There is a sense of Déjà vu going on in Oregon. After two decades, it's happening again. In the last half of the eighties, the ‘good beer’ movement took hold here in the quest for a better beer.  Staring in the seventies, the Oregon wine industry put its roots down in the Willamette Valley.  By the nineties, there were hundreds of small wineries making wine that rivaled the Old World. Here in the 21’st Century, small scale artisan-made distilled spirits are poised to remake the beverage landscape like its siblings, beer and wine.

Here are a few of our favorite local distilleries.

Brandy Peak - Bandon, Ore.

Bendistillery - Bend, Ore.

Clear Creek Distillery - Portland, Ore.

Mcmenamin's Edgefield Distillery - Troutdale, Ore.

House Spirits - Portland, Ore.

Ransom Spirits - Sheridan, Ore.

Sub Rosa Spirits - Dundee, Ore.
