Migration Brewing’s growth story is a testament to passion, perseverance, and a deep connection to the community. What began in 2010 as a modest neighborhood brewpub in Northeast Portland has blossomed into a celebrated brewery with multiple locations across the city.

Founded by four friends with a shared love for craft beer, Migration Brewing quickly gained popularity for its meticulously crafted brews and inviting atmosphere. Their commitment to quality, using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, resonated with Portland’s discerning beer enthusiasts. Migration Brewing continues to innovate and expand while staying true to its roots. With a dedicated team and a passionate following, they are poised to write the next chapter in Portland’s craft beer legacy, embodying the spirit of creativity, community, and quality that defines their brand.
