After five years in its tiny, hand-made brewery and pub, Sasquatch Brewing Company is undertaking a major expansion, adding a new brewing facility in a 4,000-square foot warehouse in industrial Northwest Portland. The new brewery will include a 15-barrel system, two 90-barrel cider fermenters, and a tasting room open to the public seven days a week. Three brand new beers – a Kolsch, Amber and a Grapefruit IPA – and a new Hopped Cider will be released at Sasquatch's Grand Opening event. The event is set for April 21 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 2531 NW 30th Avenue, Portland. The festivities are free and open to the public and will include complimentary barbecue and live music from Portland bluegrass band Out West.
"The brewery has been a labor of love from day one," said Sasquatch Brewery founder Tom Sims. "We have appreciated and thrived on the support of the local community, and are excited that we've come to a point where we've simply outgrown our space. We are looking forward to having room to spread our wings and begin some new programs out of the new location."
The new brewery will feature 22 taps with a wide variety of beers and ciders, local kegged wine, a barrel program for aging beers and large, private event space. The original location in Hillsdale will remain open, focusing on developing small experimental batches.
