Upright Brewing, widely considered among Portland’s very best for the length of its 16 years in business, will stop brewing beer and close its original location by the end of the year, owner Alex Ganum announced this week .

According to Ganum, operations will cease at Upright’s hidden-away brewery at 240 N. Broadway in a couple of months, with most beer expected to run out by the end of the year. The brewery’s Northeast Portland taproom and food cart pod , 7151 N.E. Prescott St., will remain open after a minor rebrand, transitioning to a craft beer bar pouring pints from other breweries.
