Raise a pint to Portland's brewers. The city has been the epicenter of America's craft-brewing renaissance since the 1980s. Nicknamed "Beervana" and "Munich on the Willamette", Portland is the beer capital of the world, with 32 breweries in the city limits - 38 if you include the entire metro area. That's more than any other city on earth.

The brewery and adjacent brew pub are located in Portland's historic Pearl District at 1313 NW Marshall Street and produces a variety of international style ales, including IPA in addition to our newest ale Supris. BridgePort's beers are naturally conditioned in the bottle, keg, or cask from which they are served - they're never force carbonated. The natural conditioning creates ale that is smooth, naturally carbonated, and full of flavor. Other traditional ales in the BridgePort portfolio include ESB, Black Strap Stout, Ropewalk Amber Ale, Blue and Heron Pale Ale.
