Smallest? What about Natian (1.3 bbl system). Until their recent expansions, I think Beetje (now the Commons) and Mt. Tabor were also smaller.
We (at Portland U-Brew) actually have a 1/2bbl system! We brew 15 gal batches so we are def smaller than the mammoth beetje:) Cheers!
I habitually over-write. So my editors habitually try to shrink-to-fit. Please forgive both sides. Here's how I originally worded the issue of size:
"...this Sellwood cheeseteak shop, with its three-barrel system, used to lay claim to being "Oregon's smallest licensed microbrewery,” though even Portland U-Brew & Pub which opened half a year ago and a block away produced half as much according to the OLCC."
I saw no reason to rattle off every Ore. brewery that's nano-er or pico-er than Philly's, (Bend's Below Grade, SW PDX's Baristador's, etc, etc.)
