Final Draft Taphouse has New Ownership I Craft Beer Vancouver Wa.

Hey Beer Friends…

 We have a big, exciting announcement to share with you.

 After 8 years of building and loving on craft and this community we’ve decided it's time for Final Draft Taphouse be in the hands of someone who can breathe newness into this space and community, and for us to pursue new endeavors/adventures.

The new owner of Final Draft Taphouse is Payton O’Neal, our long-term employee and badass human being and craft beer lover guide!

Payton will take over ownership on Wednesday, October 1.

Our love for each other and craft beer was the foundation of Final Draft Taphouse. We love each other, craft beer and bringing people together around a pint.

We've had a mission to make Final Draft Taphouse become that place that welcomes everyone and meets people where they are at on their craft beer journey…introducing them to craft beer and craft beer culture as we know it! And being a place where everyone is BEER Excellent to Each Other!

We accomplished our mission by focusing on our core values of....Connection and Community, Integrity, Kindness, and focusing Quality, Independent Craft Beer and being Be(Er) Excellent to Each Other. 

We want to thank you for being incredible pursuers of craft beer and supporting us and the industry and small businesses overall. And thank you for helping us survive the pandemic, and allowing us to see our dream and mission through to today. We learned a ton and it’s been an honor to get to know all of you and serve all of you.

We are proud of what we’ve built. We watched a community grow, connections and long-lasting friendships made, and have helped people learn about and explore craft beer and craft beer culture! While we are feeling all the feels, we are excited for Payton and excited to see the next chapter of Final Draft Taphouse.

Thank you Beer for an incredibly rad eight years together! Beer Friends Forever!

Love, Mike & Kimberly

About Cerebral Brewing
Cerebral Brewing fans have come to expect expertly crafted beers in a wide range of styles using a multitude of unique techniques. We embrace “a scientific approach to beer” by employing precise methodology to ensure quality and consistency. We’re proud to say we’ve had an in-house QA/QC lab since day one, and our commitment to quality has never wavered. Beyond the metrics and measurements, we lean on artistic inspiration and creativity to continuously develop new recipes. We are passionate about foeder fermented lagers, imaginative IPAs, and our extensive barrel-aging program. Locations in Congress Park, Denver, Colorado and Aurora Arts in Aurora, Colorado.

About Our Mutual Friend Brewery
We opened Our Mutual Friend Brewing in December of 2012 with the goal of creating a place for community through our small neighborhood taproom in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver at 2810 Larimer Street. Starting on a 31-gallon brew system, we worked tirelessly to understand the techniques and history of beer while looking forward to where craft beer was heading. Doing so influenced our vision to create beers with a sense of place, forging relationships with Colorado hop and barley growers and leading us into offering as many 100% Colorado grown beers as possible.

In 2021 we continued our organic growth on a ten-barrel brew system, increasing capacity to meet demand and offer traditional styles while still being afforded the opportunity for experimentation. We now produce beers specifically designed for release at our brewery and move almost the entirety of our beer across our bar. We brew beers that we want to drink in a place that we want to spend time in and we aim to be a company and space where everyone in our community feels safe and welcome.

Join us for our North Bank Beer Week North Bank Brewers Give Back Dart Tourney AND GIVE BACK KINDNESS PINT NIGHT!

Join us for a night of enjoying pints and drinking for a good cause!

For every pint sold, we will donate $1 per pint to the Fort Vancouver Regional Library Foundation (FVRLF).
