Zoiglhaus Brewing Company

What Zoiglhaus Brewing Company does

Zoiglhaus Brewing Company is a privately-held craft brewery and German-style restaurant founded in 2015 in Southeast Portland, Oregon, operating a single taproom and dining destination at 5716 SE 92nd Ave., Portland, OR 97266, open daily 12pm-9:30pm. The company brews traditional German-style beers using imported German malts, hops, and yeast in stainless steel fermentation tanks, with select beers aged in bourbon oak barrels; its portfolio includes five year-round SKUs (Zoigl-Pils, Zoigl-Weiss, Zoigl-IPA, Zoigl-Hell, Zoigl-Black, and the newer Petite Pilsner) and a rotating seasonal lineup that includes Fresh Hop Kölsch, Fresh Hop Super Pils 2.0, Oktoberfresh, Oregon Homegrown Lager, Himalayan Pilsner, Platinum Circle Summer Lager, and Zoigl-Kölsch.

The business is built around the centuries-old Bavarian Zoigl tradition — a community brewhouse culture symbolized by the six-pointed Zoigl star — and extends its physical venue into The Zed, a co-located food and beverage hub housing nine independent global cuisine vendor concepts (Cuban, Venezuelan, Thai, Nepalese, Turkish, Hawaiian, Indian, Mexican, and a cocktail lounge). Revenue is generated through on-site taproom beer sales, a German food menu (jägerschnitzel, schnitzel, bratwurst, goulash, house-made sauerkraut, Bavarian pretzel), complementary revenue from The Zed food hall vendors, and off-premise keg distribution processed through a Google Form. Marketing relies on organic Instagram and Facebook presence, website content, and annual community events including Zoiglfest and the 2025 "10 Years of Beer" anniversary celebration, with no paid advertising channels disclosed.
