Cyclical patterns are an
important part of life. They
appear in the seasons, politics,
history and the brewing
industry.
The brewing industry?
Jim West, owner of West
Bros. BBQ and Eugene City
Brewery, said the current brew
pub craze is only a repeat of
a typical occurrence 100 years
ago.
“Early settlers built
breweries everywhere," West
said. “They were usually
called city breweries. There
was a Roseburg City Brewery,
o Pori land City Brewery, on
and on."
The Eugene City Brewery
was established in 1866, West
said.
In those days, it was too
expensive to ship a heavy
product like beer, so each
town needed a brew pub. he
said. "Beer was just as popular
then, if not more so," ha said.
"A town of any size would
have its own brewery."
Henry Welnhard was the
last owner of the Eugene City
Brewery before West.
Weinhard bought the brewery
to use it as a depot to sell
Weinhard's beer in Eugene.
West said. He needed the
brewery as an icehouse. Ice
was used both to store the
beer and in the fermentation
of lagers. West said.
Weinhard closed the
