March 20th, 2025 – Milwaukie, Oregon – The time has come, pFriem Family Brewers is thrilled to announce the Grand Opening on April 7th of its new tasting room in Milwaukie, Oregon, located in the Historic Milwaukie City Hall building.

A New Chapter for pFriem in Milwaukie

“We’re beyond excited to finally open our doors in Milwaukie,” says Josh Pfriem, Brewmaster and Co-Founder of pFriem Family Brewers. “This community has welcomed us with open arms, and we can’t wait to share this space with our friends, neighbors, and beer lovers. We’ve put a lot of thought into creating a warm, inviting gathering place, and we hope it becomes a hub for great beer, great food, and even better company.”

Housed in the former fire station and city administration sections of the historic Milwaukie City Hall, the new pFriem Milwaukie tasting room offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern craft beer culture. Visitors can expect:

• Three bars with 20+ taps pouring pFriem’s celebrated core beers, seasonal releases, and exclusive small-batch offerings.
• Five handcrafted pFriem specialty craft cocktails and Son of Man cider on draft.
• A spacious outdoor patio with a pergola-covered seating area.
• An upstairs event space for future brewery events, tastings, and community gatherings.
• A cozy retail and bar area inspired by pFriem’s beloved Bear’s Den in Hood River, complete with a piece of original art reflecting the surrounding area.
• A thoughtfully curated food menu to complement pFriem’s beer lineup.

“It’s been so great to work with the pFriem team, along with Keeper Coffee and Henry Point Development, through this entire, transformative project,” says Joseph Briglio, Assistant City Manager for Milwaukie, “pFriem is known for their excellence in brewing and hospitality, and we are so fortunate to have them as part of our downtown.”

“Milwaukie has seen a lot of nice new developments in recent months including parks, housing, and businesses, “said Mayor Lisa Batey. “But nothing seems to get Milwaukians quite as excited as the news of pFriem’s opening in our Historic City Hall. We are so happy to welcome pFriem! I am sure they will instantly become a beloved community gathering space!”

Exclusive Collaboration Beers – A Toast to Milwaukie!

To commemorate the occasion, pFriem has joined forces with two Portland brewing legends, Von Ebert and Breakside Brewing, and new building neighbor, Keeper Coffee, to create three exclusive collaboration beers, crafted as a toast to the area’s vibrant beer culture.

“These beers are more than just a collaboration—they’re a celebration,” says Josh Pfriem. “We wanted to raise a glass to Milwaukie, and there’s no better way to do that than brewing with our good friends at Von Ebert and Breakside, two of Portland’s finest breweries. Each of these beers showcases the creativity and passion that make Oregon’s craft beer scene so special. We are also excited to share space with our new neighbors Keeper Coffee. We brewed a beer with them that gives a nod to their finely crafted baked goods and their excitement for Belgian beer.”

pFriem + Breakside New Zealand IPA

This unique IPA was born from a shared passion for innovative brewing and a desire to create something truly special for the occasion of opening up our new Tasting Room. Combining expertise, we’ve carefully selected a blend of hops known for their vibrant tropical fruit character, to rest upon a light and dry malt bill that adds just a touch of sweetness from the use of rice. All resulting in a refreshing and flavorful beer that perfectly captures the celebratory spirit. 

pFriem + Von Ebert West Coast IPA

This expressive West Coast IPA features American-grown hops carefully selected to mimic the tropical character of New Zealand varieties. Brewed with Mosaic, Krush, and Strata hops, this beer delivers bursting aromas of ripe peach, passionfruit, guava, and a touch of mango, all wrapped up in a dry, crushable finish.

pFriem + Keeper Coffee Belgian Strong Dark

We joined forces with new neighbors and friends at Keeper Coffee for a fun twist on the classic style. After a clean fermentation of our traditional Belgian Strong Dark this beer was recirculated on a coffee bean from Antonio Medina in Guatemala and roasted to a medium-dark level by White Label Coffee Club. In addition, paying homage to Keeper Coffee’s pastry mastery, we also included orange peel to help harmonize the flavors. Expect notes of coffee, graham cracker, baker’s chocolate and an integrated orange spice.
