Portland Syrups began in a neighborhood kitchen in 2012. Two friends came together to brew the "Belgian beer of craft soda." The goal was to create a beverage with an elevated drinking experience that could stand both on its own and as a mixer. We think we've created flavors that passed that test and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

It's a very involved process that could be streamlined and mechanized. We could use extracts instead of whole ingredients. We could produce in 10,000 gallon vats and use 8-head fillers and automated labelers and get our cost of goods as low as possible by purchasing cheaper ingredients and cutting corners, but that doesn't interest us. We don't want to be the next Coca-Cola because we don't want to make Coca-Cola. None of us have any issues with any specific corporations and their manufacturing practices, but it's just not what we want to do with our products. We make because we love making and each step is precious to us.

Our flavors come not just from the ingredients we use, but how we use them. We purchase from the companies we feel good about purchasing from both at home and at work. We want to feed our own families good food and also purchase from good people making good things so they can support their families. It might cost us a hair more at the register, but it all comes full circle in the long run. We believe that good comes from good and that's how we run our business. (That's a lot of uses of "good" in one paragraph. Perhaps overused, but we think the point gets across.)
So, long story short, we're not sure which buzz-terms sum us up, but if our customers can create a delicious beverage with our flavors and we feel like we did our best job sourcing, brewing, bottling and labeling then it's safe to say we are a "happy" beverage company. When it comes to business, I can't imagine anything better than being both proud and happy with one's product.

We promise to always do our best to find ways to improve and continue to create. We also promise to source ethically, responsibly, truthfully and honestly.
