Solstice Brewing Company has been operating in Prineville for approximately two months and celebrated their grand opening October 1.
Solstice is a family oriented brewpub established by long-time homebrewer Joe Barker who grew up in La Grande, Oregon, eventually moving to Portland during his college years.
Solstice Brewing Company occupies the former Main Street Saloon located within a block of Pine Theater and the Bowman Museum.
Barker hopes to provide several options that run the full spectrum of beers, all of them born out of his favorite homebrewing recipes.
On www.brewsite.com he said, “We will probably keep about four consistent beers and then have a couple rotations,” he said. “We’ll have a good IPA, we’ll have a good dark beer. We’ve got a couple really nice browns and stouts as well as some real light pale ales — and maybe some lagers.”
