Ninkasi Brewing Company

About Ninkasi Brewing Company

Founded in 2006 by Jamie Floyd and Nikos Ridge, Ninkasi Brewing Company is named after the ancient Sumerian goddess of beer. The brewery's journey began when the two founders met at a Eugene bottle shop in late 2005, united by their passion for craft beer. On June 15, 2006, Floyd and Ridge spent 17 hours brewing their first batch of Total Domination IPA in leased space inside a German restaurant in Springfield. That flagship IPA, named one of the 25 Best Beers in the World by Men's Journal, launched what would become one of America's fastest-growing craft breweries. In 2007, Ninkasi moved to its current location in Eugene's historic Whiteaker neighborhood. By 2011, it was the fastest-growing craft brewery in the United States, yet has remained independent and deeply committed to the Eugene community that nurtured its growth.
