Ninkasi is the Ancient Sumerian Goddess of Brewing. She is the goddess made to "satisfy the desire" and "sate the heart." Sumerians were an ancient civilization located in the southern part of Mesopotamia (modern day southeastern Iraq) from the time of the earliest records in the mid 4th millennium BC until the rise of Babylonia in the late 3rd millennium BC.

The Sumerians were the first recorded brewers to give up a nomadic way of life and become an agrarian society. They produced barley as early as 3500 BC from which they made bread and beer. The first people to have writing, schools, and laws, the Sumerians were also the first to practice organized beer production.

It is our goal to educate people about the significant role that beer has played in the cultivation of civilization. We are proud to carry out this tradition for our own community as we honor Ninkasi, the first spirit in brewing.

Ninkasi, where making beer is a way of life!!!

Based upon the highly anticipated arrival of an entirely new brewing system, we thought it was noteworthy to show you what it takes to make Eugene's finest Micro-Brews. This 3 part series shows the evolution of a small Northwest brewery, and what it takes to produce their product. Ninkasi Brewing Company is Eugene, Oregon's hometown brewery.

Producing superior ales and lagers using the finest regional ingredients, you can find their beer on tap at many reputable restaurants and bars all across the Northwest.
