One of Astoria’s craft breweries is tucked inside an old Bond Street warehouse that’s been extensively remodeled while preserving glimpses of its past.

It’s fitting that Obelisk Beer Co., named in tribute to the Astoria Column, is the building’s newest incarnation since it once served as a distribution center for Blitz-Weinhard beer.

Owners Nathan Lampson and Dave Coyne, both formerly of Fort George Brewery, have created a fun, family-friendly vibe for the taproom, which overlooks the brewhouse and its gleaming stainless steel tanks.

On various nights, you can hear live folk music, partake in a Mario Kart competition — with the game displayed on a screen at the end of the long bar — or enjoy a special German-style Kölsch beer service featuring those tall, skinny glasses.

The brewery’s motto is “slow beer, good times,” a reference to patient brewing and a festive atmosphere.

As for the beer, it’s second to none.

Coyne, who does the brewing, is constantly seeking perfection and it shows in his crisp lagers and robust IPAs. When visiting, be sure to ask for one of his inventive, limited-release collaborations with other Oregon breweries. There’s almost always one on tap.

Also, feel free to request a sample of a draft beer or two. The cheerful beertenders enjoy turning people on to new taste sensations.

While there, check out the art. Coyne doubles as an artist with a penchant for imaginative pen and ink drawings. Find them on beer labels, the brewery’s logo, signage and merchandise.

The brewery celebrated its first anniversary in November and is open every day. There’s no food service, but outside munchies are welcome. A selection of wines are also available.
