GROWLERS
PORTLAND
PORTLAND, OREGON
Located in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon, a city known for many things as well as some deep roots in the beer brewing industry. During this revolution, fresh beer was carried from the local pub back home by a small, galvanized pail- known as the growler. Portland's first official brewery opened it's doors in 1852, we celebrate this part of our home city’s history, culture and influence.
The team's official mascot, Henry the Brew Master, is named after the first brew masters in Oregon, Henry Saxer and Henry Weinhard.
team colors are not just important
to be set apart from the league.
The Growlers Navy Blue and Yellow Grain
also pay tribute to their city’s flag
honoring its surrounding rivers and
major influence on the wheat trade.

The region's mass transit system, TriMet, uses five light rail lines to effectively connect downtown, to the Portland International Airport and outlying neighborhoods. This is supplemented by almost 80 bus lines and a commuter rail that connects the metro community of Beaverton to Wilsonville. In addition to the airport, Portland is connected to other regions along the West Coast by Amtrak and several charter bus companies.
