“Hands down Shane, Nicole , Sadie, Miles and the rest of the crew are absolutely some of the best humans I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. I’ve been coming to Portland my entire life but most recently in a professional capacity since August of 2025, these guys and gals have alway gone above and beyond my expectations no matter the amount of bodies in the establishment. If you are every in the area do yourself a favor stop by eat, drink, and be merry.“

“Our first time here and the beer was good! The food ops are endless with all the food carts! The place was hopping for a Friday night and it is family and pet friendly. I couldn’t believe how many kids there were!“

“We had the most incredible time on Friday. It was pouring and we sat at the bar and on their covered patio. The beer was incredible, cocktails out of this world, and the best cider. Andrew was our bartender and I tell you we’ve never had service that good. We also had the honor of meeting the brew master and it was so fun to learn about his masterpieces! Music was great. That was our first time there, it’s clear there is quite a following with regulars. Plenty of space! We felt welcomed. Highly recommended from us!“

“This place rocks. Beautifully designed interior that feels clean with a soothing cool. But those drinks!!! Love the lime-infused lager for the summer, so fresh! I crave it on warm days and wish we had it in stores! And the proprietors are just hands-down rad humans!“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“My family loves coming to the Beer Library! The trivia is great on Tuesdays. The beer is always cold and changes often so we can try all kinds. The staff is all super friendly and know in beer. Will let you try it before you get a big glass so you know what you are getting. Amazing!“

“Our running group, Eastwind run from here from time to time. When we end our run it’s time to drink and eat. Great beer and cider selection and they let you bring in food from local places around Gresham. Two thumbs up and a hip bump.“

“Shepherds pies was great, Corned beef and cabbage amazing… great beers and the bread pudding…. Delicious. Great atmosphere and the Bartender was friendly and took great care of us.“

“The pupusas are delicious the OG is my favorite“

“Best Taco Tuesday deal in the Portland area. The Pork tacos are out of this world good! The rotating, home made salsa is a great idea. Way better than out of the jar salsa served at other places.
Also love the beer varieties. There are multiple dark beers and IPA's on tap along with red, lager, cider, and others.
Keep up the good work!“

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

“This is the best beer in town. Love everything about the brewery! They allow well behaved dogs and children.

My one qualm is the children. There should be a rule about well behaved children bc the parents who let their kids destroy the building should not be allowed here imo.

Kids are gonna be wild, but the lack of awareness from the adults that come here with their kids is the one downside of this place tbh.

Love the staff and the pizza. Stop making their lives harder by being a disrespectful adult and bringing your shitty kids here. Ya I’m talking to you guy who’s kid spilled their beer and you gave a one star review saying another customer spilled it.

If I could review that guy one star for gaslighting I would.“

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

“The IPAs wete so good!! We'll definitely be back!!“

“I like to leave reviews when a place is good. I'm literally still seated here enjoying this amazing pizza. Staff are very nice, pizza is delicious, idk what is in this ranch but I've never had a ranch with this amazing flavor profile. There's a lot of open space and chill Gothic tunes playing. 100/10 I will be bringing people here.“

“Contactless equals lack of the human interaction.“

“top shelf beers. drink them all. well ok just the ones you will like.“

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

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

“Great place!
Love to come here before a concert at the Moda Center and have a drink while people are going in since I'm never in a big hurry.
Friends love the huge beer selection and I love the ciders and wines they offer.“

“😁what is the shelf life?“

“Always a great brewery and a nice spot down town to pop in for a beer and a pretzel. IPAs are their Forte. I had the vienna lager which is great albeit a hoppy vienna. They just won 2 more medals at GABF this year so pop in for a pint or 3. They medaled on the breakside IPA so grab a pour.“

“Friendly, kind bartender, delicious cider (Bauman's never misses), lots of beer and non-alcoholic options, and NO GLUTEN. What else could anyone ask for from a gluten-free brewery? Thank you!

PLEASE read the owner's responses to bad reviews, delightful“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“I really enjoyed this pod! There are 8+ different places to eat and the food here is wonderful. My wife and I personally tried , "flew the coop" and "La Arepa" and both had great service and the food was delicious. The attached brewery had an amazing selection of beers. The only detractor was that there was A Lot of very hoppy beers. That is a personal preference though. The Beer I did have was delicious. It's very family friendly and I enjoyed it.“

“My husband and I wandered in here on a whim on a Friday night and ended up being pleasantly surprised by the food! We both had Gorges burgers and I had a Mt. Defiance imperial IPA. The burger was cooked to perfection and the beer was delicious. Service was great, too. We’ll be back!“

“Love this place! Jen and the whole crew are so friendly, welcoming and just overall kind people. The food was fantastic, from the burgers to salads to the pretzel and pizza and chicken tenders on the kids menu, everything was fresh, homemade and delicious. We tried the beer sampler- it did not disappoint- huge variety, loved the hazy. Even the cab was amazing, which is not usually the case when you visit a brewery. We will def be back - this place ROCKS!!!“

“Awesome brewery experience unlike any other in Portland. Ambiance was amazing and one of a kind giving you almost like a dark medieval type vibe with metal music playing in the background. Not to mention all the beers were amazing proving that this isn't just some gimmicky place. It definitely has the vibes and the beers to match. Staff was super helpful and nice in recommending some popular choices based on my taste and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're into good beer and into goth vibey places.“

“Stopped here on our way to Eugene to move our daughter into U of O. Delicious food super friendly staff. Go Ducks!!!!!!“

“Pet friendly, great pizza!!“

“My great nephew was playing drums in a large band to a packed house upstairs in Crystal Ballroom. A dozen or so of assorted family had come to Portland to partake and as the matinee was wrapping up in the late afternoon I said to the drummers mom, who was kind of our ring-leader, I'd go downstairs and stake out a big table for all of us to eat. Shortly after sitting at the largest table in the farthest from the bar corner of the side room, the bartender came to tell me they weren't really staffed to be serving in that room. I told him I had maybe a dozen people coming down from upstairs and we'd be an easy, forgiving crowd. He looked dubious, and said he'd need to check with the manager. He was back quickly putting out menus and arranging chairs. Our final number was ten, and our only server was this same guy who was also one of maybe two bartenders for the whole place. As he took our orders he said it would likely take up to an hour for the kitchen to produce our food, because dozens of people from upstairs had come in as well. Our drinks came quickly, and the food arrived in much less time than he suggested. Every order was correct. To my knowledge everybody liked what they ordered and the prices seemed about right. He did not seem in the slightest rattled by adding our big group to his personal workload and came back a few times to see how were all doing and take additional orders for drinks. And the drummer and the rest of us we were out of there well in time for the evening show at 8:00. I don't know if this really is an excellent place, but it sure was for us.“

“If you are looking to host a private event in Portland, look no further than StormBreaker! We were looking for months for a spot to host a Friday night welcome event for our wedding and so many places we spoke with were either was flaky, expensive or couldn't accommodate 100 people, particularly in the case of rain. I found StormBreaker about a month before the event and they turned out to be perfect! They rented us their private room and reserved a portion of their enclosed/heated patio for us as well. We had a dedicated server for the party and ultimately didn't have to pay them anything for the space beyond the food and drink we ordered. They were super communicative and easy to work with in the lead-up to the party as well. I could not be happier about how the night went!“

“Great little brewery. Repurposed house built into a restaurant. Cozy vibes. If you like sours there's tons of selection. Didn't get to try the pizza, but it looks homemade and hearty. Smelt amazing.

Outdoor and indoor seating. Outdoor fireplace and heaters for the cold.

They also have boardgames.

Classic Portland.“

“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.“

“Fun ghost tour then pizza.“

“Home made beers, Reuben sandwich and pastrami sandwich“

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

“Food is fabulous. Melissa is friendly and comfortable to talk with. The menu is small, but we always find something to order and enjoy. Best hidden gem in OC!“

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

“We wanted to find something fun and simple for our anniversary dinner and McMenamins was it. We walked in and it was quiet, fire going. It was perfect.
Their seasonal cocktails were amazing.
And the food tasted PERFECT.
I asked for an extra coaster just to have as a little keepsake for our anniversary date and our server gave us 3!
Thank you guys! We will be back.“

“Only just discovered this location (new to the neighborhood), so only been a few times so far. Each time we've tried something new and have not been disappointed yet. The food has been made fresh and hot every time. Menu is small but has a good variety. Beers have been great. Service has been wonderful every time. Looking forward to becoming a regular.“

“We stopped in for appetizers and beers. Aurora was an absolute delight! Probably the best server I've ever had. She recommended kamikaze shots, which were delicious. The pork egg rolls were divine. This is a great local spot for good food and great service! We need more servers who are warm and friendly like Aurora!!!“

“We had the Charcuterie. It was good. They had friendly staff, good selection of beer at a fair price, and the facility was big and roomy including the outside seating. We will probably be back to try the pizza. The pizzas seem kind of small for the price they are charging.“

“Not the typical renovated property, but everything is on point here. Great food, service, even if the interior is so, well, terrible.

It looks like they didn't bother to do anything to the space.

Really sad.“
