Ninkasi Brewing
Brewer
Back in 2005, neither Jamie Floyd nor Nikos Ridge knew exactly where their friendship would lead. What they did know was it would probably center around beer.
Simultaneously, Jamie began to discover his love of brewing. Born in Cupertino, California, Jamie moved north to attend the University of Oregon in 1990. He brewed his first batch of homebrew in the kitchen of a campus co-op called The Lorax. That first stout propelled Jamie into an 11-year brewing career at Steelhead Brewery in Eugene.
Now in its tenth year, the brewery continues to grow while remaining fully independent and continuously focused on community. A team of two has increased to a family of over 100 employees who operate Ninkasi’s tasting room, production and lab facilities, sales force, marketing teams, local distribution arm, and a donations program. Ninkasi maintains a year-round Flagship Series of seven beers, including Total Domination IPA, followed by seasonal, special release, and R&D offerings. Read more

I had been looking forward to our trip to Eugene for the Oregon vs. WSU football game, mostly because Ninkasi was our first stop of the day! It's a huge complex, but the tasting room itself is cozy, with ample room to enjoy your beers outside at picnic tables. ...

For beer, I enjoyed a couple pints of their Oktoberfest because FALL - and it's one of my favorite varieties of beer in general. There version is great, and I'll be picking up a few bombers at Trader Joe's back in Seattle before they're gone! -
Great for a casual afternoon pint and snack. Baby, kid, and pet friendly. Wonderful waitstaff.

Congrats Ninkasi for making it to one of my all time favorite breweries in the U.S. Yupp.

But why in the world are you located in Eugene? I guess you're too cool to be in Portland where all the others are huh?
... Only drinks here guys, BUT they allow food and there just "happens" to be food trucks across the street.
I think I'm just biased because my S.O. really loves Ninkasi, too. More to love. -

Well done. Very cool place to visit in the heart of Whiteaker Community. Great selection of beers and grub, love the art of architecture.

Fantastic tour and great flights. They even come with collectible trading cards. If every brewery did this with their flights, I'd be helpless to not collect them all. Try the Tricerahops IIPA! A staple of the Eugene beer scene.
