New Paradox Brewery in North Hudson to Come on Line Winter 2018

The progress being made at the new North Hudson site of the Paradox Brewery is hopping along (pun totally intended) at warp speed.

Brewery Founders Paul and Joan Mrocka told us they hope to be producing beer in December. And with the major foundation work well underway, and with the cooperation of Mother Nature, there should be few hurdles ahead.

The video, produced by the  PDX, shows the recent progress at the site, part of the abandoned Frontier Town Theme Park At the end of the video you'll get a glimpse of the Brewery's mascot: Olive.
