1999 to Now: 25 Years of Craft Evolution
25 years in the making, and we’ve grown into something more than just a bottle shop—we’ve built a community powered by craft, curiosity, and connection. What started with a passion for craft beer in 1999 has evolved into the widest selection of craft beverages, from wines and ciders to meads and non-alcoholic options today.
Because for us, “craft” knows no boundaries.
It’s curiosity that drives us—to explore, to taste, and to bring you hidden gems from the nano artisan to the global innovators. Our goal is that when you walk through our doors, you feel like you’re stepping into a carefully curated world of discovery—where every drink has a story, and your next pour becomes more than just a beverage—it becomes an experience.
At the core of everything we do is our community—the people we serve and the craft producers we champion.
For 25 years, craft + curiosity + community has been at the heart of what we do.
Because here, your thirst is our craft.

GREAT NOTION BREWING - Beaverton, OR
We’re featuring Great Notion Brewing this Friday at Multnomah, a powerhouse in the craft beer scene, known for their creative, boundary-pushing flavors that’ll knock your socks off.
From their juicy, hazy IPAs to their wild barrel-aged sours, Great Notion has something for everyone. Their beers are brewed with passion and artistry, each one a perfect blend of bold flavors and innovative techniques.
SOBER CARPENTER - Montreal, Quebec
Sober Carpenter has quickly become one of the top names in non-alcoholic brewing over the past few years. Known for their award-winning Red Ale and Belgian Wit, they’ve also started experimenting with exciting new flavors like this Raspberry Sour and an Artisanal Cidre. Join us this Wednesday at the Powell shop for a sampling. See you there!
THRESHOLD BREWING – Portland, Oregon
Known for their bold experimentation, Jarek and Sara put out really cool & fresh brews. Their ability to blend creativity with quality has made them a favorite here in Portland. If you haven’t experienced their award-winning brews yet, now’s the perfect time to stop by this Thursday at Powell and try ‘em!
VICTOR 23 BREWING - Vancouver, WA
We’re proud to feature Victor-23 Craft Brewery, a rising star from Vancouver, WA! They recently made waves at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) by taking home two prestigious medals. Their Parachute Pivo, a Bohemian-Style Pilsener, earned a bronze medal, while their Co-Conspirator, a German-Style Doppelbock, took home silver. These awards highlight their commitment to producing exceptional, flavorful beers that stand out on the national stage.
ST AGRESTIS - Amoro Falso + Phony Espresso Negroni
A Brooklyn-based distillery known for producing high-quality Italian-style amaro and cocktail alternatives. Two standout products from their lineup are the Amaro with herbal bitterness that is well-integrated with citrus and spice and the Phony Negroni which replicates the bittersweet complexity of a traditional Negroni, with the same familiar flavors of juniper, bitter orange, and herbal bitterness.
2010 LOPEZ de HEREDIA VINA TONDONIA RESERVA
This beauty from Rioja is a traditional, expertly crafted wine with medium cherry red hues that catch the eye. On the nose, you'll get inviting aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate, and a touch of herbs de Provence. But the real magic happens on the palate: think juicy cranberry, savory olive tapenade, and a hint of caramel, all balanced by vigorous tannins and a bright, refreshing acidity. This wine is built to age, but if you can’t wait, open it tonight! A value at $67.99! 13.00% ABV
