Oregon City boasts quite the craft brew scene for a town of little more than 30,000. Once known as Oregon's first city, it could now be called Oregon's First City In Brewing, as it boasts five breweries, a cider maker and a distillery. Oregon City truly is at the forefront of the maker's culture. It's this culture and philosophy of cooperation, not competition between breweries, that give birth to The HiVe Taphouse.
The HiVe houses Shattered Oak Brewing which focuses on German-inspired beers that are are easy to drink and enjoy, and New Ancients Brewing, which recalls classic beer styles and a warrior spirit of times long gone. The taproom itself has a fun, unique style that could be described as a combination of industrial and steampunk.
Adding to the ambiance is Oregon City's first food cart, The Perky Pantry, open Wednesday through Sundays. Chef Melissa Downs brings a taste of Philly to the area with items like pierogis, beer cheese soup and an authentic delicious Philly cheesesteak.
Find The Hive Taphouse over at 13851 Beavercreek Rd. in Oregon City.
