7 Best Craft Breweries in Astoria

“Get the fish-wich. I felt an almost childlike nostalgia for the best fish sandwich I had up to this point - knowing this was better. Simple and just right.

Unfortunately (post Astoria 10k) they were way behind. So tables became very competitive. They need shades for that blazing sun. And honestly- the chowder was ho-hum. But…that fish-wich….“

“You need to check this brewery out.We stopped by here to check out the new kid on the brewing block in Astoria, and we were pleasantly surprised.We bought a taster of all 7 beers they had on tap at the time, and all were well-executed brews. Only 2 IPAs, which is always refreshing to those of us who drink something else besides unbalanced hop bombs. But even both their IPAs were really good.The gem is the English Best Bitter, served on a beer engine.Serious kudos to them for keeping this exceedingly rare beer and serving style alive in America!Their dry Irish stout deserves mention for its high roastiness but lighter body to keep it from being too filling.Another must-try is their Saison. Oh man it’s rare to find a commercial example of this style that’s as well balanced as their Chit Chat Saison. Hoppy, Belgiany, fruity esters galore, and a smooth frothy carbonation that my wife and I fought over the last couple sips of our taster version.We can’t wait to see what they brew up next!“

“This was one of our favorite breweries, if not the best, that we tried on our two week tour of the PNW. Excellent beer and very chill atmosphere. Our server was great and we got to meet the brewer. Both were a joy. Don't let the building fool you. This place is worth it.“

“Yet another great brewery addition in Astoria! It's a spacious indoors with a couple televisions and lots of bar seating. There are a few picnic tables out front and the front doors roll up to make the inside open air for warmer days.The beer is always top notch at Breakside; this visit was no exception. I only had the wedge salad but the Mama Lil's Peppers set it off. The service was great as well. Highly recommend a stop when in Astoria if you're new to or familiar with Breakside.“

“Always a favorite when I'm doing laundry I'm sure many husbands would agree as they tell their wives that the washing machine is broken I have to go down to the laundromat to do laundry oh darn what should I do while I wait LOL true story“

“Nice and friendly atmosphere.“

“Ate there 2x with family during a visit to Astoria. Everyone enjoyed the food. Chicken sandwich was great and a lot to eat. Others enjoyed the rueben, the fondue which also comes with a lot of apple slices to dip. We ended up going back because everyone liked it. Prices were a bit high in my opinion but it's a nice venue and staff is friendly.“
