Description

Early Oregon fur traders concocted one of those distilled beverage referred to as “Blue Ruin,” utilized in commerce with local Native Americans. Drawn by the abundant summer harvests of the Willamette Valley, distillers put down roots within the nineteenth century. As a result of Oregon’s early sunset on legal liquor production in 1916–four years before national Prohibition–hundreds of illicit stills popped up around the state. Residents of Portland remained well supplied, way to the infamous efforts of Mayor George Baker. The failed national experiment ended in 1933, and Hood River Distillers resurrected the practical enterprise of turning surplus fruit into brandy in 1934. Thanks in part to the renowned Clear Creek Distillery triggering a craft distilling movement in 1985, the state now boasts seventy distilleries and counting. Creator Scott Stursa leads a journey in the course of the history of distilling within the Beaver State.
