Plan your next Beercation in Oregon. Betcha didn’t know that was a thing but it sure is here in Oregon. February is Oregon Craft Beer Month.
Oregon is a premier U.S. craft beer hub, producing nearly 900,000 barrels annually with over 280+ breweries as of 2018, ranking 7th in the nation. Oregon is home to the Pink Boots Society, founded in 2007 to supporting women & non-binary individuals in the rapidly growing fermented & alcoholic beverage industry.
Immigrants began to move into Oregon Territory in the 1840’s. German brewer Henry Saxer arrived in 1852, tasted the clear, soft water and recognized the prime hop and grain potential. He, along with fellow immigrant Henry Weinhard, began brewing and the rest is history.
Named after the “zwickel,” a German word for the sample port found on fermentation vessels, Zwickelmania® is an annual celebration of craft beer in Oregon, statewide Saturday, February 21, 2026. Check out the site to see a list of breweries, which will continue to be updated. Zwickelmania®
