Migration Brewing is the Official Beer Provider for Portland Saturday Market

March 23, 2023 by Spencer Mapes

PORTLAND, Oregon— Migration Brewing has opened an outdoor beer garden at the Portland Saturday Market for the third year running. As one of Oregon’s most popular tourist attractions, and the nation’s largest open-air market, the weekly event has up to 1 million annual visitors. Located on the downtown waterfront at 2 SW Natio Parkway, the local brewery will be serving up fresh, award-winning draft beer plus plenty of packaged beverage options every Saturday, starting on March 4th. The beer garden is open weekly on Saturday 11 am – 5 pm from March through December.

The project is part Migration’s pop-up program that focuses on fun, versatile craft beer experiences. “We’re really excited to be working with Saturday Market again at one of the most quintessential Portland experiences,” explains company CEO, McKean Banzer-Lausberg. “The partnership has gotten stronger every year and we look forward to a successful 2023,” states Banzer-Lausberg.

The Portland Saturday Market was founded in 1974 by Sheri Teasdale and Andrea Scharf and has since evolved into a premier maker’s market. Boasting over 180 permanent vendor stalls, the Saturday Market has 400 artists participating every year. Migration will be the sole beer vendor and will have plenty of room for people to enjoy craft beer while supporting local artists and taking in the waterfront views.

Migration Brewing Announces Maple Barleywine Release

March 8, 2023 by Spencer Mapes

PORTLAND, Oregon – Migration Brewing will be releasing their Maple Coronet barley wine to the market on Friday, March 3rd. This unique American barley wine is the latest limited release from the company’s burgeoning Migrator barrel aged series. The brewery partnered up with Glenna Farms out of Amery, Wisconsin to secure the organic maple syrup. Aged for six months on Heaven Hill bourbon barrels; the rich, decadent beer will be available in 500ml bottles at local specialty shops around the Portland metro area. The beer will also be available on draft and in bottles at all Migration pubs.

“We were super stoked to work with Glenna Farms on this project. They produce some of the finest organic syrup in Wisconsin and the bourbon barrels are exceptional,” said Mike Branes, Co-Founder and Head Brewer at Migration Brewing. “We’ve been pushing the brewery team to work with a wide variety of ingredients and this beer really came together over a ton of excitement to approach a classic American barleywine differently,” notes Branes.

The Maple Coronet barley wine is brewed to be a complex, and slightly sweet early springtime treat. Coming in at 11% ABV the beer is crafted on a foundation of fine English Maris Otter malt which brings a nutty richness and full roundness to the beer. Three different types of caramel malts exhibit toffee and tones of cherry, plum and raisin. Maple syrup was added during the run-off of the wort, as well as during fermentation, to provide extra sugars. The maple sweetness is not overpowering and integrates into the beer without being cloyingly sweet.

Glenna Farms was established in 1995when Rick and Kristine Glenna purchased an 80-acre maple syrup operation from Arthur V. Olson. The century old sugar bush is located next to a dairy farm, was well known for producing one of nature’s finest sweeteners, pure maple syrup.
