Eastside Distilling

Portland, OR, US • 50 - 99 Employees
Food Processing

A once small, sleepy rum importer founded in 2008 and tucked away on Portland's celebrated distillery row is now the country's first and only publicly traded craft distillery; NASDAQ: EAST. Over 12 years, we have developed, matured, perfected, or acquired then launched many award-winning spirits while evolving to meet the growing demand for quality products and services associated with the burgeoning craft and premium beverage trade. Our portfolio includes originals like the Quercus Garryana barrel-finished Burnside Whiskey family, Hue-Hue Cold Brewed Coffee Rum, and Azuñia Organic Tequilas. Our mission is to bring premium beverages to the masses, not the few.EXPANDING OUR CRAFT FOOTPRINT - THE BIG PICTURE In addition to our passion projects within the Eastside family of brands, we have strategically enhanced our capabilities to bring new and trending products to the market with the acquisitions of Big Bottom Distilling, Motherlode Bottling Services, Craft Canning + Bottling and Azuñia Tequila, from Intersect Beverage. Each of these subsidiaries functions as an aid to our mission. Specializing in batch and bulk distillation, Big Bottom Distilling excels in the artistry of spirit design with accolades amassed for quality and taste. Relocating to Motherlode's co-packing facilities in 2017 maximized the efficiencies of our operations and significantly decreased overhead. Craft Canning brings years of expertise to the business with their team of professional bottlers and operators. Serving Oregon, Washington, and Colorado, they are the West's premier source for contract packaging. Increasing our stake in others who share the same ideals and passion for what they do as we do has been tremendously rewarding to the company. Our greatest asset is the talented folks that we've picked up along the way. Without them, there would be no Eastside.
