"Manny asked me to write up a history of the brewery for the website. 

In general, I find history pieces really boring. It’s always the same kind of thing about how the founders loved beer so much, they decided to quit their boring insurance jobs where they couldn’t drink beer for a living, and dedicate their lives to brewing well crafted beers. 

First of all, everyone loves beer. Even if you don’t, you know someone that does. Second, everyone hates their boring jobs and wishes they could drink beer for work. Third, no one sets out to intentionally make bad beer, even at Strangebrew in Port Townsend. 

Instead, I wrote a really impassioned think piece about growlers, how the growth of our growler program mirrored the history of the company. It was really clever. Or brave. Or meta. I thought it was good. And I’m pretty sure I didn’t mention cats once. 

But Manny wanted something more along the lines about how he and Roger met over their love of ultimate frisbee (aka, beer drinking) and wanted to start a business together because they hated working for The Man and they actually wanted to open up a cat food company. Just kidding, they wanted to start a brewery. Literally: they loved beer, quit an insurance job (that was Roger, Manny may or may not have been employed at the time) and wanted to make really good beer. You know, boring.

So, here’s the history of the brewery - two guys that liked beer a lot and hated working for other people came together to start a brewery. Between the time they brewed test batches of pale ales and purchased a 15 barrel system from a defunct brewery in North Carolina in 2002, to now when they support nearly 100 employees and are the largest independent brewery in Washington State, a lot has happened. How about you come down to the brewery and we’ll tell you all about it over some beer?"

MORE ABOUT MIGRATION BREWING:

"On a sunny day in the Fall of 2008, we found ourselves sharing beers and engrossed in a conversation that began about starting a business but quickly delved into personal values and visions of the future. The four of us quickly realized that we shared more than a passion for great beer; we shared a value set about life and the role that beer plays in it. A dream was born and the wheels were set in motion to open our flagship Glisan Street brewpub in early 2010.

The days were long and the sleep was short but year after the year our business grew through hard work and relationships. Migration endeared itself to the local community through fundraisers, events and tireless self-distribution of draft kegs. In the Spring of 2017 we signed with the largest beverage distributor on the west coast and the next chapter of the business began when we opened our 20,000sf Gresham production facility in 2018. Since then, the company has become one of the fastest growing breweries in Oregon with distribution in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Hong Kong, and Japan.

We believe that every beer we make has the power to ignite a conversation. To bring an idea to life. To bring people together. We invite you to share in our values of community, chasing dreams and passion for great beer!"
