From the creative mind of brewer Ben Dobler, Hammer & Stitch Brewing opens in northwest Portland this Saturday, October 10th at 11am. Focusing on clean looks, and old school simplicity, Hammer & Stitch will deliver on classic clean lagers and ales for people that still appreciate more malt driven beers.

After 25 years at Widmer Brothers Brewing, and following those up with stints as the brewmaster for Laurelwood Brewing and Mt. Tabor Brewing, Ben Dobler knows a few things about crafting balanced recipes. H&S’s lead brewer Cameron Murphy worked with Dobler at Laurelwood, and went on to brew at Von Ebert Brewing. Along with marketing manager Madison Moody and kitchen partners Grand Cru Hospitality, they make up the small team that will run and operate the taproom and it’s elevated views and pub grub.

On opening, H&S will have five beers of their own brewed in-house. The brew crew opted not to take the collaboration route in brewing up beers at friends breweries in order to fill the taps. Instead these will be the first five beers out of the gate and make up the standard year-round lineup H&S would like to see become the mainstays.
