Captured by Porches Brewing Company

In the past three years, Captured by Porches Brewing Company has grown from a community homebrewer's club into a steadily growing family-owned brewing company whose finely crafted beer is currently distributed in both Columbia and Multnomah counties. The last three years have blurred together but one distinct factor has emerged – that we have learned more about who we are – as people and as a company. Our position as Portland's smallest brewery has earned respect within the community, and we appreciate that. In our position as the definitive "underdog" in the Portland beer scene, we have learned to compete with larger micro breweries by consistently producing excellent products made with local and organic ingredients. We strive continuously to minimize our negative effect on the environment, both in our personal lives and in our production methods. Almost all of the waste generated by our brewing process is either eaten by animals, re-used, or recycled. Plus, we are the only NW brewing company at this time (that we know of) that is using only returnable bottles to distribute our product in. With the kind and generous support of our families, and an incredible amount of donated labor from friends, we have opened our own wholesale production brewspace in St. Helens, Oregon. We have chosen this town as the perfect spot for our family's brewery because it is close to our home in Scappoose, Oregon, and while consciously cutting down on gasoline consumption we will also be giving St. Helens its very own brewery! We are proud of this decision and hope that you will come visit us in St. Helens. Our brewery is located on Cowlitz Street, in the heart of the historic area of St. Helens. We are proud to open our brewery alongside a great variety of restaurants with delicious fare as well as specialty and antique shops with fun and interesting items for sale. For families, there is a wonderful little park to play in on the waterfront, an ice cream shop and movies at the local theatre. There are festivals and events on the historic waterfront in the summer – so please check it out if you come to check us out! Our goal is to continue serving the greater Portland area but expand to include Columbia County and beyond… By this I mean to say we would like to share our creations with pubs, bars and restaurants on the Oregon and Washington Coasts. How do we plan to do this? Slowly and carefully. One thing we have learned in the past few years is patience. Sometimes, in order to do something right, one has to be patient and take one step at a time. So, be sure to look for us and ASK for us in your local bar, pub or restaurant. Look for our bottles of fine ales in your local store. Call us to donate kegs to your event, charity or organization. We will consider all requests. Captured by Porches Brewing Company is here to stay. We promise to always do our best by creating only the finest in craft ales and we appreciate you and your business.
