Oregon Breweries History: Oregon Ale & Beer Oregon Ale & Beer is actually owned by Sam Adams and the beer is brewed in Ohio and not Oregon. The name was created to grab the cache of the Oregon beer scene. For awhile, Oregon Ale had their beer brewed (along with all of Sam Adams on the West Coast) at the mega Blitz/Henry Weinhard Brewery in Portland (not at a microbrewery). The Blitz/Henry Weinhard Brewery is no longer in operation so Oregon Ale is now brewed in Ohio. Oregon Ale is certainly not the only company to do this - many "microbrews" are, in fact, brewed by big houses like Minnesota Brewing - but it is somewhat unique amongst Oregon microbrews, many of which are brewed in house.
