Natural Grocers Introduces Cottage Wine and Craft Beer to Klamath Falls, OR

Natural Grocers, the nation’s largest family-operated natural and organic grocery retailer, is expanding its Cottage Wine and Craft Beer shop to Klamath Falls, OR. Customers can now enjoy a top-shelf selection of organic and biodynamic wines, craft beer and other alcoholic beverages which have been vetted to meet the same rigorous, high-quality standards that all products must satisfy in order to be sold at Natural Grocers. In celebration of this customer-favorite expansion, Klamath Falls shoppers will enjoy a 25 percent store-wide discount between Oct. 5 and Oct. 11.

The buzzy and bubbly addition to the Klamath Falls store makes Natural Grocers the neighborhood destination for a flavorful brew or wine pairing to complete a delicious and nutritious meal. Customers can now enjoy a one-stop shopping trip with organic, biodynamic, gluten-free, low-sugar and low-calorie selections to find their favorite adult beverages. The shop carries traditional fan favorites along with a wide variety of new and unique offerings, which include:

• Local Craft Beer and Cider: Klamath Basin Brewing (Klamath Falls, OR), Caldera Brewing (Ashland, OR), Walkabout Brewing Company (Medford, OR), Boneyard Beer (Bend, OR), Eel River Brewing Company (Fortuna, CA) and North Coast Brewing Company (Fort Bragg, CA)
• Only Organic and Biodynamic Wine: Troon Vineyard (Grants Pass, OR), Wild Wines (Jacksonville, OR), Pacific Redwood Organic (Mendocino County, CA), Keeler Estate Vineyard (Amity, OR) and Cooper Mountain Winery (Beaverton, CA)
• Fortified and Fizzy: KYLA Hard Kombucha (Hood River, OR), Suzie’s Organic Hard Seltzer (Pendleton, OR), Eel River Clarity (Fortuna, CA), Flyer Embers Organic Hard Seltzer and Organic Hard Kombucha (Los Angeles, CA)

Natural Grocers cares about what their customers put in their bodies and how those decisions impact human health and the planet, so they only source alcoholic beverages from producers who prioritize healthy ingredients, sustainable practices and local economies.

• Certified Organic: Cottage Wine and Craft Beer prioritizes organic certification across all beverage categories, curating the largest organic selection possible. The shop carries only 100 percent organic wines and some wineries that have Demeter Biodynamic Certification. Natural Grocers works with wine producers who share its commitment to self-sustaining and regenerative agriculture and its benefits—soil health, biodiversity and improving the environment.
• Gluten-Free: The shop offers a comprehensive inventory of gluten-free and gluten-reduced beer, as well as gluten-free alcoholic kombucha and seltzers.
• Local: Natural Grocers sources high-quality craft beer, brewed with homegrown ingredients. Most of the inventory comes from local breweries—hyper-local whenever possible but certainly from within the state or region.
• Nutritional Value: Organic wine contains an average of 32 percent more of the antioxidant, resveratrol, than conventional varieties. Craft beer, brewed with pure ingredients and processes, offers some nutritional value as well, including B vitamins and bone-supporting nutrients like silicon.
• Out with The Bad, In with The Good: Cottage Wine and Craft Beer selections are GMO free and don’t contain the hidden junk often found in mass-produced brews, including high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, artificial additives and propylene glycol.

“By adding Cottage Craft Beer and Wine to our Klamath Falls store, we are now truly offering the community a one-stop grocery shopping solution,” commented Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers’ Co-President. “We are excited to provide this new service to our customers so that they can now get all the ingredients they need for a healthy meal, add in a beer or wine pairing and stop by the supplement department to pick up some milk thistle and other liver-supporting formulas.”
