Expansion Starting in 1865 a series of industrial buildings were built, including a nine-story Brewhouse. City Brewery expanded and outpaced its competitors. In the late 1860s Henry Weinhard’s lager became famous throughout Northwest saloons, with sales in Montana, Seattle and California. With Portland established as a seaport, Weinhard sales extended to China, The Philippines, Japan and Siberia.

Brewery Founded The story began in 1856 when German-born Henry Weinhard (1830- 1904) arrived in the Portland-Vancouver area from Cincinnati, where he had worked in local breweries. He decided Ft. Vancouver was a good place for the brewery business because of its proximity to a reliable market – soldiers.

Later that year he moved to Portland and became a business partner with George Bottler, establishing Portland’s second brewery at the corner of Northwest Couch Street and First Avenue.

Weinhard Dies, Blitz Arrives Weinhard died in 1904 and the business passed down to his sons-in-law, Paul Wessinger and Henry Wagner. Weinhard’s death was prominently displayed on the front page of “The Oregonian” on Sept. 5, 1904.

Two red-brick buildings on Northwest 12th between West Burnside and Northwest Couch were completed in 1908 to serve as the Brewhouse and the malt and hop building. They stand today as the oldest parts of the brewery complex. They were designed by Whidden and Lewis, the architects responsible for Portland City Hall (1895) and many other important early 20th Century buildings in Portland.

1929 Auto Dealership Constructed Weinhard’s old nine-story Malt House between 12th and 13th on West Burnside was torn down in 1928 to make way for construction of an auto garage. The building later became an auto dealership – A. B. Smith Chevrolet was one of its occupants. The garage later became part of the brewery.

Blitz-Weinhard Brewery Closed

Although profitable, Stroh sold the Henry Weinhard brand to Miller Brewing Co., which transferred production to the Olympia brewery in Tumwater, Wash. Miller says it will continue brewing Henry’s in the Northwest for Northwesterners.

Redevelopment proposed In January 2000, the complex was purchased by Gerding Edlen, a Portland development firm, which promised to preserve the historic buildings as it redeveloped the land as a mixed use development of office, retail, and residential buildings.
