According to a recent article from New School Beer, pFriem Family Brewers will open in the Milwaukie City Hall at 10722 SE Main Street.
A representative of pFriem Family Brewers was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
According to the article, the new Milwaukie location for pFriem is slated to open in April of 2025. “The city of Milwaukie selected Henry Point Development to head up the project, who in turn partnered with woman-owned contracting business Angie G LLC and designers Brett Schulz Architect. The building’s façade will be kept intact, while the interior is renovated for commercial use.”
“Recent winners of bronze, silver, and gold medals at the 2023 Great American Beer Festival, pFriem is focused on American and European beer styles but has never been timid in attempting just about any style of beer. pFriem cans are notable for their flat easily identifiable colors and intricate gold logo that resembles a Belgian-style design filtered through a Pacific Northwest lens.”
“The brand will shine through in their upcoming taproom and restaurant in the historic Milwaukie City Hall building, slated to open in April 2025, and will attempt to replicate their success as the four-time winner for “Best Brewpub Experience” at the Oregon Beer Awards.”
“But it won’t just be a direct port over of the same program as Hood River, the new pFriem Milwaukie taproom is housed partially in the former fire station of the historic City Hall building, and will have a grassy beer garden, a more urban pub food menu, and their first foray into cocktails.”
“Since we have a fresh start so to speak, in Milwaukie, we thought it would be fun to explore a couple of new things to offer that we don’t offer in Hood River,” says Josh Pfriem in the New School Beer article.
“We love our cocktails and have always thought that having a limited selection of cocktails would be a fun way to complement our beer, cider, and wine selection. The Milwaukie location is certainly more urban in feeling compared to our spot in Hood River, and I think that lends itself to more urban touches, such as cocktails, and a more urban spin on our food menu.”
