eaverton beer sip-
pers have reason to
celebrate as Progress
Ridge
TownSquare
welcomes a new tenant, The
Growlerie.
The business, with the catchy
phrase of “Craft Brews On Tap
To Go,” will feature craft beer,
craft hard cider, and kombucha
(a brewed tea) on tap. On any
given day, customers will find 40
products. Most of the featured
beers will come from Oregon
and all the taps will be rotated,
resulting in different products
every week.
“We’ll probably have six or
eight Portland breweries repre-
sented,” said Derrell Ness, one
of the four owners of The Growl-
erie.
What sets The Growlerie
apart from a typical pub is that
customers can bring in re-us-
able half-gallon bottles called
“growlers” and take home the
beer of their choice. Patrons
may bring in their own growler
or purchase one at The Growl-
erie. If you don’t quite have
your neighbor’s thirst, two-pint
“growlettes” are offered.
“It’s a tap room to go,” Ness
said.
Of course there’s still the op-
tion of consuming beer at The
Growlerie.
“We’ll have some seating. In
the summer, we’re going to have
some tables outside overlooking
the lake,” Ness said, adding that
light foods, including specialty
cheeses and meats, will be of-
fered.
He hopes The Growlerie will
help Oregonians learn about
beer, a beverage that is increas-
ingly putting Oregon on the
map.
“We’re not just out to sell beer
to people who are already drink-
ing beer every day. A lot of peo-
ple are kind of intimidated by
the hundreds of different beers
available out there,” Ness said,
pointing out that people can
learn what makes an IPA an IPA
or learn the difference between
a golden and an amber ale.
“Every beer has a story. It’s
great to knowwho made it, what
they were trying to accomplish,”
he added.
Ness is happy to be opening
his business at Progress Ridge
TownSquare.
“I think it’s a perfect place for
us,” Ness said. “We were very
deliberate about choosing this
as a location for our store. The
neighborhood is welcoming. It’s
an exciting place. There’s a lot of
enthusiasm.”
The Growlerie wants to em-
bark on a “community building”
mission to bring people togeth-
er.
“We’ll have tastings. We’ll
have a lot of events with dif-
ferent breweries coming in to
educate people about what they
make.”
Ness wants his customers to
feel welcome.
“We’re there to educate
you and introduce you to new
things,” Ness said. “We’ll have
something for the first-timer to
the most hard-core beer geek.”
The Growlerie will appeal to novice beer
drinkers and self proclaimed experts alike
“Every beer has a story.
It’s great to knowwho
made it, what they were
trying to accomplish.”
