WHAT THE HELL IS A BAERLIC?
Since 2014 we’ve been head down hustlin’ the suds out of our original southeast Portland brewery and self-distributing it throughout Oregon and Washington. What started as a couple of guys and a homebrew kit is now a tour de force of beer lovers across our brewery, front-of-house, sales and self-distribution operations.
Born out of an undying passion for the perfect pint of beer, Baerlic Brewing Company is a collaborative entity created by us, Ben Parsons and Richard Hall in 2014. After years of brewing on the small scale in a basement and winning numerous awards in amateur competitions all over the region, we decided that we should finally give in to the voices in our heads and move toward a small scale production brewery and taproom.
When we say The Beer Here Is Near And Dear, we mean it. We strive to work in as close a proximity as possible for all our ingredients, materials, vendors, supplies, and suppliers. And that allows us to absolutely love the beer that we brew.

DENIM VEST FRIDAY
We don’t know about you, but on Fridays our crew hangs tuff and gets all fancied up in our favorite Denim Vests to celebrate DENIM VEST FRIDAY!! Kind of like casual Friday, but actually casual…amiright? This open to all weekly holiday is for the people, by the people! Just get a denim vest and get down to Baerlic for a beer (or two) on Fridays.
Cheers and #tgidvf!
