The great beers speak for themselves. The Tacos are next level.

Such a great spot, hidden away from the noise of the street. Great draft options for everyone and the fries are to die for!

We had a great time here with our daughter and son-in-law. The sour flight was delightful! Our daughter and son-in-law come here often and they had even talked with them about catering their wedding. Sadly, they don't do their breakfast tacos in a catering situation and the breakfast tacos are their favorite, so they went with a different option. I gave five stars for service, because everyone we interacted with was delightful, but it is a situation where you scan at the table to order beverages and they bring them out, but you do have to go inside to place a food order on a tablet. That is not my favorite restaurant model, because after a long day of work, I would prefer complete table service, but we knew it would be that way going in and like I said, the servers were very friendly and on top of delivering our beverages and food once we had placed our orders. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely return! All of the beverages we tried were spectacular and the food was delicious!

Self order tacos but very good.
All beer was very good and we tried several. Lots of beer options! 2nd visit to Portland and they are on top for good beer!

Other than being difficult to spot from the street, this is an absolute gem of a pub! Kid and dog friendly! Brews are delicious!

I love this particular brewery! They have some of the best flavors and brews hands down and some pretty impressive merch.

Definitely do a flight and get a few things to try. I'm a big sour fan, so I definitely enjoy the flavors they bring.

Friendly staff, good service, decent snack style food with food cart adjacent.

Coolest thing about Great Notion is the variety of beers they generate. Buy a blueberry muffin beer for a treat.

We did 2 completely different flights of beer and generally loved most of them. We also got the tacos, and my little brother gobbled them down. All and all a great experience the only reason a small down vote on the service is because you dont interact a whole lot with the staff so im not sure how you would rate service but everyone smiled at us so I'd say that's a great plus!

Stopped by Great Notion Brewing - Alberta before heading to the airport and WOW, what a treat! 🍺 Both beers were crisp, cold, and super flavorful — exactly what we needed to wrap up our Portland trip. The vibe inside is casual but cool, with friendly staff and just the right energy. Loved the glassware too – cute logo and good pour 😍

Highly recommend this spot whether you’re a beer geek or just looking for a chill spot to hang. We’ll definitely be back next time! Cheers to Portland 🍻💛
