Assembly Brewing is a brewery and restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
Assembly Brewing is a Black-owned brewery and restaurant in southeast Portland's Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood, near Foster-Powell. The menu includes Detroit-style pizza, sandwiches, salads, cocktails, [1] and seven beers on tap. Pizza varieties include Hawaiian, "meat-lovers" (with pork roll), [2] and "veggie gourmet". [1] In 2019, Andi Prewitt of Willamette Week said the business is "now one of the few minority-owned breweries in the country". [3] Assembly is the first Black-owned brewery in Oregon, according to Portland Monthly's Katherine Chew Hamilton. [4]
The restaurant operates in a renovated 7,500 square-foot space owned by Adam Dixon, which was previously housed a Korean grocery store. [1] The Oregonian's Andre Meunier said, "The exterior sports clean, mid-century lines with a gray and earthy-orange theme. Inside, high ceilings with revealed wooden beams and earth tones create a rustic Portland pub feel, and artisans have crafted metal and wood pieces for the bars and tables." [5] There are four interior murals, one of which was completed by Theo Holdt and inspired by Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals , [6] depicting brewers instead of automotive industry workers. [1] [5] Andy Giegerich of the Portland Business Journal described the artworks as "stunningly detailed". [7] Assembly also has pinball, a covered patio, and a parking lot. Guests must be 21 years of age or older. [8]
Co-founder and brewer George Johnson, originally from Detroit, established the business with Adam Dixon on March 23, 2019. [1] [3]
During Pizza Week in 2021, the restaurant served a pizza called "The D" with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, onions, and green pepper. [9]
Willamette Week's Andi Prewitt said Assembly serves "what might be the most authentic Detroit-style pizza in town". [3] Rachel Pinsky included the restaurant in Eater Portland's 2021 overview of "Where to Find Thick, Cheesy Square Pizzas in Portland". [6]
