According to a recent permit filing, Yovu Beer will have a change hands in Oregon City at 14214 Fir Street Unit H.
A representative of Yovu Beer told What Now Portland that the deal is currently ongoing as of February 9th.
According to an article from New School Beer written in 2022, “First previewed in our ‘Most Anticipated New Oregon Breweries of 2022’ article from earlier this year, the Yovu Brewing brand makes their first quiet lager-centric appearance on draft at this event.”
“The one-man project comes from Nate Yovu, the former Burnside Brewing Co. chef and former brewer/co-owner of BTU Brasserie brewery, who now is a yeast specialist at Imperial Yeast. Not much yet is known about Yovu Brewing except that they will focus on making light American lagers cool again from a very small production footprint to specialty accounts only.”
When doing a bit more research on the property itself, Coin Toss Brewing is listed to reside at the address on Yovu Beer’s permit filing. According to the company website, “The two New England natives who founded Portland — called The Clearing at the time — both vied for the bragging rights of naming the 640-acre locale after their respective hometowns.”
“Pioneers Asa Lovejoy from Boston Massachusetts and Francis Pettygrove of Portland, Maine split the site’s land claim, and in 1845 settled the decision on a coin toss. Pettygrove won the best two-out-of-three coin toss in the parlor of the Francis Ermatinger House in Oregon City and the rest is history.”
“Portland was incorporated in 1849, and the copper one-cent piece, minted in 1835 and now dubbed the Portland Penny, is on display at the Oregon Historical Society Museum.”
