Typical Whole Foods vibe - walk in cooler stocked with an impressive of local brews - lean on the imports, but that is not why you are here - fairly nice selection, and close by all the desirable downtown locations - nice place to stock up if you are staying near downtown.

walk-in cooler is a mix of local, regional and import. a few things not seen elsewhere in town, decent prices and a knowledgeable beer-dude running the place.

This has totally changed since I’ve first visited. The walk in cooler is now stocked with an array of local and international brews. A good place to stock up on some of the smaller, local brewers.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the best place to buy bottled craft beer downtown Portland. All the other markets and shops I went into had painfully limited selections. The selection at this Whole Foods is probably equal to some other Whole Foods, but it may be better than most. I could be biased, though, especially since I just moved from Colorado to Washington state, so at least a third or more of the beers were new to me. Many six-packs and lots of 22-oz bombers, which seem to be popular in the PNW for some reason. I was able to find plenty of new beers to try from Hub, Silver Moon, Speakeasy, Oakshire, and many others. The "beer guy" I spoke with was super friendly and helpful. He even brought out a couple fresh hop ales from the back for me that hadn’t even made it to the shelf yet. Then, the cashier was just as friendly, as she strongly suggested I hit the new Cascade Barrel House ... which I already planned to do. Regardless, the vibe was very cool. Prices were better than I expected. Overall, if you’re downtown Portland and don’t want to bother driving to bottle shops farther away, this place is definitely worth your time and money.
