Old Town Brewing

Old Town Brewing Co. is proud to play a role in the regeneration of inner northeast Portland as one of the first to sign on with Vanport Square, a Portland Development Commission-backed project that has its roots in the City of Vanport. A bustling shipbuilding community of the 1940s, Vanport was home to many of the area’s African American citizens until the flood of 1948 – and discriminatory housing practices – drove them into Portland’s inner north and northeast neighborhoods.
With our family home just three blocks away, we believe in our “old town” neighborhood of Walnut Park, and are taking the opportunity in our history-rich location to showcase our philosophy of sustainability and environmental stewardship. Many of the design features – such as the weathered wood wall from an old Oregon barn, the giant beams from barracks that housed Italian immigrants at the San Pablo Fish & Wildlife Refuge, and the centerpiece chandelier that hung in the Portland Art Museum until a 1970s remodel – were reclaimed and given new life here… just like our neighborhood.
