Description
Widmer Brothers Brewing is located in brew-friendly Portland, OR. Our publicly-held brewery employs over 150 people who are as passionate about quality craft beer as Kurt & Rob themselves.

We opened our first brewery in 1984 in what is now the Pearl District. In 1990 we built a new 40-barrel brewing system in our current Russell Street location.

In 1996, we completed installation of a state-of-the art 250-barrel brew house, bringing our capacity to 220,000 barrels per year. In 1996, for the first time in our brewery's history we installed a bottling line, capable of producing 500 bottles per minute. In 2008 we added six new 1500-barrel fermentation tanks that increased our capacity to 450,000 barrels per year, and added a new keg filling line capable of filling 300 kegs per hour.

Bottled. Pours a headish amber, just kind of plainish tasting but not necessarily in a bad way. Easy to drink but not hyper interesting.

Bottle from Barley Wine, Copenhagen - Colour is amber, with a good healthy off white head. Punchy citrus fruity hop taste and aroma, grainy caramel malt base. Great mouthfeel, good bitter finish. Really liked this.

Bottle. Not the best Pale Ale I’ve had. Yellow in color. Good head. Taste was like hay, some light citrus. Aroma was weak with a slight straw and citrus smell.
