54-40 Brewing to open new location in Washougal

54-40 Brewing Company will open a new location — with a full-service restaurant and taproom — at the Evergreen Marketplace in Washougal later this year.

“We have been struggling for years now to figure out a permanent kitchen,” said 54-40 Brewing owner Bolt Minister. “We had leased suites (next to our Port of Camas-Washougal location) to put in a permanent kitchen, but the costs just got so darn expensive over the last couple of years, and I realized that it wasn’t going to happen. Once we finally realized that, I started looking elsewhere, and I found the Pizza Hut location next door to the old Blockbuster (video rental store). We’re taking both of those spaces.”
