Threshold Brewing & Blending

Went to threshold brewing. I didn't have a beverage. Just gris gris Gumbo and the bread that was provided. Nothing else. Within two hours at home,had stomach upset. Then came the diarrhea. Then I vomited up all the gumbo and bread
Nothing else. Just took Alka Seltzer and warm seven up. Feeling better now it's all out of me. Guest cooks need to know fresh ingredients are best and keeping food up to temperature is a must. Sad.... Ruined my evening. Will go back to threshold brewing again.but never eat there while they have guest cooks or chef's. Waste of time and money. And yes, I tipped them.

Our beautiful Portland weather window is closing fast, so we took a motorcycle ride down to the Montavilla neighbourhood... and found Threshold Brewing & Blending. Perfect spot for us, we wanted a good beer and a light snack. Enter the Zapiekanka, which is a toasted baguette with mushrooms and Polish cheese. Hubby had the kielbasa version, and I had the Classic. And my lucky day, the Classic came spooky - see photo - just in time for Hallowe'en! The beer is amazing, I had the Perun, a Polish dark lager, and hubby had the Neptune, a Baltic porter. I could easily have scarfed down another zapiekanka, they are so good, but if I have another of those we'll need another beer, and we're on a motorcycle, sooo.... Next time we'll drive our car and pace ourselves!

Some of the best beers in town. Owner is a great guy.

My fiancé and I used to live down the street from this brewery and frequented the taproom for several years. It was our absolute favorite spot in Montavilla - excellent brews and vibes, and the very best staff. After moving north last year, we thought it would be fun to have our engagement party here last weekend, and it was EXCELLENT! The owner Sara went above and beyond to help me get details sorted and the price was incredibly fair and competitive. Sara stayed in communication with me through the day of the party, and we were able to rent out the space for three hours with about 30-40 of our close friends and family. Our server Taylor was so quick and efficient, and very kind to our guests. I somehow forgot plates and forks for the appetizers that we brought in, and he had it taken care of in seconds. Everyone ate their share of delicious zapiekankas and drank their share of quality beers (Good Dog Guava will forever be one of our most favorite beers in the world!!). Everything went off smoothly and our engagement party was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you Sara and Taylor for being a part of such a fun day ❤️ I cannot recommend Threshold enough. Our loved ones have heard us rave about this place for years and I’m so glad we finally got to share it with them.

Great people, great food, great beer, great seating, family friendly and very community connected.

Another brewery in Montavilla? You betcha. They make a fine beer as well. I only had time for one beer, but it was good and look forward to having more!

I’ll try to stick to just facts here:
1) If you order a beer for outside they pour 12oz; if you drink inside you get a full pint—same price either way. The server poured me about 11oz in a 12oz cup with no head. The bartender’s excuse was “these are the only plastic cups we have…”. So if you intend to drink outside be prepared to pay full price for ~30% less beer. Pathetic.
2) Only 1 person working the counter despite it being a block party/event night. It wasn’t even that busy but there was still a noticeable wait.
3) The server had NO clue what a Northwest IPA was (probably because they don’t make any that aren’t either hazy, juicy, or imperial). At least she wasn’t able to suggest an IPA alternative to the hazy/juicy choices on the tap list. Call me old school…
4) It was moist and damp inside, like a locker room. Air conditioning clearly needs help. I don’t care if you’re brewing beer in there or not. Do better. It felt gross on a warm day. This should probably be point #1. It was noticeable immediately.
Lastly) The sad graffiti on the street patio boards hadn’t been painted over nearly a year later (based on the poet graffiti artist inscription). Apropos, is it not?

Open mic night in saturday...lots of guitars pluckers and singers...very laid back and friendly ambience...lots of beers on tap...

Ricky was awesome and very professional great vibe. Thank you for kombucha ??✨

The boss is a very enthusiastic Polish winemaker. The wines he makes are very unique and very delicious. I like them. Maggie, the bartender, is very friendly to the customers. Definitely one of my favorite wineries.

Very cool vibes at Threshold! The beer selection is fun and the bartender was very chill.There’s not much food selection here, but the area does have plenty of places to get something to eat.We went on a Friday which I think is karaoke night! It was fun for the time we were there, but very loud! There was outdoor seating, but it is not heated so dress warm.

The beer and the food were both fantastic! Don't let the limited food menu fool you, the food is mind blowing while being comfort food. Plus the bartender was super chill and great to talk to

Great brewery, they nail a bunch of styles — IPAs, stouts, and pilsners.

Cute place, dog friendly. Tried the pumpkin pie sour beer, pretty good if you are in the mood for a fall flavor beer!

The pilsner was clearly infected, smelled like a gose (sour). Two IPAs I tried were mid at best. Dark lager was good, and I’ve enjoyed their Neptune Porter in the past. Cute little spot, but it’s really unfortunate that the only places that can stay open these days seem to just have money invested, and can’t actually make good beer.
