History edit

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.[2] Production reached 56,000 barrels in 2011 and by 2013 production had increased to 86,000.[3]

The company's headquarters are in Eugene's Whiteaker neighborhood,[2] 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.[4]

Ninsaki merged with Legacy Breweries in April 2019, but dissolved the partnership a year later through a separation agreement.[4][5] In 2023, the company merged with Wings & Arrow to form Great Frontier Holdings.[5]
