Widmer Brews

In 1984 two brothers followed their dream and opened Widmer Brewery. Their shared passion for craft beer has translated into the production of many delicious European and American style beers. Located in Portland, Widmer Brewery offers a variety of brews including: Nelson Imperial IPA, Pitch Black IPA and their signature unfiltered Hefeweizen.

Widmer Nelson Imperial IPA has a strong hoppy characteristic matched with a hint of sweet malt. This imperial IPA will go well with an assortment of grilled meats. I recommend pairing it alongside a juicy buffalo burger with pepper jack cheese.

Their Pitch Black IPA is brewed with black malt, resulting in a bitter flavor similar to that of a dark stout. This unique beer pairs well with food that can hold its own. It would be perfect to serve with a thick cut of steak or spicy BBQ ribs.

The brothers’ most popular and decorated brew is a traditional Hefeweizen. This unfiltered gem is crisp and refreshing with a slight hint of citrus. It is an exceptional mate for grilled swordfish or Indian food.
