48 Best Craft Breweries in Portland

“Great Beer. Great Atmosphere. Great Food. Great Ownership. Enough said right there. But honestly we love this place. If we lived closer it would be a weekly ritual. All of their beers are delicious and they have a really great selection. You know those places that all their IPA’s taste the same? This is NOT Culmination. On top of that there owner is super friendly. Always down to talk beer and give you tasters. They have ample indoor space and patio space available. With the addition of FOMO chicken, now they have great food. Don’t sleep on Culmination Brewing, GO NOW.“

“Great beer and sours! Staff is awesome!“

“It is undoubtedly one of the best winery bars in Portland, with the best wines, environment, and atmosphere.They make a lot of experimental wines that are very special and delicious. The bar is decorated in the style of a jazz bar, and the music is played on vinyl records. There are drinking spaces on the first and second floors, both of which are very comfortable.It's a pity that they only get a lot of customers coming in to drink when there are events nearby. I hope everyone will come and support us even when there are no activities.“

“It had been a few years since I been there, and it was the same...great beers and delicious food. Also, going in the summer is the best, love the outdoor space.“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“Drink a tasty micro-brew as you watch the sunset. Huge tap list. if you like Hazy IPA, try out ‘Glow Stick’. The Korean Chicken Wings can be hit or miss. When it’s a hit, they’re tasty. The bruschetta and brussels are excellent choices as well. When the weather is nice, the outside seating is a must.Last night (Thursday) they had an outstanding acoustic guitar player singing all your favorite mellow covers. The music filled the space, while not overtaking it, so you could still have a conversation.Pro-tip: If you’re coming from the east side of the train tracks, and you don’t want to get stuck in your car for a full hour, use Powell Blvd and you avoid the tracks!!“

“Preston is one of the kindest, most personable bartenders in the city, so glad LB was able to retain his talents. Give that man a raise.Beers are diverse; light sours are the main attraction, but plenty of IPAs, stouts + lagers as well. The lager is stellar. Nice to finally see some higher ABV options.Patio is great, dog friendly, both open air + more private options. The establishment encourages outside seating, which is nice to see when most places are practicing COVID denial.Lawless BBQ is no Holy Trinity, but damn good, and very reasonably priced. Happy Hour has some great deals!!All around great spot. Cheers!!“

“Great setup with the various food vendors that are part of the building. Lots of different styles of beer and the server was friendly. The Timbers were on TV and this seems like a fun place to watch a game but we couldn’t stick around. Would like to come back in the summer and enjoy the covered patio.“

“A hidden gem. Very nice and cozy outdoor space. We loved the nachos and of course beer.“

“Very cool vibes at Threshold! The beer selection is fun and the bartender was very chill.There’s not much food selection here, but the area does have plenty of places to get something to eat.We went on a Friday which I think is karaoke night! It was fun for the time we were there, but very loud! There was outdoor seating, but it is not heated so dress warm.“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“Delicious and perfect every time!“

“This place is so cool!! There is a bar and restaurant with a movie theater inside. You order your food and drinks and they give you a number to take into the theater with you. They bring your food right to you as you're watching the movie. The decor is super unique and so cool to look at all the different things they have in there. In the movie theater, there is a dome up above that is super cool as well. The theater chairs are nice and big and give you lots of room. They have tables connected to the chairs in front of you for your food. We love this place and will definitely be coming back and recommending to others.Parking: They have a parking lot and parking on the streets around it.Kid-friendliness: It is definitely kid friendly.They even have a kids menu for food.“

“Fantastic pizza, great beer selection, convenient parking, fun location, nice staff. Love this place. Our only complaint is the volume of the music that is always blasting. I get it. I've worked service jobs in the past and you are focusing on your crew. But the high volume of the music makes it hard to talk to your friends. Please turn it down tad? Otherwise, this place is wonderful.“

“Sarah and Abby are the greatest bartenders I have ever experienced. Both so considerate and observant and just pleasant af. Always know when I am ready for another drink. Also just so sweet and kind and cool and make me feel so special. The reason I come! Thank you for making me and my friends feel so good. I hope your employer knows how incredibly cool and valuable you are! I will come again and again to see you both!“

“Wonderful food, decent beer, rustic atmosphere. My partner is gluten free so just the fact that everything at Ground Breaker is GF meant we had to check it out.We had a flight of beer, tried a Papusa, and had chicken strips and fish and chips. The food was top notch, all hot and very fresh. So good! And the beer was fun to try, but just not to my preference. Still fine.The reason for 4 over 5 stars is that I like a little more service. This place is minimal, you need a phone to order... no menus, you scan the QR code. And you gotta go to the bar to order a beer. Bus your own table. Pay on your phone. Get your own fork and napkins, and water. The employees were nice. Just be ready for this kind of do it yourself set up when you go.“

“Lynn was incredibly helpful when I needed to create a gift for our head carpenter. She helped me choose beer and a tee shirt and then helped me carry everything to the car. I can't say enough about the service. Thanks Lynn.“

“Amazing brewery in a nice neighborhood in Portland. Wednesday's trivia is challenging but entertaining. The host is fantastic. They are right by Urban German which serves good food. This is definitely a place I will keep coming back to time and again for their beer.“

“Great for family dine in during Happy hour and after hospital appointments. It's quite homey. The table booths are great and the lounge areas are good too.Dietary restrictions: Not dietary restrictions BUT accomodations are great. I ask politely all the time for jalapenos to be cooked with my burger. Staff and cook very nice doing that.Parking: It's a risk taker. If you can find free parking that's great. But there is a pay for street parking everywhere eversince 2022.Kid-friendliness: Live here with family. Been bringing kiddo since pea in a pod. The staff is kind because we always come when it's really not busy.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the corner on 23rd so it's hidden in plain site. I believe it's part of a apartment complex.“

“I saw a review on crypto investment that changed my story for good. I never believed it at first but after much convincing by my account manager in the person of Mrs Craig Vanessa I decided to give it a trial with just $5,000 even though there was a lower cost of investment. Starting with this, I made a profit of $35,500 in the first week. I am sharing this here for those that may have an interest. Mrs. Craig Vanessa is genuine and her style of trade is unique. Completely top-notch and different from the rest. Contact her today and you will not regret it. Send her a DM on WhatsApp via the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Stopped in here for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Place was lovely, very nice architecture inside and the bench seats were pleasant and comfortable. Had the burgers which were not over salted and were juicy. The Dopplebock was amazing though, one of my favs for sure.“

“Good place really good food ahi tuna was great“

“Great fun gluten free corn dogs with Honey Butter Country Fair! Great gluten free beer too.“

“Great remodel from when it was Modern Times Fermentorium…good beer selection, friendly service…great overall experience!“

“A great place to grab a brew before or after a meal. They do not have food/meals just a few small pre packaged munchies. But you can get food delivered, or bring your own. There are some nice places close by for meals. It's very chill with good tunes always playing. Workers are super friendly and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything new and recommended. They know what they are doing here. Looking to expand your taste, this is a good place. They host gatherings and markets from time to time. There is a nice outside area and a good amount of seating inside. Good for groups or just wanting to hang.“

“Lynn was incredibly helpful when I needed to create a gift for our head carpenter. She helped me choose beer and a tee shirt and then helped me carry everything to the car. I can't say enough about the service. Thanks Lynn.“

“Great beer, great people, fantastic decor in a comfortable setting. Awesome food next door. Go there now!“

“Great beer (Golden Boot Pilsner, Petr Czech Dark Lager) friendly service good atmosphere“

“Up and coming little nano brewery in the north side of town, no food served but Thai food truck right out front and home brew supply store next door. The location is a modern mix of industrial brewing equipment and hip tasting room decor with bar games, small patio area, etc. The staff and owners were really friendly, happily providing tastes and information about the establishment. Started with the Ginger Kid Vanilla Red Ale, a decent red, malty in flavor and medium body. Moved on to Gnome Bard Wit, which was a refreshingly nice and light beer for a hot day! Decent bite to it. Also tried the Tiny House Session, another good one, better than the previous in my opinion, more suited for a laid back beer to quench the thirst without getting too buzzed. Lastly, came the Common Cut, which I did not care for too much. All in all a great visit, being a fairly new brewery, I look forward to what they have in store next. With single barrel batches, they often introduce new taps so stay tuned! Check out their website, it will win you over pronto! Thanks guys, see ya again soon! Best, ~S“

“Showed up late in the evening again, barely making last call. It was empty but had a good conversation with the only other customer and staff. Only had the Japanese lager in keeping with my final last days in Portland, no more hopps for awhile. They also had an MKIII in the corner I didn't get a chance to feed. Worth a trip if in the area“

“You won't know it on the website , but they serve square shaped deep dish pizza , here. And it's really good . The beers , however , are citris centric. West coast this and that, Some lagers snuck in. Personally , I stick to the brown ale . Live music plays open a large space occupied , sometimes , by kids and dogs. Very dog friendly. Parking is in a fenced yard south of building. Also if you like to drive past 10 mph, you will miss the "Ruse" symbol on the side of the building.“

“bloop was a great sour and the staff was amazing!!“

“Atmosphere was super chill, service was excellent, and staff was very helpful and attentive. Food was delicious, and they have options for everyone, from regular American food to vegan options and more. I got the vegan burger it was very delicious. My friend got the Green Chili Burger, and she said it was super delicious. The shoestring fries are delicious.“

“I have been coming here for years. Recently I went to pick up cans and there was nothing fresh in the fridge. Only some that were canned back in September thought that was really weird. A lot of guest taps as well, not sure if they're uninspired or don't care enough to make more of their own beers. I was about to come in a buy $60 worth of cans to take home but there aren't any. Owner is really nice though so I'll try again later.“

“Sweet staff. Great space. AWESOME beer.“

“Why do you want to know? The place is awesome, the beer is the best in Portland, the staff are lovely. ::goes to the corner and hides his reasons for enjoyment in a captain's chest::“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“I'm not a beer drinker... so I skipped this place for way too long.... Don't make the same mistake I made. The pizzas are a-maz-ing! Great interior with plenty of outside seating on these perfect summer/autumn days. We've always enjoyed good service .... Friendly staff.... Great location in MLK (for us anyway!)“

“My wife and I finally stopped by and it was 10/10 experience! The servers were awesome, super simple to be able to order (right from your table QR code) and someone quickly brings you your food. Worked really efficiently and staff was super nice! The beer was reaaaaaallllyy great, and the food was fantastic! May be the best nachos I've had in Portland, and the Lamb burger was On a side note they have these really cute and fun Jell-O shots Definitely come here!“

“I want to say that I am impressed a friend invited me to this brewery, I was skeptical at first, but I was trilled after I've tasted the beers.We had two sets of samplers with 12 different beers, which I can tell that they have a variety of beers!I really enjoyed my time here.“

“Great underrated place! Friendly atmosphere, too..:“

“A wonderful brewery out post and food cart pod. A much bigger spot than I expected when looking from the street. A nice variety of food carts, only half were open on a Sunday afternoon. I was really impressed with Bam Pow Burgers, excellent burger and the fries were cooked perfectly nice and crisp with a nice amount of salt. The tap list was nicely balanced with a surprisingly number of fresh hop options. The fresh hop never fresher pale ale along with the fresh hop stay fresh IPA were both excellent. The Eastside pilsner was nice and crisp. Beers to go and beer swag available.Indoor and outdoor seating options. Not too busy on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Fast friendly service. Street parking is the only option. Highly recommend a visit if you love good beer and food. I will be coming back.“

“Lionheart makes my favorite kombucha, and I’ve tried many brands! I love that Lionheart kombucha is dry and low in sugar. I prefer to go to their warehouse and by cases of 12 bottles for $35.. it’s much better than paying $4 a bottle at new seasons.“

“The best beer bar in Portland as far as I'm concerned.Welcoming atmosphere, friendly peeps, and GREAT beers, both on tap and packaged. Prices are extremely reasonable. There's usually a 3rd party food vendor, but you can also bring your own. And they've been open everyday for the last 5000+ days!If you like beer and/or bar culture, you should have already visited this place. But if you haven't, there's no time like the present!“

“Great atmosphere and service! Disappointing Rueben sandwich , but otherwise worth checking out .“

“The trivia night event here was very fun and well-attended!“

“Gotta say, this place is always a great time. Some of the most fun and interesting beers I've ever gotten to enjoy.Victoria was helping us for the evening, and was so very kind, interactive, and personable. She did an amazing job, and I highly recommend stopping by.“
