Upright Brewing lays out plans for 2 new locations, plus drift from farmhouse ales focus
Updated Feb 10, 2021;
Upright Brewing, the highly acclaimed but subterranean brewery near Portland’s Rose Quarter, is planning two expansion projects that would haul it out of a longtime basement home that’s quaint and cozy – but cramped and locationally confusing.
At the same time, founder and owner Alex Ganum said, Upright will also continue to branch out its offerings – accelerating a shift in focus from farmhouse ales to other traditional Old World styles.
Upright will close its current taproom and open a cafe and taproom on the first floor of its current Leftbank Building, 240 N. Broadway, taking over the space previously occupied by the Sting Ray Café, which gave up its lease. The ground-floor space will be a partnership with Sellwood’s The Portland Bottle Shop, which will oversee food and coffee service.

Breakside Is One of Several Breweries Moving Forward With New Openings in 2021 January saw a flurry of announcements about expansions, including Migration, Stickmen and Upright. (Hilary Sander) Nearly everyone feared for Oregon s craft brewing community last year. But as we head into 2021, a number of breweries are moving forward with expansions despite still facing COVID-19 serving restrictions. Breakside Brewery is among those with the most ambitious projects, as The New School first reported. The Dekum-born brand is branching out to the suburbs and opening venues in Beaverton and Lake Oswego. It will also serve as the core beer bar at a developing food hall on Southeast 82nd Avenue.
