Our Story

Nestled on the upper most coastline of Northern California, 20 miles south of the Oregon border, Del Norte County is a place full of nature's pure expression featuring the powerful Pacific waves and rugged shoreline surrounded by towering majestic redwoods. Drawing inspiration from this area, Port O' Pints brewery was born and continues its pursuit of the next great local beer. With names of popular favorites like Agate Ale, Del Norter Porter, and 11 Bravo IPA, we continue to respond to the guidance of uncompromising influences and local taste buds. Cheers!
Founded in 2014 and purchased by Cynthia Parenteau (retired trauma nurse), Dr. John Kirk (OBGYN) and Devin Beach (Brew Master)  in 2023, leadership feels blessed and fortunate to pursue the efforts of bringing award winning hand crafted beer and delicious food to Crescent City.
"Our love of craft beer and good food certainly motivated the purchase and will enrich us as we continue the traditions of this beautiful and classic Irish pub and brewery. We refer to this stage of our lives as our second half, the better half and we look forward to bringing our best every day to all the people of Crescent City, Del Norte County and any guests or travelers who decide to visit our wonderful community. Thank you all for accepting and welcoming us. We won't let you down!" - John Kirk
