Good thing I don’t live near here, I’d be in there way too often. Many locals come here for good reason. Growler fills, 5oz ($1.50), 12oz ($3), pitchers ($12), and 750 ml bottles. Very good to excellent, fresh beer, most is saison/saisonesque. Large tap selection. Cool basement location with minimum amount of seating but they will get out the fold up tables and chairs when needed. If you like to eat something when you drink better bring it cause crunchy pork skins are the only thing they have if they don’t run out. Of those I’ve tried to date I like the Engleberg Pils (excellent btw), Alphaphlactic IPA, and Saison # 5 best. Difficult to find location is on NORTH BROADWAY (not NE Broadway) which is only a short section of Broadway just north of the Broadway bridge. It’s in the Left Bank building, go down to the "B" in the elevator. Where else can you get a 64 oz pitcher of good quality saison for $12?

Visited this last weekend after HotD sale. First of all, this place is very tricky to find from the google map directions on my iPhone. Thanks to suzyg though, I finally found the place. Tucked away downstairs in a really cool older work loft style building. Walking in, you are literally in the brewery. Right in the front and to the left of me were barrels and a small tasting area. To the right is the brewery. Really cool spot were it seemed the norm to just walk around and check it out. The brewery is super clean and very efficient in the use of space. Really a cool layout. The tasting room was headed by a very nice woman that poured me a taster tray, good size tasters, of everything on draft...for $5. They also sell bottles, growlers and some shirts/hats. Solid place and I can’t wait to go back again.

The place was quite hard to find. I walked through some political conference upstairs before finally finding the stairs to the basement. It’s almost like the brewery is in a dungeon. The beers were VERY interesting even if I didn’t love them. Not too far from downtown, so I would recommend it for a Portland brewery tour.

This basement brewpub is hard to find, but well worth the effort. The brewing equipment is visible from the seating area, which consists of 3 small tables. On a Sunday afternoon there was an informal Bluegrass oriented band playing. There is an underground ambience to the place that makes for an interesting time. The 8 beers on tap were excellent to fabulous and can be consumed in pints or in taster flilghts. The barkeep (owner?) was very helpful and friendly. A nice stop.

I was so happy to tour and try a few beers here. A old friend of mine brews here Alex and I have judged brews together for years. It is an odd place will need to be on your toes when looking for it The place is down the stars and if your near the Rose garden then you are close. Great feel, loved the open tanks they are going to do well. Food is very limited to none.

One of the very best places in America’s best Beer town. Go to Upright, you won’t be disappointed.

OK, I lived this place. It was in a basement. It was hard to find with impossible hours. Almost no seating. Wait, but there were tons of happy people! Prices super fair. The guy pouring the beer knew a ton (I think he brewed as well). It was a great location for true beer nerds. The non-beer geeks would never find it. Lots of chatting between groups.

A quaint little tasting room in the basement of an unsuspecting building with a lovely charm. The brewmaster pours 10 (9 Upright) beers on tap in sampler sizes, 12 oz pours or growler fills for very reasonable prices, along with offering a few bottles to go. Great little place to stop in on a warm day for some of Upright’s saison specialties.

This place is all about the beer. Wierd commercial basement location with a small corner of beer taps. Nice selection with samplers or full pours. Very limited hours but if youre in town you should definitely hit it up and try a couple samplers of amazing beer.

A great little tasting room in this basement brewery located in a funky turn of the 20th century office tower. Nine offerings on tap all at 1.50$ each...and these are high quality offerings! They do have some snacks to buy, but this is for beer imbibing. Barkeep/master of vinyl was friendly. Please note the odd hours, but as David said, the focus here is brewing. Still, fun time tasting beer, eating pork rinds amongst barrels!
