Sunriver Brewing Co. Oakway Pub: Central Oregon Beer in Eugene
First stop: Sunriver Brewing's Oakway Pub in the Oakway Center. Sunriver brews its beer in Sunriver, in Central Oregon, and the Eugene pub has more tap handles than any other Sunriver pub, pouring limited releases alongside the core favorites. The menu carries Sunriver's classics plus dishes you can only order at Oakway, and the pub is open every day.
Ninkasi Brewing Company: Crafting Legends, One Brew at a Time
Now, prepare to ascend to Olympus with Ninkasi Brewing, the goddess of good times. We find them to be Eugene's pioneers in hoppiness. If you love hops & a great variety of IPAs, you'll be honeymooning at Ninkasi Brewing. Outside of their dedication to great beer, they also have various charitable causes they passionately support.
ColdFire Brewing Company: Igniting Flavorful Experiences
ColdFire Brewing Company stands out as one of Eugene's most underrated local breweries. Nestled in Eugene, Oregon, this small craft brewery embodies a fusion of European brewing traditions with a touch of Northwest inspiration and locally-sourced ingredients. Coldfire Brewing's commitment to experimentation means you'll often find unique flavors that push the boundaries of traditional brewing. When available, Tangle with the Tiger, is the best IPA near and far!
Xicha Brewing - Eugene: Tasteful Craft Cerveza
Time to head south to Xicha Brewing. Their dedication to inclusivity goes beyond their diverse beer offerings; Xicha Brewing offers an amazing menu of Latin American-inspired dishes that perfectly complement the brews. Whether a novice or dedicated connoisseur, you'll appreciate the unique brew flavors. Their Eugene taproom is on East 32nd Avenue in south Eugene, and they have a second location in Salem.
Drop Bear Brewery: An Aussie Taproom in South Eugene
While you're in south Eugene, stop by Drop Bear Brewery on Willamette Street. Owners David and Lorraine were born in Australia, and the brewery is named for the mythical Australian drop bear. The taps run from stouts, browns and pilsners to saisons, IPAs and hazies, plus experimental batches brewed with wild yeast or Scandinavian kveik yeast. Order a pizza (yes, there's an Aussie pizza), grab a seat outside, and bring the dog.
Oakshire Public House: Twenty Years of Eugene Beer
Next, Oakshire Public House on Madison Street in the Whiteaker. Oakshire has brewed in Eugene for twenty years, and it is one of the best local brewers in town. This fall the company announced it would close, then decided a month later to keep the Public House open under the same ownership, with Oakshire beer now brewed alongside a partner brewery in Oregon.
Gratitude Brewing: Brews Infused with Thanks and Tradition
Our last stop is at Gratitude Brewing – a place filled with gratefully crafted brews. Gratitude's cozy, family-friendly ambiance welcomes families with kids. Aside from their plentiful varieties of beers, they have partnered with Tradewinds Café and offer a wonderful selection of food. Gratitude Brewing isn't just a name; it's the very essence of this brewery. From their organic ingredients to their community-focused events, Gratitude is all about good vibes and good beer.
