Renowned Portland-based brewery Von Ebert has once again demonstrated its mastery in crafting exceptional lagers by securing a prestigious gold medal at the World Beer Cup. The award was granted for their Clubhaus American Light Lager, which is now available year-round in 20-ounce steins at their newly opened North Mississippi location and in cans across all their establishments. This victory marks the brewery's third consecutive medal win at the World Beer Cup, further solidifying their reputation as innovators in the brewing industry.

The journey of Von Ebert Brewing exemplifies a blend of traditional techniques and modern innovation. Established in 2018 by Tom M. Cook and Tom S. Cook, the brewery honors its namesake, Grandma Ebert, who emigrated from Germany to America through Ellis Island. Her resilience and determination have inspired the brewery’s ethos, evident in their commitment to quality and creativity. Brewmaster Sam Pecoraro highlighted the significance of this award, emphasizing the brewery's dedication to producing beers that bridge tradition and evolution.

This latest accolade adds to an impressive list of achievements for Von Ebert Brewing. Their previous wins include a gold medal in 2023 for their German-style Pilsner and a bronze in 2024 for their Vienna Lager. The expansion of their production capacity to up to 20,000 barrels per year allows them to offer more varieties in cans, such as their NW IPA and Hazy IPA. Additionally, seasonal offerings and collaborations will be featured on draft and in larger cans at their new location.

Beyond just medals, Von Ebert Brewing stands as a testament to the power of heritage and innovation. By expanding their distribution and offering a diverse range of products, they continue to captivate beer enthusiasts with their unique approach. The brewery not only celebrates Grandma Ebert's legacy but also contributes significantly to the vibrant craft beer scene in Oregon and beyond.
