Craft beer in Oregon
The Pacific Northwest hop-forward heartland.
Oregon is hop country. The Willamette Valley is the second-largest US hop-growing region, and Oregon's craft scene has built around ingredient proximity for 40 years. Portland, Bend, and Hood River anchor the geography. The style range runs from old-school West Coast IPA to modern hazy IPA to a lager renaissance led by pFriem and others.
