USA, OR: Thunder Island Brewing Co. to celebrate opening of its new location

Cascade Locks, Oregon’s Thunder Island Brewing Co. will simultaneously celebrate the grand opening of their new location and their 7th anniversary from October 12 to 18th, newschoolbeer.com reported on October 10.

Beloved for their Columbia Riverside location at the Port of Cascade Locks, Thunder Island Brewing has nearly completed their relocation to 601 NW Wa Na Pa St. With some improvements and the full reinstallation of the brewery still in progress, the taproom and restaurant is now open for business from 11 AM to 9 PM seven days a week.

The new 10,000 sq. ft. building has its own on-site parking lot, and two stories accessible from a main street staircase or elevator. On the first floor, Thunder Island is re-installing their 7bbl 2-vessel brewhouse with some new bells and whistles. A waiting area, check-in host station, with merchandise will soon offer cans and growler fills to-go.

On the second level a centerpiece wraparound bar sits near the top of the stairs. The adjacent dining room is open with sightlines down to the brewery and is flanked by six glass roll-up garage doors. A dog friendly second level patio offers a different, but elevated view of the Columbia River, Cascade Mountain Range and Bridge of the Gods.

“We know how special our original location is to our customers, but we can’t wait to welcome them here into our forever home. This year has certainly been a rollercoaster with moving the business in the middle of a pandemic. But the silver lining is that we created a beautiful and breezy dining space in the new restaurant that happens to be COVID-friendly, but also honors the patio experience at the old location.,” says Alanna Womack, longtime employee and Office Manager of Thunder Island Brewing Co.

With the ongoing pandemic in mind and in lieu of their traditional annual “party,” Thunder Island Brewing Co has opted to create in-person and digital opportunities to celebrate over the course of the week by offering “7 Days of Deals” running from Monday October 12th to Sunday October 18th.

The “7 Days of Deals” kick off on Monday October 12, 2020, with a new deal featured each day through the 18th, including a digital deal for those who would like to plan their first visit for a later date.
