At Volition Brewing, we’re driven by a passion for exploration, quality, and inclusivity in every sip. We believe the best adventures start in the great outdoors and extend into shared moments—around a campfire, after a long hike, or among good company and great conversation. Our mission is to craft a wide variety of beverages for every taste and lifestyle, from expertly brewed beers to refreshing, family-friendly sparkling water. With a love for nerdy curiosity and meaningful connections, we create spaces where enthusiasts of all kinds can gather, recharge, and raise a glass as all adventures lead to Volition.

Lucas started Volition to bring people together and support conservation through craft beverages for everyone. The taproom pours Volition’s flagship beers alongside ciders, non-alcoholic options and kid-friendly drinks, and Volition has been named a Best of 425 winner four times (2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026). He also founded the Volition Pinball League and serves as its commissioner.
Outside the brewery, Lucas is a product leader at Microsoft, where he was the first PM on Microsoft 365 Copilot, and he builds the brewery’s own software with AI coding agents. When he isn’t working, you’ll find him outdoors with his family or sharing a pint with friends.

We are proud to be a part of over a century of family history in North Bend. Our building was the original site of North Bend’s mercantile business “Glazier’s Dry Goods Co.” owned and operated by Ward Glazier, who first arrived in North Bend in 1908.
Ward purchased the building in the early 1920s and it underwent a major expansion in early 1940s when North Bend Way was widened. Ward’s son, Watt, removed the front portion of the original structure and expanded the reinforced concrete structure to its current configuration. After another remodel in the 1950s, Watt’s son, William, went on to run the family business as a clothing, draperies and antique store from the 1970s through the mid-1990s.
In 2019, the Glazier family has once again breathed new life into this site in conjunction with Volition Brewing Co. as North Bend’s very own craft brewery and taphouse.
See below for the original concepts and visions for the renovated space, designed by Jane Brookman Designs in collaboration with Herrera Architects, and visit us the next time you’re in Historic Downtown North Bend (credit: Jane Brookman Designs).
