F.H. Steinbart Homebrew Supply Blowout Sale and Farewell Closing Party
The last day of business for America’s oldest homebrew supply shop will be Friday, April 3rd, 2026, followed by a farewell/wake party on Saturday, April 4th. F.H. Steinbart Co. opened in Portland, Oregon in 1918 and has been a hub for both the commercial brewing industry and homebrewers and homemakers, cidermakers, farmers, and the greater makers community for 108 years. The homebrew supply shop initially announced they were closing in December 2025, but reversed course shortly thereafter with an outpouring of support. The revival of F.H. Steinbart was short-lived however, the building is now up for sale and the final days are numbered.
Starting Monday March 30 everything at F.H.Steinbart will be 75% off with the exception of liquid yeast and bags of base malt which will be 50% off. The final day of business is Friday 4/3 from 8am-5:30pm. The next day they are inviting people in to say goodbye from 12-6pm with local craft beers on tap, homebrewers and industry are invited to bring kegs and bottles/cans for a bottleshare. Jockey boxes will be available to tap your corny or Sankey kegs! join the party. All beer is FREE!
As The New School first reported on December 9th, the 3-suite building that F.H.Steinbart occupies was put up for sale for $1,800,000 and that included $400k + of F.H.Steinbart inventory and the opportunity to save the business. The price has now been reduced, now listed for $1,200,000.00, which is $60k less than the original asking price but minus the inclusion of the Steinbart inventory.
The good news is that Steinbart’s invaluable draft services department that stocked pieces, supplies, and hardware for commercial draft systems as well as homebrewers systems, will transition to a new location. Ameeti owns and operates Perfect Pour, a company that specializes in commercial draft tech that had relocated into Steinbart after the purchase. Perfect Pour will survive the closure, and is moving into a new warehouse space at 3651 SE 21st Ave.
“As this transition happens, gas services (exchanges and fills), industry parts, draft chemicals, and equipment rentals will continue through Perfect Pour Services. The goal is to maintain continuity for breweries, bars, and draft system customers even as the retail side winds down,” says Ameeti.
Beginning March 16, draft department parts, chemicals, and gas services should be available through Perfect Pour at the new location. At the same time, F.H. Steinbart will begin ceasing sales of these items as inventory transitions out.
“We’re sad to see the homebrew ingredient side of F.H. Steinbart coming to a close after such a long history, but we’re grateful for the community support and excited to continue serving the draft and beverage industry through Perfect Pour Services,” says Ameeti.
