History

Established in 2013.

This is the pub that started it all. The Old Lompoc Brewery, as it was originally known, began producing handcrafted ales and lagers in December 1996 (it operated as a tavern since 1993). It was built by head brewer Jerry Fechter, who purchased the brewery in 2000 with publican Don Younger and reopened it as the The New Old Lompoc. It was a popular hangout on NW 23^rd Ave until the late spring of 2012, when it was razed to make way for a new mixed-​use building with upper end retail space. A new pub was built in the exact same location on the block, only in a new LEED Gold four-​story, mixed-​use building on the block with retail on the first floor, 24 apartment units above, and a state-​of-​the-​art mechanized parking system tucked behind the retail space. The boutique-​scaled project opened in mid in May of 2013 and the Lompoc Tavern rose from the ashes. The new space is a pub only; all brewing operations shifted to the Lompoc Brewery at 3901 N Williams Ave.

Meet the Business Owner

Jerry F.

Business Owner

Jerry arrived in Portland from Ohio in 1990 and began a string of odd jobs in a search to find himself. He took up homebrewing in 1993, and the next summer, took a course at the Seibel Institute of Technology to learn all aspects of running a brewery. He built the The New Old Lompoc brewery and began brewing in 1996; he went on to grow a family of pubs that today consists of Lompoc Tavern, Hedge House, Oaks Bottom, Fifth Quadrant and Sidebar. Jerry is a huge soccer fan — you’ll nearly always find a soccer game on the TV in the pubs — as well as a Steelers fan.
