Captured by Porches
is a small, family-owned brewing company located in Saint Helens, Oregon.

Captured by Porches Brewing Company is Dylan & Suzanne Goldsmith. Captured by Porches started around 2002 as an eclectic homebrew club (whose "members" would frequently find themselves captured by our porches, bottle of something special in hand and good times and conversation afoot), and has morphed into the Goldsmith family’s source of income and means of artistic creativity. Once the scourge of our backyard (and kitchen, and basement, and garage, and...), our now eight barrel brewing system is large enough to support us yet small enough to still allow for play and experimentation.

Nearly all of our waste becomes animal feed or compost, or is recycled. Our beers are proudly packaged in reusable containers (and homebrewers seem to delight in not returning the dollar deposit bottles!) Our base malt is local and organic, and our other ingredients are organically grown whenever we can source them locally; we prefer to use locally grown ingredients rather than shipping in organic ones from thousands of miles away.

While we love selling our beer, we frequently support benefits and charities with donations of our fine ales.

Our beers are now available in 750ml (25.4oz) reusable dollar deposit bottles. Click here for where to find them.

Hand-dyed by the brewer in our backyard using our old homebrew kettle, and then printed by Chris at Printed Matter. Bumperstickers are temporarily out, but they were super-fly, double as growler labels, and have been increasingly sighted around town! Created by Nick and Fran at Portland's own Seizure Palace Screen Printing.

Captured by Porches' Invasive Species IPA and Red Emma Amber are now Organic! We were proud to have participated this year for the first time at the North American Organic Brewers Festival, June 26-28 at Overlook Park in Portland.
