The beer made in Stevenson is shipped to the Carson taproom, at 1162 Wind River Highway, about 5 miles upstream. Backwoods ships its beer to the Portland pub, but due to state laws, it must sell its beer to a distributor and buy it back after crossing the border.
That cuts about $60 off the bottom line of each barrel, he said.
“The first time I cut a check to (the distributor) for our own beer, I was like, man, this hurts,” Steve Waters said.
But for the most part, the expansion to Portland was worth it, he said.
The success has prompted the company to expand more, but this time into the catering business: Waters said Backwoods will soon be offering a traveling smoker that can go to various events in the Gorge. Backwoods beer, of course, will be on tap from a truck, too.
“The Gorge has a lot of weddings and big events,” Steve said. “I think having a Backwoods cart rolling around, smoking pizzas, smoking meat and serving beers out of the truck, too — I think people would be really excited about that,” he said.
Next year, Backwoods also will be distributing a rotating IPA that will swap every two months on the shelves of local grocery stores and the taps in pubs and bottle shops around Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
