About
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.

Flavour is grainy malts with toffee, honey and popcorn, as well as grassy hops. Weird beer or faulty tap lines?

Soort hazy weekend met een Amerikaans tintje. Zuipt weg als koud water in de woestijn. Tropisch, harsig, haver. Zacht, fris, met een crispy randje. Maar ook een beetje simpel en zanderig. Toppie.

On tap at Hopworks PDX, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is pretty yogurty, with subdued apricot and plenty of lacto character. Flavour is much the same, with plenty of yogurty character and gentle apricot character. Pretty typical, unexciting kettle sour. Decent.

On tap at Hopworks PDX, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small light brown head. Aroma reveals a nice toasted malt base, with gentle honey and crusty bread. Flavour is robust, with a solid toasted malt character, accentuated by light honey sweetness. Toasted and pleasant overall. Decent stuff.

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.

On tap at Hopworks PDX, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose is forceful, with lots of grapefruit rind, citrus peel, and piney hops. Flavour is loaded with citrus peel, grapefruit, and piney hops. Just enough sweetness to back. Forceful and clean hop character. Very good.

On tap at Hopworks PDX, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits, citrus zest, and piney hops, and just enough biscuity malt. Flavour is vibrant, with lots of tropical fruits, bold resinous hops, some pine, melon, and just enough biscuity malt backbone. Tropical, juicy, piney and resinous with excellent balance, yet forceful hoppy assertiveness. Excellent.
