Captured by Porches Brewing Company is Dylan & Suzanne Goldsmith. Captured by Porches started around 2002 as an eclectic homebrew club (whose "members" would frequently find themselves captured by our porches, bottle of something special in hand and good times and conversation afoot), and has morphed into the Goldsmith family’s source of income and means of artistic creativity. Once the scourge of our backyard (and kitchen, and basement, and garage, and...), our now eight barrel brewing system is large enough to support us yet small enough to still allow for play and experimentation.

Nearly all of our waste becomes animal feed or compost, or is recycled. Our beers are proudly packaged in reusable containers (and homebrewers seem to delight in not returning the dollar deposit bottles!) Our base malt is local and organic, and our other ingredients are organically grown whenever we can source them locally; we prefer to use locally grown ingredients rather than shipping in organic ones from thousands of miles away.

While we love selling our beer, we also enjoy donating it to charities and benefits. For more information, contact Suzanne at 971-207-3742 or email info@capturedbyporches.com

Our beers are now available in 750ml (25.4oz) and 500 ml (16.9oz) reusable dollar deposit bottles. While the larger bottle is perfect for "beer to go" purchases, the smaller size is perfect for restaurants and bars. Click here for where to find them.
