Stickmen Brewing Company

What Stickmen Brewing Company does

Stickmen Brewing Company is a privately held Oregon craft brewery founded in 2012 and headquartered in Tualatin. The company operates a hybrid production-and-hospitality model: the Tualatin facility is its primary production brewery and largest beer hall, while Happy Valley (opened 2020) and McMinnville (opened 2019) function as additional taproom locations serving the Portland metro and Willamette Valley. Stickmen produces a diverse portfolio of approximately 18+ active beers spanning West Coast IPAs, hazy IPAs, cold IPAs, German-style Pilsner, Japanese-style rice lager, Mexican-style lager, farmhouse ales, gose-style sours, foeder sours aged 2+ years, whiskey and wine barrel-aged releases, a nitro coffee porter, and fruit-infused specialties such as Pink Guava Kölsch and Saison Du Pinot Noir (co-fermented with Oregon Pinot Noir juice from Compris Vineyard). Technical differentiators include an extensive multi-year barrel-aging program and use of experimental fermentation inputs such as Kveiking yeast for Nordic IPAs.

The business model combines four transaction-based revenue streams: on-premise taproom sales (draft beer, wood-fired pizzas, salads, sandwiches, cocktails, wine, mocktails), packaged beer retail (4-packs, 6-packs, 19.2oz cans, 500ml and 750ml bottles) sold at taprooms and via dock pickup, wholesale keg and dock sales in full/quarter/pony sizes with a $100 refundable deposit, and private event hosting with venue capacity of 20–250 guests across locations. Distribution is currently self-distributed in the Portland metro via the Self Distro Collective platform and direct dock pickup, with explicit intent to expand wholesale distribution partnerships into California and Washington. Each taproom layers differentiated entertainment — axe throwing and rage rooms via Celtic Axe Throwers at Tualatin, arcade games at Happy Valley and Tualatin, wine and cocktails at McMinnville and Happy Valley — alongside recurring weekly programming (trivia, bingo, live music) and seasonal events such as 5K fun runs, Oktoberfest, and Winter Brewfest. Pricing is positioned at a craft-premium level: pints and wood-fired pizzas with $1-off happy hour (Mon–Fri 2–5pm), $16 lunch specials, packaged beer from $11.99 (6-packs) to $14.99 (750ml barrel-aged bottles), and kegs at $125–$300 depending on size. Stickmen is founder/operator managed, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, patents, or app presence.
