easy access from both west and easy sides. garage door entrance and open/high-ceilinged interior with a half-dozen tables and about 15 bar seats. small kitchen for grub and a few small coolers for bottles (most for on-premises only). taps include fred from the wood, adam, greg, blue dot, doggie claws 07, while bottles include 08 and 09 cherry adam, michael, matt, rose cassis, ruth and a few others. friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. this area is slowly growing into something substantial, especially with the addition of clark lewis around the corner.

Medium sized place. Freight train comes through every 20 minutes or so. Friendly. Lots of beer tourists. Reasonable choice of beers.

High-ceilinged industrial park brewery. About six taps or so, plus various bottles and schwag for sale. Alan is a solid host and cooked up some good food for the OBF Open House, though there isn’t usually food available.

After reading the laudative reviews, I figured this place was an absolute must. It kinda was as we had the rare chance to try Matt and Greg with description from Master Sprints himself. The place is basically a pilgrimage, extremely hard to find in an ugly industrial remote part of town. Once inside, you need to squeeze yourself through the hundred or so barrels loaded with elixir. What pulled you here is the beer and Alan was kind enough to offer us free samples of the 5-6 beers he had available on that day. Sorry, no Dave available. It was a nice experience which I’m glad I did, but I was not totally thrown to the floor even though I consider HOTD my favourite brewery in the USA.

A super friendly tasting room in an industrial sector of town. Limited but delicious menu, of cheeses, cold cuts, and a daily menu, made by the brewer! 7 taps of exceptional beers, at 2$ per 3 ounces sample or 6 samples for 12$. Another must.

Alan was a great host for our tour. PDX Brewers: We came saw and conquered the brewery. Alan opened his establishment for a special night time tour and this was fantastic. A brewery that was not so far out of touch with us Homebrewers. His system all built by him and friends was awesome and really made us see the process and what and where we are with ours. He gave samples and told us the history of his brewery that made you feel he really wanted us to be a part of his story. This is one brewer that takes the cake for being a true Gentlemen. Alan I hold my glass up to you my friend. Hoppy Brewing!!!

Visited on Tues 6th November around mid day. Large single roomed venue with a bar to the side and lots of wooden bench seating. 7 HOTD taps and a guest, plus various vintage bottles of Adam and friends for drink in only. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient and we had some snacks which were good too. Menu was fairly high end and looked good. Atmosphere was a bit flat but it hadn’t long opened. A large organised tour group of 20 or so arrived just before we departed. Plenty of merchandise on sale. Well reccomended - would like to try on an evening next time, although I imagine it will be hard to find the right balance between too quiet and too busy!

Ambiance is great in a fun way. Alan was a great host, informative and generous. We got to try 8 beers on tap, three of which are quite rare. A fabulous time and a must do if you can. Buy up any brews you find here. Make and appointment. Some of the best beers around.

Some really great beers at this brewery... recommended.

Hair of the Dog was our first stop after arriving in Portland. It’s in an industrial area in the SE quadrant near the city center. The atmosphere is open, bright, colorful, friendly. The service was fine. Food looked and smelled great but we didn’t eat. The beer, of course, is world-class and a surprisingly good value. Not really any more expensive than any brewpubs back home. Wow. There are 8 taps that featured the four regulars, a couple mild ("Little Dogs") versions, one barrel (Cherry Adam FTW when we came), and one guest. Overall, I don’t know what to say except that despite being a really solid place with great beer, it doesn’t live up to expectations as one of the premier beer destinations in the country.
