McKenzie Brewing

McKenzie River Brewing Company is an award-winning craft brewery established in 1991 in Eugene, Oregon. The company specializes in producing high-quality craft beers using the purest water from the McKenzie River as their main ingredient. With over 40 medals and counting, they have built a reputation for excellence in the craft beer industry. The brewery operates with small batch production methods, allowing them to craft perfectly balanced beers every time. Their flagship products include Hopasaurus Rex Double IPA (100+ IBU/9.5% ABV), Raging Rhino Red Ale (35 IBU/5.4% ABV), Twisted Meniscus IPA (65 IBU/6.3% ABV), and Hazy IPA (50 IBU/6.3% ABV). In summer 2024, McKenzie River Brewing was acquired by Urban Restaurant Group, a locally owned restaurant group that operates multiple establishments including BRIX Tavern, Gordon Tavern, Carlita's Rooftop, and 86 Speakeasy. The company operates a tasting room located at 590 Pearl Street Suite 107 in Eugene's 5th Street Marketplace, open daily from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., welcoming all ages. They offer private tasting experiences for up to 15 guests, including beer sampling, snacks, and brewery tours led by their brew master Mike. The brewery serves the Pacific Northwest craft beer market and has established itself as a staple of Eugene's brewery scene since its founding.
