Now another vehicle is joining the city’s fleet of boozy buggies: a rare Italian box truck that is about to become EarthLab Libations.

Business partners Matt McDonald and Daniel Denison are preparing to open the outlet in a current cluster of food carts near the corner of Southeast Belmont Street and 27th Avenue. Their truck will be the first to serve alcohol at that location, turning the modest patch of gravel into a much more lively beer garden once it is up and running.

McDonald tells WW that it was actually Denison who was drawn to the 1988 rig—which was only sold in the U.S. market during a brief period in the ’80s through a partnership with Ford Motor Company. The Craigslist find had been sitting in a Southeast Portland field, completely neglected, for over a decade, but Denison has a passion for boxy European vehicles of that era and immediately wanted to buy it.

Location talks!
