Oregon – Law proposed to allow breweries at Oregon hop farms

Senate Bill 287 would allow a “farm brewery” to brew up to 150,000 barrels of malt beverage on a hop farm of at least 25 contiguous acres.

SALEM, Oregon — A legislative work session Tuesday afternoon at the capitol continues efforts to allow hop growers to build breweries on land they own or lease. Senate Bill 287 would allow a “farm brewery” to brew up to 150,000 barrels of malt beverage on a hop farm of at least 25 contiguous acres. There may be kitchen facilities for agri-tourism, charitable and commercial events, not to exceed 18 days a year and each event approved and monitored by a local government. It allows for a bed-and-breakfast but no ongoing restaurant operations.
