50 Best Craft Breweries in Portland

“Great beer and sours! Staff is awesome!“

“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.“

“Good Vibes and staff is friendly.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Basically everything you’re looking for in a bar and food spot without the concern of what you can eat and drink. Allergens be gone here. Best fried chicken and fries, and the beer flight was phenomenal. The service is spot on. No regrets. Will be back.“

“This place is great! Came in on a Saturday while a bike swap was happening. Fun atmosphere and nice people. 🍕🍺 The beers were excellent, and the Veggie and The #4 pizzas were both delicious. We also shared the house salad, highly recommend.“

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

“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!“

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

“Wonderful space with delicious beers that has a dog friendly outdoor area (they are not allowed inside the brewery) with plenty of seating. They also allow outside food. Can come have a beer and play some of their board games. They do not have many options for those who do not drink beer/alcohol though outside of water.“

“A little tricky to order a beer. I use the QR to order, the clerk says that didn't receive, I share the receipt, the credit card statement...what adventure just to order a beer 😅.
It worth swinging by inside, order and grab the beer. Good atmosphere at the beer garden, by the way...“

“great place with a sky bar, I don't know what was wrong with the waitress, she could have been waaay more polite, didn't say one word and she looked very annoyed
food was very well made, although the meat did not come medium but well-done“

“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.“

“What's not to love about Mayfly?! Mayfly always has one of the best draft and bottle selections in the Portland area that always feels new every time I come in. Prices are excellent, staff and the owner are wonderful people, and there are plenty of great events to check out each week. Also a great selection of food vendors during the weekend. I live in Vancouver and bike here regularly because It's my favorite spot within miles.“

“Possibly the best chicken tenders I've ever had. Juicy and crunchy in all of the best ways. So much better than the frozen stuff most places serve.

Good beer selection and killer seating in the garden if weather is nice.“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

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

“Came here for lunch and made me a forever fan of the brisket tacos. In my over 50 years of life I have never tasted anything that comes close to these tacos! AMAZINGLY PERFECT!! They nailed it!!“

“I came into this location today while I was having a panick attack and feeling unwell due to the heat, and the 2 gentleman that were working (I didn’t catch there names) were so kind, they let me and my friend sit in a private room where a fan was to cool off. I wanted to thank them for their kindness!! Thank you.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

“This is my husband’s favorite brewery and the staff are so friendly. There is always so many drink options that change regularly when they brew new beers. Very dog friendly (the dogs are allowed inside) and kid friendly. Big projector screen when big sporting events are on TV. Weekends there is INCREDIBLE pizza available that is to die for. Highly recommend this brewery.“

“I heard from the gentleman behind the bar of a Prime Rib special every Sunday at 4pm on a first time visit. I returned on a Sunday a few weeks later for the special. I arrived early and told the barkeep I was there for the prime rib. I requested the center cut and they obliged. It was a delicious cut of meat and the sides were equally well prepared. A five star experience. I sat at the bar and enjoyed their diverse draft selection and could not be more pleased with the evening I spent at Stormbreaker Brewing. Will return again.“

“Contactless equals lack of the human interaction.“

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

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

“Good place really good food ahi tuna was great“

“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.“

“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“

“Sweet staff. Great space. AWESOME beer.“

“I stopped with my wife and a friend after the “No Kings” demonstration. The place was packed. Our order was delayed and we had to send back an order that wasn’t ours. We finally got our order after a long wait. When I complained, the manager comped one of our sandwiches and gave me a gift card for my next visit. I feel that this situation was handled very well and I look forward to returning.“

“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.“

“We had our wedding here and it was great! Kelli is absolutely fantastic to work with and her enthusiasm and passion and thoughtfulness was amazing. The food was delicious, and I would highly recommend a ceremony on Government Cove - the view and space is fantastic! Setup and the Event went smoothly. There were a couple little hiccups (water service with dinner, tip jar despite already tipping in advance), but they were minimal and overall I would highly recommend using them for your event. We had a small wedding with just a hair over 40 people and their pricing was very competitive.“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

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

“What a great selection of beers!“

“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“

“First time here trying out the local brewery. I ordered the Maui POG hard seltzer, which is only served in a can. It tastes like POG. Plus it is gluten free, 100 cals and less than a gram of sugar per can. The food is amazing too. I ordered the #4 burger. Plus the live band playing adds an extra ambiance.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always the best variety of beer, both on tap and in the fridge. This is the spot for the beer enthusiast in this part of Portland. And they are open every day, including Christmas!“

“Home made beers, Reuben sandwich and pastrami sandwich“

“Fun ghost tour then pizza.“
