THE END OF AN ERA
After 108 years of serving brewers and makers of many types F.H. Steinbart Company, America’s oldest homebrew supply store, will be closing its doors in December 2025.
We have found a way to keep the doors open at least till the end of February 2026. Come on in an keep supporting this local institution.
We are profoundly grateful for the generations of customers, employees, and friends who made this place more than a shop. You’ve shared ideas, stories, and beers across a century of brewing history, and that community is what kept us going.
From hand-cranked grain mills to stainless conicals, from prohibition to Portland’s craft beer boom, we’ve been part of every chapter. And so have you all...
A CENTURY OF CRAFTMANSHIP
F.H. Steinbart has always been more than a store. It’s been a hub for creativity, curiosity, and connection. A place where anyone could learn, experiment, and share what they loved.
For over a century, our mission stayed the same: to give every brewer, winemaker, and fermenter the knowledge and tools to craft something extraordinary.
