About Mosaic Taphouse
Mosaic Taphouse aims to be St. Johns' top destination for craft beer, serving as a diverse social hub that champions Portland's Filipino and Queer communities. Through our partnerships with Chém Gió and Kalesa Coffee we offer a wide range of beverages and cuisine. Our mission focuses on forging genuine connections with patrons, maintaining a welcoming atmosphere, and enhancing community engagement through a variety of events. With a vision to become a symbol of diversity and a leading craft beer taphouse in Portland, we are dedicated to enriching St. Johns and beyond.
Who We Are
We are Jarek and Laurence Oliver, the owners of Mosaic Taphouse. We both have a passion for great beer and how it can bring a community together. Being a married gay couple we know how important representation is in all aspects of life. We absolutely love the Portland beer community and are excited to bring some additional diversity to the craft beer scene through our identities in the queer and Filipino communities.
The Logo Design
The 3 primary design elements featured in our logo are:
St Johns Bridge Arch: symbolic of St Johns, is a source of locality and pride
Beer Hop: emblematic of the beer community and encompasses our business
3 Stars: each star represents a chapter in our lives.
1st star represents how we first met under a shooting star in 2010.
2nd star represents our marriage in 2020. Both our wedding bands include shavings of meteorite, symbolizing how we first met 10 years prior.
3rd star represents this taphouse, the 3rd major chapter of our lives.
