In 1862, Henry Weinhard moved to Portland, Oregon and purchased an old brewery on the corner of NW First and Davis, before moving in 1864 to a facility occupying two full blocks at NW 12th and Burnside. Blitz-Weinhard was sold to Pabst in 1979 who sold it to Stroh's in 1996. Brewing continued in Portland until 1999, when it was sold by the Stroh Brewery Company to the Miller Brewing Company, who closed it down.
The brewery was a fixture of an old industrial and warehouse district which, beginning in the 1990s, has become known as the Pearl District in downtown Portland, and its closure marked the beginning of a massive urban rejuvenation project. Following the closure of the Portland brewery in 1999, Miller brewed Henry Weinhard's at the Olympia brewery in Tumwater, Washington until that brewery too was closed in 2003.
The Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve brand survives today and is currently owned by SABMiller, and some of its beers are brewed under contract at the Full Sail Brewing Company. Its sodas are still sold in the USA and alcopop versions are sold in Canada
