Standing Stone Brewing Company

Standing Stone Brewing Company is Ashland, Oregon's most beloved brewpub, anchoring the corner of Oak Street in downtown Ashland in Jackson County. Founded in 1996, the brewery has built a reputation over nearly three decades for honest, well-crafted ales and lagers brewed on-site alongside a menu of pub food that takes local and organic sourcing seriously—unusual in a brewpub context and reflective of Ashland's broader community values. The Standing Stone IPA Burger, built on a housemade patty sourced from organic local beef and served with the brewery's house-made IPA, is the flagship combination that most regulars return to season after season. Fish and Chips, using Pacific-caught fish in a light beer batter, is the classic pub preparation done with care. Seasonal Grain Bowls represent the brewery's willingness to move beyond pub-food conventions toward more contemporary, health-forward options—a nod to Ashland's health-conscious demographic. The brewery produces a rotating selection of ales, lagers, and seasonal specialties; the Standing Stone IPA is the flagship, well-balanced and sessionable enough to accompany a full meal. The dining room is large, loud, and family-friendly, with a deck that extends outdoor seating into Ashland's famously mild spring and summer. The location makes it the natural pre-theater dining destination for visitors attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which runs February through October and draws tens of thousands of visitors to the small city annually. Reservations are accepted for large groups; walk-in seating is usually available at the bar and throughout the dining room on weeknights.
