Description
Oregon's First and Only B Corp Brewery. Founded in 2008.
Beer as a force for good.

Hopworks was founded in 2007 by our Brewmaster, Christian Ettinger. He started brewing in his parent’s kitchen during his first summer break in college and it didn’t take long to decide he would open his own brewpub.

With locally-sourced, organic and Salmon-Safe hops, our 20-barrel brewery produces 10,000 barrels of beer per year for our two brewpubs, airport brewpub, and for distribution throughout Cascadia and beyond. From composting to salvaged materials, and pervious pavers to hand dryers, we’ve made every effort to protect our planet with thoughtful alternatives to the status quo.

On tap pretty clear dull light orange pour. Thin but lasting sticky white head and lacing . Mild and malty. Not much big fresh bitter hoppiness. Smooth.

On tap at Hopworks PDX, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose brings out gentle tangerine and piney hop characters in good balance. Flavour is fairly laid back for the style, with a simple piney hop character and a touch of citrus. Not a whole lot of flavour depth but it's clean and competently made. Good.
