There’s Plenty Brewing in Grants Pass
The art of brewing has been a long-held tradition in Southern Oregon. Since the first hops were planted in 1875 & the original brewery opened its doors in 1886, Grants Pass has cultivated quite the growing beer scene. Not only that, but the region is now home to multiple distilleries and cideries. For those pining for craft beer & cocktails, take a distillery or brewery tour, book a river trip on the Paddled Pub, and enjoy dinner and hand-crafted libations in downtown Grants Pass.

They currently have 13 of their own brews on tap as well as ciders and wine. Looking for something non-alcoholic?
