1188 Brewing Co

1188 Brewing Co dominates eastern Oregon’s small-town brewing scene, capturing fifth place by outpacing well-funded competitors such as 10 Barrel Brewing. Brewing just 1,200 barrels annually from its John Day facility, this craft brewery achieves a remarkable 4.6-star rating across 500+ reviews—30% higher than the average rural Oregon brewery. Its flagship high-mountain IPA, with a 7.2% ABV, costs $6 per pint, making it 15% cheaper than the typical craft beer in Portland. This combination of quality and value outperforms #6 13 Virtues Brewing Co, which struggles to match 1188’s regional loyalty and production consistency.
