USA, OR: Ordnance Brewing brewer departs to open own brewpub

After four years of service, Logan Mayfield departed Ordnance Brewing earlier this week with plans of opening a local brewpub, close by in Boardman, OR, Brewbound reported on April 25.

Although Logan will be missed, he leaves behind a solid brewery team led by Paul Anderson (formerly of Deschutes Brewing). The transition has been in process for the last several months but Logan’s departure was finalized on Tuesday the 24th of April.

Ordnance’s management team, led by Craig Coleman, hope that Logan is successful in his new venture and are equally excited to have such a good neighbor close by. “We are pleased that Logan has the opportunity to pursue his dream,” said Coleman about Logan’s new venture.

Logan will be starting up Burnt Field Brewing less than a mile away in Boardman’s historic train depot. “We’ll start with a pizzeria, and contract brew, as well as carry some of Ordnance’s delicious beers. But eventually, we’ll be brewing all of our beer in-house.” commented Mayfield. Logan hopes to have the pizzeria side open early summer.
