth’s yearly path around the sun, and we celebrate this journey through the seasons with the food and beer we make. Our brewhouse showcases several beer releases each year, ranging from modern and experimental brews to long standing favorites. And through it all, we respond to our customer's desires and introduce them to new experiences that keep them coming back for more. Flagship beers include Starburst IPA, Carina Peach Sour Ale, and Capella Porter.
You can find Ecliptic beers in restaurants and retail shops in Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho, Colorado, North Carolina, Canada, and Japan.
Portland Cider Company
Northwest craft cider sets a high bar. But at Portland Cider Company we embrace the opportunity to raise it even further. Our innovative and often collaborative approach helps us make delicious hard ciders that appeal to creative (and discerning) thinkers, makers, and doers like you. We expect more from cider, we think you should too.

Hearth & Soul Pizza
The conversion of a used and outdated school bus into a bright blue food truck with a wood fire pizza oven in the back was not just about the reconstruction of a vehicle, it was about making a dream come true. The idea to put a wood fire oven in the back of a school bus developed over years of contemplation and conversation with his wife Misha. Themes and ideas came and went, but the decision to use a school bus stuck around. Finding the perfect bus, however, did not come so easily. Three years of searching for the perfect vehicle proved to be worth the wait, when a bus turned up for sale a few hours away from their then home city of Denver, CO. The final leg of the journey for Bella Bus was the long trip from Denver, CO to Portland, OR. Ben and Misha have relocated to the Portland area, looking to begin their business with a fresh start. With all the beauty and excitement of the Pacific Northwest, Portland was the perfect place to begin a new life and a new journey together.
