BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A
BREWING
50 TH A NNIVERSARY
Continued from Page 1A
He’s in the process of
building up inventory, with
four of his seven brews being
available this weekend. Cus-
tomers will be able to choose
from the Wiley Dry Stout on
Nitro, Slow Rye’d Pale Ale,
The Precipice IPA and Hoppy
Hefe.
Although Multop said
choosing his favorite brew
is like choosing his favorite
child, he personally is most
proud of the Wiley Dry Stout
on Nitro. This Irish Dry Stout
is the perfect option for those
who enjoy dark beers, but not
necessarily hoppy ones.
Multop describes the Slow
Rye’d Pale Ale as a “pretty
easy drinker” due to the rye
malts from Baker City’s own
Gold Rush Malt, a malt-
ing business owned by Tom
Hutchison. The Precipice
IPA isn’t too strong, but has
some bitterness to it. Mul-
top’s wife, Jessica, prefers the
Hoppy Hefe, which Multop
says “meets the needs of both
worlds” with fresh hops from
Hop Heaven, owned by Ted
and Jodi Hausotter of Baker
City, and a mild wheatiness
to make for a cool, refreshing
drink on a hot day.
With Baker City expected to
reach temperatures of nearly
100 degrees this weekend, it’s
probably for the best that this
option is on tap.
North Seven Brewing will
also have on tap a cider from
Baker City’s Rain Barrel
Ciderworks, owned by Mark
Crowder.
Wine and soft drinks are
available, as well.
In addition to beverages,
North Seven Brewing offers
snacks including a party mix,
nuts, kettle chips, popcorn and
pretzels.
Multop also invites people
to bring takeout meals from
Baker City restaurants, or
have food delivered to the
The family of Rick
and Jennifer Holden of
Baker City will celebrate
their 50th wedding an-
niversary on Saturday,

The couple were mar-
ried in Baker City on
June 26, 1971.
The Holdens have

of Baker City and Casey
Holden and his wife,
Kirsten, of Bend. Casey

The interior at North Seven Brewing Co. features olive green walls, mustard yellow
chairs and, over the bar, hanging lights that look like the fl owers of hops, which are
used to give beer its distinctive bite.
“There never is a perfect
brew, but we are striving
for the perfect brew. So
we’ll always be trying
to make tweaks to our
recipes to make it as best
as it can be.”
— Kevin Multop, owner,
North Seven Brewing Co.
taproom, to enjoy with an ale
or other beverage.
The bright and modern
interior space, at the corner of
First Street and Washington
Avenue, has olive green walls
and mustard yellow chairs.
The sleek silver and black bar
area showcases a chalkboard
menu with details about each
brew. There are board games,
posters and plenty of mer-
chandise with the N7 logo.
Multop’s mother-in-law
designed the whole thing
from her home in Belling-
ham, Washington. She will be
traveling to Baker City for the
grand opening.
The brewery goes along
with the “seven” theme, with
seven chairs around one table
and soon-to-be seven brews on
tap, which will rotate once N7
has been up and running for
a while.
The brewery’s name was
inspired by Multop’s favorite
stretch of highway —Highway
7 going north from Austin
Junction to Baker City. He
and his wife have always
thought of Baker City as
their favorite vacation spot in
Oregon, and they moved here
from Bend in the summer of
2019 to start the brewery.
Multop had originally been
shooting to open on Memorial
Day, but the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission approval
took longer than he expected.
The extra time allowed him
to continue honing his brews
and develop deeper connec-
tions with locals. He has spent
the pandemic experimenting
with brews in his garage, call-
ing on friends and family for
taste tests and opinions.
Barley Brown’s Brewery
owner Tyler Brown especially
helped Multop get his feet off
the ground, providing advice
for the business and the
barley malts and hops for the
brews.
“There never is a perfect
brew, but we are striving for
the perfect brew,” Multop said.
“I’ve never made one, but
maybe some brewer out there
has. So we’ll always be trying
to make tweaks to our recipes
to make it as best as it can be.”
