Today is another big day here at Oak Union! I spent part of my Sunday finalizing a beer finder for our website. I often get asked where our beer is pouring at and I often don't have an adequate answer in real time. But now... we have real time answers to real time questions! You can now search our beer finder page by city, beer, or establishment to see what was sold over the past 45 days to your favorite local watering holes!

Go here: oakunionbrewing.com/beer-finder OR check our profile for a link!

And to make this a little more interesting and exciting, I thought I'd share some trends and statistics with you about Oak Union. The proof is in the beer pudding, as they say... I'm biased, but I think the numbers speak for themselves. We're building something special through time, quality, and consistency.

• We've sold to 346 locations in Oregon.
• 3 out of 4 locations reorder at some point.
• 120 locations have carried 5 or more different brands.
• 48 locations have carried 10 or more brands.
• has carried all 29 beer brands.
• and have carried all of our brands but 5.
• in Klamath Falls is the furthest supporter away from us, at 227 miles away from Milwaukie.
• is our biggest supporter outside of the Portland Metro area.
• We're a Lagerhaus. Lagers pour at over half of the locations we're in.
• We're in 40 new establishments in 2026. Thank you, !
• Shinbatsu Rice Lager is our most popular brand at 166 locations in all.

Whew! We did it. If you made it this far...

Prost! 🍻

Happy First Friday! We have a lot of new people gathering under the Oak, so I thought I'd say hi! I'm Trevor, the shadowy illusive creature in this photo and owner of Oak Union. Nice to meet you, stranger! But, maybe not a stranger for long? Because... this is a picture of a poster that I hung in my own space. A space where we can all hang out and get to know each other and share a pint.

Pretty rad, if you ask me. And, a dream come true!

So, welcome to those of you who are new! And to those who have been here from the beginning and supporting us to this point... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I truly appreciate you! I'm excited to share this next chapter with you all and create a space that welcomes everyone!

We're coming, Milwaukie! Are you ready?

Prost! 🍻

Oak Union will be both TONIGHT and SATURDAY! Tonight will be the start of a multi-day tap takeover leading up to Krampusnacht Milwaukie! Tons of beers and a lot to give away!

Tonight will feature giveaways of new Oak Union shirts and glassware! Krampusnacht will bring an entirely new shirt scheme featuring our Krampus on a tarot card. Both events will feature prizes and giveaways, but will also be available for purchase if you don't land one!

Don't miss tonight, but if you can't make it... clear the calendar for this Saturday! Milwaukie will be doing their annual Umbrella Parade and tree lighting. Krampusnacht will commence right after the tree lighting! Come get your picture taken with Krampus or Santa in Beer Store's heated outdoor tent!

We can't wait to see you over the next couple of days!
