About Widmer Brothers
In 1979, with the legalization of home brewing in Oregon, brothers Kurt and Rob Widmer began making beer for themselves and their friends. By 1984 when Craft brewing was legalized, they started their own brewery at Widmer Brewing Company. In 1986 the owner of The Dublin Pub, which already carried the brother’s Altbier and Weizenbier, was eager to expand his offerings and asked the brothers to make a third for him. The brewery only had two fermenters at the time so to save space, they simply left the Weizenbier unfil-tered and impressively cloudy, thus creating the first American-Style Hefeweizen. In 1990 Kurt & Rob moved the brewery to its current location in North Portland and renamed the brewery Widmer Brothers Brewing.
Today, the unfiltered cloudy beer is the company’s signature brew and one of the best selling wheat beers, winning numerous Gold Medals at festivals across the country. The brewery currently produces a variety of award-winning and heralded craft beers including Drop Top Amber Ale and Upheaval IPA.

$5 per pint for non-hosted bars guests will be quoted $6. This includes the required 20% gratuity.
HEFEWEIZEN 4.8% ABV | 30 IBUAmerican-style Hefeweizen, brewed since 1986, Hefeweizen (meaning “yeast wheat” in German) is purposefully cloudy in appearance due to live yeast in suspension. The yeast and Cascade hops deliver complex citrus aromas and flavors, and a crisp, refreshing finish.
DROP TOP AMBER ALE 5.3% ABV | 20 IBUA rich, flavorful amber ale, with exceptionally smooth and easy taste. Uniquely brewed with honey malt and just a touch of milk sugar, Drop Top’s silky character yields complex flavors without a trace of harshness.
UPHEAVAL IPA 7.0% ABV | 85 IBUThe result of our brewers’ relentless pursuit of the perfect IPA. With more than two pounds of hops per barrel, Upheaval IPA unleashes a huge hop flavor and aroma with serious bitterness and balanced finish. Brewed with wheat, the result is a hazy, bold IPA that’s Unfiltered. Unexpected. Unapologetic. Uncompromised.
PDX PILSNER 4.8% ABV | 41 IBUNorthern German style pilsner brewed in the northern part of Portland. At first whiff, notes of spice and lemon zest envelop you. Because we live in arms reach of the hop farms of the Pacific Northwest, we dry hopped our Pils with the once forgotten Columbia hop. PDX is perfect for the short, grey days of winter and the long, sunny days of summer. The bitterness is firm and lingering true to a Pilsner brewed in the North of Germany. Graham cracker, lemon zest, and mild hop spice compliment the bitterness making PDX Pils crisp & refreshing.
