Upright Brewing’s name is a reference to musician Charles Mingus, with the company taking its brewing philosophy from the musician’s defiance of style and classification. The brewery is located within the basement of Portland’s historic Leftbank building and is open to the public Thursdays through Sundays for drafts, tastings, and to-go sales. Year-round brews include the brewery’s Saison Vert, Supercool IPA, Engelberg Pilsener, Pathways Saison, and tasting room exclusive Four Play. Many beers are open fermented and bottle conditioned, including small-batch seasonal beers available in limited release. Live music is showcased most Sundays, and artwork from local Portland artisans is on display throughout the taproom.
