I’m sorry to see that this place went ot of business. It was a great place to go hang out. There was a game room upstairs. The food was decent, but far from great and not much of a selection. The beer on the other hand was great. The Trippel they had on tap was great, I haven’t been able to find anything that has come close to it yet. Again sorry that it can’t be enjoyed any longer.

This place is at the end of the town shopping district. Very cozy. They had six on tap and all were good, but the stout was the best. Food selection was very typical of a pub with burgers, salads. If in the area a must.

Went here after visiting the outlet shopping center around the corner. Nice enough place and easy to find. Inside is a small homebrew supply shop, also stocking disc golf supplies. The bar/dining area is a bit sparse and spread out, leaving it feeling a bit empty. Service was great. Food was good, but not special. 10 of their own beers on tap, all of which were pretty good, the oatmeal stout being the best. They also have, I think, 4 guest taps (Oaked Arrogant Bastard was on!!). I’d stop back if in the area again.

This little brewery by the train station really gives of the sense that it was brought to be by true beer lovers. Having to walk thru the brewing supply shelves to get to the bar says it all. Their IPAs were exceptional.

Decent little brewery/homebrew store in scenic Troutdale. Nice rustic interior. Good selection of there own beers plus guest taps. Food selection seems decent, beers are good to fair.

Twice been here. A bit of a drive but it’s usually on the way into town and happened to be very close to a hotel I stayed at for a night. Inside is part homebrew shop, part restaurant with a bar. Good selection of their beers with a rotation guest tap. And they pay hommage to Alan Sprints and some HotD Magnums. Upstairs in an attic-style game room with couches and chairs. Food is of typical selection but well made and well priced. Outside you can hear the train go by every now and again. Lots of parking and friendly servers/bartenders. Brewer is a wicked nice hippy type and he’s usually there too.

Small place that doubles as a homebrew supply shop. A few tables scattered away from the small bar. Decent beer.

A nice little place a few steps away from the Sandy River, which divides the Portland Metro area from the civilization. The front of the store is a nice homebrew supply, and from what it looked like they have everything you need. The rest of the place is a brewpub with restaraunt seating. Good place to take the kids. The beer was also pretty good. They seem to like to brew lighter styles. A little out of the way as it is out in Troutdale, but worth the visit.
