About Us
About Jason Webb:
I started home brewing with my brother in 1991. My mother is from England so we went over to visit relatives with our family. My mom's dad home brewed in his back yard for 40 years and it inspired my brother and I to dive straight into all grain 10 gal. batches. In 1993 I got a tour at Saxer Brewing Co. I met the brewmaster Tony Gomes and I gave him some home brew and he was impressed. I got called in and he decided to hire me! He has a five year Brewmasters degree from Domins in Munich Germany. So, I worked with him for 6 years as brewer and cellar man. We sat in the morning for 30-45 minutes a day and he taught me the science of brewing. I have worked for several Northwest breweries since then:
- Saxer Brewing, Portland, OR
- Portland Brewing, Portland, OR
- Mac and Jacks, Redmond, WA
- Cascade Lakes Brewing, Redmond, OR
- Silver-Moon Brewing, Bend, OR
- Light House McMenamins, Lincoln City, OR
- Fanno Creek Brew Pub, Tigard, OR
Granddad Joe Webb:
It all started with Granddad Joe Webb. He was the proprietor of the Bricklayer Arms Pub in Tottenham, England. The love of beer, brewing and hospitality have a clear genetic precursor in this patriarch of the Webb clan.
The Bricklayer Arms had a dart board, a card school in the snug and a fruit machine by the door, and Joe would say a pub without a game in it is just a shop that sells beer. That is the spirit behind our Pub Games pages and Thursday poker night: the games are part of the hospitality, and so is knowing when to call it a night.
