Sasquatch Brewing Co. is expanding, 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 April 21.
“The brewery’s new location will give us the room to make lagers, start a barrel-aging program and start packaging beer and cider in a 500ml bottle format. The new facility in the heart of Northwest Portland is a brewer’s dream,” Mike Paladino, Head Brewer, said.
“We’ve come to a point where we’ve simply outgrown our space,” said Sasquatch Brewery founder Tom Sims. 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.
Sasquatch started as a classic Northwest, hop-driven brewery, and over the years has broadened its offerings to include sours, Belgians and ciders. Its top year-round beers include Woodboy IPA, Oregon Session Ale, Vanilla Bourbon Cream Ale, Hairy Knuckle Stout and Red Electric IRA.
