16 Best Craft Breweries near Troutdale

“Gorgeous grounds that you can spend hours walking. This property was formerly a work farm for the local poor. It has been repurposed as a vineyard, hotel, spa, restaurant, bar, golf course and more! There are many events held here but it is absolutely worth a visit even if you don't plan to stay the night. Check out the wine cellar or espresso bar for some great local options, or head inside to the gift shop for some kitschy finds.“

“We attended McMenamin’s Wassail Cider fest in January so we wanted to try more of their ciders and this is what popped up online. We got the cider flight and the red wine flight, both of which were really good. However, the wine flight they gave us 2 of the 4 glasses, then told us to come back to the back for the other 2, which was a bit weird and honestly I wasn’t a fan of. The service was also pretty lackluster, it was walk up service, which seems to be pretty common in the PNW so we’ve grown accustomed to it, but when its walk up service, I expect a little more when I do come to the bar to order. There were two employees, a blonde woman that I’d guess was in her 20s and a middle aged gentleman. The woman was very nice and enthusiastic and seemed eager to help, but the man seemed like he was doing everything he could to avoid serving guests; when I returned to the bar for the second half of our wine flight, he noticed me, but proceeded to drink water, pace around, look in the storage closet, take a step towards me, turn around, take his sweatshirt off, look around again, then finally came up. As a bartender myself, it seemed like all the things that someone does when they don’t want to help a guest, so they try to waste as much time as possible until another co-worker comes to help them. The vibe was pretty cool being in the basement with glass windows all around so you could see the wine barrels, but it was a bit too dark in my opinion, which made it seem kind of dingy being in the basement. I also wasn’t a fan that when you walk in, there are no signs or menus, just brochures advertising other McMenamin’s properties, and the bar is very small with standing room only and very crowded. It reminded me of a busy college bar where I had to fight through to order drinks, but in this case I had to do that just to see a menu, let alone order a drink; not exactly the experience I want from a tasting room. Overall though, it was still unique experience and I’m sure it would be really cool to stay on property, but I don’t think I’d go back.“

“Stopped in to check it out. They have a little bar called the Red Shed. Very cool little bar thay sells cigars. Inside and outdoor seating but only smoking available outside. The McMenamins locations are super cool and this one is one of the best. It's huge with its own winery, brewery and lots of gardens and cool hotel and restaurants. If you're looking for an amazing place to check out this needs to be on your list. Very close to PDX and plenty of parking. Check it out...you'll like it. I guarantee it!“

“Incredible people and incredible beer! Love the menu diversity and haven't had a bad beer yet! Favorite spot to frequent and they take such good care of you!“

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

“This is a very cool little stop for a quick pint and a place to chill. MadCow Brewing Co. has a small food and snack menu and a rotating tap list. I recommend the huckleberry cream ale. The staff is very friendly. They host trivia nights and fun events, and food trucks stop by on some nights. A great local spot to hang out.“

“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.“

“Boring Brewing is Sandy’s best kept secret! The atmosphere is super relaxed, the game is always on, and the beer is top-notch. Chef Jeff’s rotating menu never disappoints — every visit brings something new and delicious. We love bringing the kids; they have a great time playing games on the covered patio or hanging out near the big roll-up doors. It’s the perfect spot for a casual night out with the family or catching up with friends. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“😁what is the shelf life?“

“Cool people, great beers!“

“I strongly recommend the mushroom Stromboli and apple honey crisp cider“

“Great beer and food selection. I had the club sandwich and the lager. Both were perfect! The staff is also lovely and they have live music twice a week.“

“Great place to hang with friends and delicious beverages!“

“Drinks, food and service is always great! I’ve grown accustomed to driving to Camas for dinner or catching the bus over for a drink from Curt the bartender. My favorites are the weekly sandwich specials since I’m usually there for dinner, Brussel Sprouts and the wings. For drinks, the old fashioned and sometimes the whiskey sour when I don’t drive myself.

Worthy of trying and hopefully falling for the great staff and menu like I have!“

“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.“

“This is our local pub and the default place to grab drinks and dinner after a long week. There's always a great selection of local beers on draft, and the seasonal cocktails are a favorite. I often order the Blue Bayou salad, the Portland dip sandwich, or the Captain Neon burger, always with tots. Sadly the Scooby Snacks are no longer available here, so we'll occasionally travel to McMenamins locations further afield for those.
The staff are always friendly and helpful. If I have one criticism, it's that they often seem understaffed here, with one server to wait all the tables and tend bar. But ultimately it doesn't matter, I'll be going here until I die.“
