Full Sail Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Hood River, Oregon, United States. It was one of the first of Oregon's microbreweries. Founded in 1987, Full Sail was the first commercially successful craft brewery to bottle beer in the Pacific Northwest for retail sale. The first beer packaged was Full Sail Golden Ale, followed in 1988 by Full Sail Imperial Porter, Full Sail Amber Ale, and Wassail Winter Ale.

The first year's total production of 287 barrels was brewed by four employees, followed by 2200 barrels the next year. In 2007, Full Sail brewed more than 120,000 barrels.

In July of 1999, Full Sail became employee-owned, setting up an ESOP to share equity with the 47 employees.

In May of 2005, Full Sail introduced Session Premium Lager, a tribute to pre-Prohibition beers and bottled in a stubby bottle. In 2007, Full Sail introduced a line of Limited Edition Lager Beers, called LTD#1 and LTD#2.

The Full Sail Brewery is known for its quality microbrewed beers, most notably its trademark Amber Ale. Full Sail is located in the Columbia River Gorge in the city of Hood River, which is known for its view of Mount Hood. The Full Sail Brewery and Pub is located in downtown Hood River.

In July 2003, Full Sail began contract brewing three beers for SABMiller under the almost 150 year-old Henry Weinhard's brand: Henry Weinhard's Hefeweizen, Northwest Trail Blonde Lager, and Amber Light. SABMiller had purchased the brands from Stroh's in 1999, and for a few years had moved their production to its Tumwater, Washington brewery until it closed that location in 2003.

The Full Sail brewery has earned many honors for its beers. These honors include:
*Ten Gold Medals for Amber Ale at the World Beer Championships
*A Bronze Medal for its released lager
