History

Named after the Sumerian goddess of beer, Ninkasi was founded in 2006 by Jamie Floyd and Nikos Ridge. The first beer they produced was Total Domination IPA. Production reached 56,000 barrels in 2011 and by 2013 production had increased to 86,000. The company's headquarters are in Eugene's Whiteaker neighborhood, which is also home to several other local breweries. In 2020, Ninkasi opened the Ninkasi Better Living Room restaurant, which operated until its closure in October 2023. Ninsaki merged with Legacy Breweries in April 2019, but dissolved the partnership a year later through a separation agreement. In 2023, the company merged with Wings & Arrow to form Great Frontier Holdings.
