EUGENE, OR – Oakshire Brewing is excited to announce its third taproom, Oakshire Commons, will now open in a vibrant new location in Downtown Springfield. Originally planned for The Rivett Building, the taproom will now be located just four doors down at 416 Main St. in the space formerly occupied by The Pedaler. This bar and restaurant location has been a cherished part of the community and Oakshire Commons will continue creating a welcoming space for connection and craft in the heart of Springfield.
“Downtown Springfield is a special place for Oakshire and for me personally,” said Kiley Gwynn, Oakshire’s Director of Marketing and a proud Springfield resident. “We’re excited to be part of the vibrant and growing community here, and we look forward to contributing to the culture and connections that make Downtown Springfield so unique.”
The Oakshire Commons will bring together the best features of Oakshire’s current locations: the Public House in Eugene and the Beer Hall in NE Portland. It will feature Oakshire’s award-winning beers, Detroit-style pizza, and morning coffee hours, creating a welcoming gathering place for the community to enjoy at any time of day.
“We’re as committed as ever to making this space a hub for connection and creativity,” said Oakshire Founder and CEO, Jeff Althouse. “Oakshire Commons will feel both fresh and familiar, blending the craftsmanship of our beers with the warmth of community in Downtown Springfield.” Designed to complement Springfield’s rich culinary and social scene, Oakshire Commons will welcome
outside food, encouraging visitors to enjoy fare from the neighboring food carts and local favorites. Its coffee service and Detroit-style pizza will establish the Commons as a daytime destination for locals and visitors alike.
The new location will also host Oakshire Inspires events, continuing the brewery’s commitment to giving back to the community. To celebrate the opening, Oakshire Commons will host an extra special grand opening party benefitting the McKenzie Community and Land Trust and its efforts supporting the recovery from the Holiday Farm Fire, furthering Oakshire’s mission of supporting meaningful causes in the region.
Megan Gallbraith, Oakshire’s Taproom Director, emphasized the importance of community in shaping this new space: “We’re excited to bring the Oakshire experience to Springfield. Our taprooms are about more than just beer—they’re about creating welcoming spaces where people can gather, relax, and share memorable moments. It’s a chance to deepen our roots and be part of this incredible revitalization story.”
Oakshire Commons will open in early 2025. Stay tuned for updates as the team works to bring this exciting new chapter to life in the heart of Springfield.
