50 Best Craft Breweries near Lake Oswego

“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.“

“Great beer and sours! Staff is awesome!“

“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!“

“This place is worth a stop! The beer, the weekend pizza and the atmosphere is great. Stuffed inside of a repurposed building, it looks like a manufacturing building on the outside.

Oh, did I mention the sandwiches during the weekdays. Those are pretty tasty too.

I'll come back once I try some food here and it's not good.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Always great service, food and beer. My favorite place to go for lunch.“

“Hands down, Portland's best beer. It's not even close. Even when they drop a style I don't like, it's great. The IPA's and barrel aged stout are simply magic.

I have an appreciation for the Satanic theme of the location, beer names, and vibe. It's fun! They partner well with food purveyors in their kitchen spot. Staff are friendly. There's a decent patio. And they rock the dark Metal.

Prepare to pay, but every drop is worth it.“

“The gluten free food here is some of the best I've ever had. You'd never guess it's gluten free. The fried chicken is crunchy, moist as you bite into it and flavorful. Even better are the fish and chips. If you have celiacs and want to eat food you've not had in years this is the place. The beers are gluten free and delicious.“

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

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Spacey brewery with a large selection of beers, a decent food menu, other drink options, and affordable prices. There are two sections of seating available, one with table service and one where you order from a QR code. I’m not sure if there was bar seating there or now. The burger was good but the fries are what made the dish, and I really enjoyed the beee that I had. Would definitely come here again if I ever find myself in Portland again!“

“Wow!! What an amazing meal! My family met some friends for dinner and were treated to some wonderful food. The service was great thanks to a wonderful host! We will be back for sure :)

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for family, kids, and friendly dogs.“

“Honestly my go to brewery, the beer brought me in but the staff and food kept me. I can’t possible recommend vanguard enough.“

“Pet friendly, great pizza!!“

“This is another gem in the McMenamins line of fun, historical establishments - and by far my favorite! Been here many times over the years - actually even had my very first lobster roll EVER here (as a special item years ago) and it was amazing. The vibe is so quirky - you definitely feel like you’re walking the halls of your old elementary school - except there are bars and a lively restaurant and even a brewery haha!! The staff has always been super welcoming and friendly. The food at their main Courtyard Restaurant has always been great. On my last visit (July 2023), I had their chicken salad sandwich on croissant and it was SO GOOD!! Even their tater tots were perfectly cooked. And they even have some of the best iced tea I’ve had outside of the south! Their menu changes seasonally so it’s always a treat to try something new. After eating, leave time to explore - the grounds are just gorgeous and you’ll get lost in the nostalgia as you wander around the old school’s hallways. They have several bars - one is huge and has total steampunk vibes. They have a small hotel and a salt water pool - even the bathrooms are beautiful. I’d definitely like to stay here next time - but I imagine it can be a tad spooky at night haha! The school opened back in 1915 so it’s a historic building. The wall art is gorgeous and there are lots of info signs and historical pics scattered around. It’s in a good location in north Portland with plenty of parking and easy to find. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“

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

“LOVING WHAT I'M SEEING! 🎉
PLUS the Vegetarian offerings! *chef's kiss!* 🍻

It's not easy being a Local Small Business in Portland, Oregon, PNW to say the absolute least. In my oh-so-humble opinion, Portland Peeps don't seem to get that.
Anytime I read a negative review I genuinely wonder if...or how hard they tried to convey that information to the staff/management DURING THEIR VISIT; likely not.
Quit yer bitchin' online and GO AND SUPPORT YOUR SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES SO THEY CAN STAY IN BUSINESS! ✌️🍻“

“Hazy’s for days. This is a must if you’re into hazy! Cheers 🍻“

“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.“

“What a great selection of beers!“

“Amazing service, great atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding beer! Thank you, I will be back! #flygirl“

“DOG FRIENDLY! It’s a brewery in a warehouse so, while I WISH the menu was better, they’re probably very limited on what they can do. The vibes are cool - it can get extremely busy fast after 4:30pm and can be loud from the warehouse echo space. I’ve brought friends who said they were overstimulated. Sometimes they have trivia which is fun. You can reserve axe-throwing from a 3rd party which is also fun. They offer beer and wine.“

“I traded with $500 in my wallet after seeing so many testimonies and recommendation here on Facebook and YouTube about Mrs Cathy Frederick after mining and trading in my account. I opened my wallet and got a profit of $6000 in 7 working days made my withdrawal successfully Mrs Cathy Frederick has changed many life's including mine am grateful ma you are a truly a woman with a heart of a raw gold. I want to thank you for your help and love you showed me when I was very poor, now you have made my life so beautiful you're the best manager I can recommend everyone to work with, thank you MrsCathy Frederick“

“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.“

“Dropped in to have some lunch and I was not disappointed. I had the Ricky Ricotta Detroit style Pizza which was delicious. Every weekday a specific flavor is on sale for lunch if you want to try it sometime with a little less investment.

They have free Wi-Fi, the bathrooms are clean, and the vibe is casual and fun.“

“Home made beers, Reuben sandwich and pastrami sandwich“

“Very cool tour - great tour guide and well worth the price. Highly recommend you go early and get a piece of pizza by the slice - the pizza is an absolutely fantastic and proper New York style slice pizza.“
