Little Beast Brewing opening a Tasting Room at Clackamas brewery

Little Beast Brewing owners Charles Porter and Brenda Crow

Oregon’s acclaimed Little Beast Brewing is opening a second taproom at their production facility in Clackamas, Oregon. Some may remember that when former Logsdon head brewer Charles Porter and his wife Brenda Crow first debuted Little Beast Brewing they were making beer in Beaverton, later they obtained the shuttered Drinking Horse Brewing in Clackamas and opened a Portland taproom at the former location of Lompoc Hedge House. That taproom and beer garden has become a popular destination, but now fans in the Clackamas area off of Highway 212 will get an opportunity to enjoy their beers at the source. The tasting room will open in late summer or early fall with open hours on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. 

“The brewery is on Highway 212, so there’s a lot of people coming through here on their way to and from outdoor adventures along the Clackamas River or in the Mt. Hood National Forest,” says Little Beast co-owner Brenda Crow. “It’s a great place to stop off and conveniently try our newest offerings, vintage beers, and grab some four packs before or after fishing, floating the river, and backpacking.”

The tasting room will open with twelve taps, which includes eleven Little Beast beers and a cider. Because this location is also the epicenter of Little Beast’s popular barrel-aged and foeder-aged experiments, the brewery is offering an extensive 25+ vintage bottle list for onsite consumption. These are highly limited beers that were saved and cellared specifically for the purpose of aging and/or vertical releases, most of which will not be available anywhere else.

Members of Little Beast’s exclusive bottle club—Guardians of Funk—will have first access to the tasting room during a special event, which the brewery will announce in the coming weeks.

Information about the Little Beast Tasting Room grand opening will follow soon.

Little Beast Tasting Room Address:

11517 SE Highway 212, Clackamas, OR 97015.
