About Our Company in Portland, Oregon
It began with an idea…

Our History
Northwest Draft Technicians was founded in 2014 by Nick and Jake Klein on the belief that beer should taste just as it was brewed. Growing up in the Parkrose neighborhood, the brothers have roots in the Northwest Portland area. Still locally owned and family operated, our company has grown into the business our valued customers know today – one that serves establishments that provide more than just beer. And while our team has expanded over the years, our employees are equally as passionate about clean beer and beverages as the owners.

Beverage Line Installations
At Northwest Draft Technicians, we specialize in professional draft line installations with an understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every establishment. Our team is prepared to create a system for your brewpub, bar, or restaurant that suits your needs best. We will discuss your vision for the space, craft a plan, and make sure that the system works properly. We’ll also offer recommendations for future servicing and maintenance, so your business can continually cater to its clientele.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Draft line cleaning and maintenance is a primary part of our business – and an important part of yours, too. When contaminates accumulate along the inside of your draft lines, they can affect how your beverages taste and overall system performance. And buildup may include mold, bacteria, and other unsanitary particulates. In partnership with Northwest Draft Technicians, you can ensure your beverages taste fresh with each pour.

Did you know that we also install home kegerators? Northwest Draft Technicians caters to beer and beverage enthusiasts across the area with leading home kegerator services. Offering a variety of features for each unique situation, our team can help you craft a home draft system that meets your needs and comes in the size and color you want.
