The pandemic upended many of the things we think of as distinctively Oregon – festivals, restaurants, hotels, theater. And beer.
Employment at Oregon breweries tumbled 43% in the first months of the pandemic. While many of those jobs bounced back over the summer as the state gradually reopened, brewery jobs remained down nearly 29% a greater fall than at restaurants and bars, overall.
One of Portland’s oldest breweries will cease production next month
Updated Jan 12, 2021;
Portland Brewing, one of the Portland craft beer scene’s founding breweries, will stop production after 34 years in downtown and industrial Northwest Portland next month, according to a post on the brewery’s Facebook page. The brewery will produce its last MacTarnahan’s Amber Ale by February 5.
The brewery was founded in 1986 in what is now the Pearl District by three giants of the city’s early brewing scene: Fred Bowman, Jim Goodwin and Art Larrance. Eventually, the brewery was renamed after lead investor Mac MacTarnahan, whose name graced the brewery’s flagship amber ale, and relocated from its original home to a sprawling Northwest Portland space with a copper kettle brewhouse and European-style beer hall up front.
