Amnesia Brewing Announces Expansion to Washougal, WA
By Adam Taylor (of Lone Wolf Development)
Popular Portland microbrewer Amnesia Brewing announces expansion to Washougal, Washington location. The beloved brew masters will open this summer in downtown Washougal. Their new facility will include a tasting room and pub in addition to the brewhouse. Amnesia will be located at 1834 Main Street, in a renovated, early 1900’s era brick building (pictured above, not renovated). Washougal – a Chinook word that translates to “rushing waters” – is situated at the western gateway to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The expansion will allow Amnesia to greatly increase their production capacity and expand their customer base and distribution. Amnesia currently produces approximately 1,700 barrels of beer a year in their North Portland location. The Washougal location will produce up to 6,000 barrels in the first year of operation. Amnesia has plans to incorporate canning and bottling of their signature beers in the near future.
According to Kevin King, the owner of Amnesia, the concept was right from the beginning. “Washougal really fits our personality. The town is under-stated, has a great history, and tremendous potential. It’s not a flashy place, and Amnesia is not a flashy brewery.” He continued by saying, “The first time I stood in front of the building on Main St., I was taken back to Mississippi Street (North Portland) in 2003. Washougal is ready for growth. We just feel lucky that we get to be in on the ground floor again.” Read More…

They’ve got close to fifty rotating taps of craft beer, mostly regionally sourced, and hundreds of choice bottled brews, safely stowed in refrigerated units. Husband and wife owners Fraggle and Rebecca provide a casual blue 
collar atmosphere with reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and quite passionate and educated about the products they are slinging. For Beer Rev’s second anniversary celebration on Saturday February 4, 2012, the tap lines were cleared from the previous night and we counted 45 rotating taps of some of the best brews anywhere on the West Coast. In fact, many Oregon Read More…
