Today they continue to incorporate “green” practices in their business model with reduce-reuse-recycle across all restaurant, brewery and building operations. Their Caldera Soda Works launched with the lowest-sugar root beer on the market, and now includes ginger ale (with organic ginger),  lemon-lime Soda Hop and a refreshing Hibiscus Rose Petal Ice Tea. Today, the restaurant boasts more than 40 brews on tap, six of Caldera’s most popular beers are available in cans year round.

Located just a block off Main Street in the heart of downtown Ashland, Gil’s Taphouse sets a high quality standard in service of local craft beers, locally-sourced organic pub food, and a relaxing laid back atmosphere that includes a sunny patio, and a fire pit for cool weather. Did we say fun!? Co-owners Christian Senf and Aura Streett, Wyoming transplants in 2011, took a historic neighborhood cottage and came up with an eclectic open redesign that is all comfort and fun. The new vaulted ceiling, reclaimed bar, and myrtlewood floor lend a spacious pub vibe. As a flagship beer destination in Southern Oregon, the beer, wine, cider, meade, and Kombucha selections stand out, with the majority of their 23 rotating taps drawing from local and regional craft producers. Gil’s is a dedicated growler fill station and bottle shop that serves as the perfect portable answer to game nights at home and camping trips. Beer from smaller breweries, that can sometimes be overlooked, get special attention at Gil’s. The couple is also owners of Ruby’s, located right next door, which the couple opened to rave reviews around town as a much-needed organic cafe with outdoor seating. Guests at the taphouse are welcome to order from either menu and port food and drink between the two places, wherever seating is found.
