Portland’s Organic Roots Brewery Closes

July 14, 2010 By Jay Brooks 4 Comments

Ugh, I hate this kind of news. John Foyston is reporting that Oregon’s first organic brewery, Roots Brewing in Portland, is closed. Owner Craig Nicholls also founded the North American Organic Beer Festival, but no word on the festival’s fate. Check out the full story in the Oregonian.

    Craig is a fine guy and is an asset to the brewing community. As an owner/brewer who closed my brewpub and focused on bottling, I really, really do feel for him. (Craig, call me if you want to chat.)

    Sad to see any brewery, in fact, any small business fail. An interesting perspective on Roots Brewing’s closure can be found here:

    Roots was my favorite brewery. Their epic ale was just that: epic. This was a sad day for beer. I will miss them dearly.
