One of my favorite breweries in Eugene, Oregon. The location isn't in the best part of the city, but that area has improved along way. Ninkasi is a pinnacle in the Eugene area and Western Oregon beer lovers community. It's a really cool looking modern atmosphere with open stone fire pits fueled by gas. Tasting room is small with a dozen or so seats, which is ok because there is ample seating outside. No food served by them, but a food cart is right next it and one is also across the street. Good food. The tap selection is always changing with seasonal beers which keeps interest in return visits to taste them on draft. They also keep their staple beers always on tap (Total Domination etc.). Cleanliness is well maintained, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful to those who are new to tasting craft beers and those who want something different. They'll let you sample anything before buying. Great company! Locally Owned! Good people! A must for any Eugene visit or brew tour.

Came here in mid September with a friend who was a Eugene Restauranteur. Enjoyed the beer tremendously. Liked the outdoor seating but the fire could've been warmer.

Very nice place but wish they sold bottles. Growler prices are reasonable.

A must-visit when visiting Eugene. Unless you're a local... then you can go any time you please.

Very busy tasting room on a Friday afternoon. Still, great service. Tasty flight, and I really liked the tasting cards for each beer. Eclectic vibe with college kids and older folks, all enjoying beer in the sunshine.

Stopped by for a quick sampling, the beer was good, but the place seems to be lacking character, I mean they are trying to build character but it seemed forced to me.

Got the grand tour from a BA buddy, this place is huge! They have like, 5 blocks of buildings, and growing.
The tasting room is real nice, plenty of merch, nice selection for you to choose your beers from.
Great outdoors area for kicking back and enjoying some Tricerahops on the weekend.
