Overview

The Outlier

Ordnance Brewing is an outlier, a brewery out past the far edges of Pacific Northwest population centers, far from the region's corporate breweries and dense brewer communities - smack dab in the middle of a beer desert. As such, there are no predetermined expectations, no unspoken rules or formulas to be accountable to. It’s the freedom found in the wide-open spaces of the Columbia Plateau and expansive farmland. In this remoteness, we brew freely, with an innovative spirit, a farmer’s work ethic and the creativity of someone living off the land, making beauty out of little. The owners, brewer and brewery itself are on the fringe, uninhibited, driven to work together for a common cause, a unified mission: Brew distinct, honest and simply enjoyable beer.


Farmer Owned

With roots growing back to the early pioneers who cleared the land to grow fruit, corn, wheat and yes....hops, our founding partners come from a long line of Oregon farmers. The Coleman family landed in the Willamette Valley in the mid 1850s and soon purchased a plot to farm near McMinnville. After pocketing a little change from the California gold rush, the family purchased land near St. Paul and from their spread across the valley and up the Columbia Gorge. Cousins can be found all over the area with ties to prominent hop farms including Coleman Hop Farm, 3D Farm / BC Hop Farms and others. Craig Coleman, our operating partner, grows a variety of crops in the Columbia Plateau among which are blueberries that can be found in our Bloops. Our roots run deep in hops and Oregon which is why you can visit and explore our beers both at the brewery in Boardman or our taproom in Wilsonville.


Free To Brew

We’re brewing beer for people not fads, not trends, not corporate initiatives. For people, and because of this you can trust and count on our beer every time you pick up a bottle or draw a pint. Handcrafted from top quality ingredients, creativity and a desire to provide you with a delicious pint every time. We strive to produce distinct, honest beer in diverse styles that goes beyond being merely enjoyable to being damn enjoyable.
?
We started out with a 7 barrel system producing about 630 barrels a year including a variety of ales and lagers. 2015 brought a bigger vision and as we entered 2016, a new brewing system was ready for installation. This new system raises our potential capacity to more than 150,000 barrels. While we have big hopes and dreams, we will grow methodically and not overwhelm our team. Keep an eye out for our beers at your local tap room and if you don't see them, demand them.
