Von Ebert Brewing closing Pearl District location in shift to new facility

PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – It’s a sad day for beer lovers in the Pearl District.

After six years of service , Von Ebert Brewing has announced its plans to close their NW 13th Avenue location in a social media post on Friday. Their last day will be Sunday, April 28.

According to the company, the closure comes as the brewery chose to shift its focus to its new production facility and taproom on North Cook Street, which recently took over the Ecliptic Brewing facility .

“Please visit us at our pub located on the Glendoveer Golf Course or our Beaverton and Cascade Station taprooms,” the post on Instagram read. “Thank you for your support over the years.”

The Von Ebert team recently said the expansion would allow them to boost production and distribution from 4,000 barrels per year to as much as 20,000 barrels per year.

Oregon breweries have faced major challenges the last few years – ranging from inflated cost of ingredients, supply chain issues, employee shortages, and the COVID pandemic.

The brewery previously told KOIN 6 News it hoped to “weather these hard times,” by expanding into more 12-ounce canning and off-premises sales.

They also plan to expand its distribution throughout Oregon, and Washington and later into Idaho, and California.
