Launched in the foothills of Beaverton in 1990, the Oak Hills Brewery, like the Lighthouse before it, put the brewer in the closest thing to a fishbowl among Portland breweries: It's near impossible for any customer to escape the action during the brewing process. Currently staffed by resident brewer Dan Black, you can count on the Oak Hills tap board to provide a full range of interesting styles.
Oak Hills regulars were vocal and voracious imbibers of Bagdad Ale, so much so that the Edgefield staple became a part of Oak Hills regular brewing rotation along with other company standards and seasonals. Many memorable brews have sprung from its fermenters over the years — including Rhino Stout, It Goes to 11 (Spinal Tap Barleywine), and some of our earliest attempts at producing a Kiwi Fruit Ale. It was also the home of a very early regular fan favorite dubbed Apollo Pale Ale, made by one of our pioneer brewers Scott Barrow.
