Hopworks Urban Brewery was founded in 2008 in Portland, Oregon with one simple mission – Create exceptional beer and food with sustainable business practices that protect our planet and support our community. Founders Christian and Brandie Ettinger have worked to design and establish a sustainable business model for the brewing industry that includes becoming the first certified B Corp Brewery in the Pacific Northwest. Hopworks is an independent, family-owned and operated small business employing 85 team members. The 20-barrel brewery produces 10,000 barrels of beer per year for the Portland, Vancouver and PDX Airport brewpubs, and for distribution throughout Cascadia and beyond. Hopworks proudly brews conventional and Certified Organic beers with the appropriate locally-sourced, Salmon-Safe and Organic hops and malt. The pubs serve fresh, thoughtfully prepared food in sustainably-built and operated buildings. The pubs’ atmosphere are relaxed, and family-friendly with a creative and rustic “Industrial Ski Lodge” style. Hopworks supports the neighborhoods through donations, profit sharing, and volunteering with local non-profits. Every effort has been made to protect the planet with thoughtful alternatives to the status quo, using beer as a force for good.
