According to a recent article from New School Beer, Oregon City Brewing will expand its footprint to the former Canby Library at 292 N Holly St.
A representative of Oregon City Brewing was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
According to the article, the new location is slated to open in the early summer this year. The original plan for the new location was to open in 2022, which was later pushed back to 2023 and has been pushed back again to 2024.
“Their ambitious plan is for a barrel-aging cellar with 120+ barrels and a post-pandemic friendly taproom with a sliding glass wall for seamless flow indoors and outdoors to a massive patio with seating for 257. That plan has seen consistent delays based on approvals, costs, and permits, which saw the original plan to open in 2022 pushed to late 2023 and featured in our most anticipated new breweries and taprooms last year.”
“But it was again restructured and delayed to 2024 where it is beginning to take shape with a few updates and changes. So he broke up the project into two phases and completed the work he had approval for which included the structural/seismic upgrades, new 36 ft. glass storefront, above deck insulation, and a new roof.”
“That previous timeline ended up being way off!,” says Oregon City Brewing owner Bryce Morrow in the New School Beer article. “I was notified in early Feb. 2023, that a traffic impact analysis was required and this added 6 months.
Oregon City Brewing’s website states, “The American dream is starting a business in your garage. Then growing out of the garage and transforming a derelict carpet store into a living room for the community. Our goal is to build a multi-generational business where employees and customers are treated like family.”
“Oregon City Brewing Company is a new American brewery, the product of our thriving Oregon craft beer culture, shaped deeply by Oregon City values: community, quality craftsmanship, and a spirit of innovation. We exist for two reasons: to make great craft beer, and to build community in the town we love.”
