Eugene Oregon 541-344-2739 http://www.ninkasibrewing.com -123.110000610352 44.0569000244141 Ninkasi Brewing has been making tasty brews for several years including Total Domination IPA, Tricerahops, Otis Oatmeal Stout, Schwag, Believer Double Red, Quantum Pale Ale and seasonsal including: Sleigh'R and Spring Reign. They are not a brewpub and don't have a tasting room, but you can stop by and taste some of the beers directly in the brewery. I would suggest calling ahead though. Steelhead Brewing Co.

When I am in the mood for a light refreshing beer I always order their Hairy Weasal Hefeweizen. This English-inspired pub offers a variety of food from pizzas to steaks. If you sit at the bar you can watch the brewers work while you enjoy the fruits of their labor. Eugene City Brewery

The Bier Stein is more than a bottle shop, it is also a pub that rotates 10 beers on tap and offers a variety of appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Willamette Brewery

1055 Madera Street

Eugene Oregon 97402 541-688-4555 http://www.willamettebrewery.com/ -123.140998840332 44.0730018615723 Formerly known as Willamette Brewery, Oakshire Brewing is located in the industrial area of Eugene, but is worth the trip. Oakshire’s expanding list of beers includes Oakshire Amber, Oakshire Wheet, Watershed IPA, and my personal favorite the Overcast Espresso Stout. Like Ninkasi, Oakshire does not have a pub, but their tasting room is open on Saturdays from 12-4pm.
