I know this has been done before, and will likely be done again, but the wife and I are headed up to Portland for the week of July 4th. We are staying in the downtown area, but not afraid to get on public Trans to get to a new brewery. Suggestions would be appreciated, both what not to miss and what not to waste my time on. Thanks :mug:
 
My absolute favorite place in Portland for beer and food is Stammtisch.
 
Cascade, Great Notion, Modern Times, Hair of the Dog.

And go out to Hood River and visit pFriem. Or McMinnville to visit Heater Allen.
 
Cascade for sours

Horse Brass for fish n chips and great tap list

Loyal Legion for ~99 Oregon-made beers/ciders on tap.

All relatively close to each other in SE Portland.
 
If you are talking just breweries, not tap houses:
Cascade for sours.
Great Notion- especially hazy IPAs, but also imperial stouts and sours.
Upright- farmhouse, barrel aged, sours.
Breakside- everything, but especially barrel aged, culinary inspired, IPAs.
Hopworks- everything, with a real Portland feel.
 
Of course, Stammtisch doesn't have any Oregon or Portland beers on tap...

Exactly.. and that's what I like most about it. Instead they have quite a few very well made fresh German beers on tap.
 
I am planning on a trip to the coast (Astoria). Is St. George a brewery or just something to see? Thanks, "mug"

It's an awesome brewery in Astoria. Great stouts and IPAs along with very good food. If you go, visit Buoy and Reach Break breweries too. De Garde is a LONG drive south from there to Tillamook, but nationally ranked high on Rate Beer because of their sour program and well worth it. Astoria is likely to be a solid 2 hour drive or a little more from Portland, so tough to do for a day trip.

Thanks for the info, if we make it to Astoria I'll definitely check out St. George and some of the other breweries :mug:
 
We stayed in Portland (with one day in Vancouver WA). Our hotel was in the pearl. It was like 5 or 6 breweries within 10 blocks. I had a flight in at least 20+ breweries. Had a great time and lots of good beer and ciders. First stop was descutes, then 10 barrel. Stormbreaker and HUB are two I remember, but not really the beer. Too many to list, but had a great time. I'd love to go back soon. Thanks for asking. :mug:
 
Good for you. To be honest, a WEEK LONG stay in Portland is probably not long enough to hit all the great breweries !!
