Portland is known for its craft beer culture and there are tons of breweries. So, grab a cold one wherever you are. There's probably a brewery or taproom next door. Some of our favorites include: 10 Barrel- Get a flight and try them all! Rogue- Unique beers, cool vibes, the BEST cheese curds Great Notion- The blueberry muffin beer is amazing Fort George- Not in the Portland area and located in Astoria. But our absolute FAV! Deschutes- Always a classic, really cool space downtown Cascade- Location of our FIRST date! Known for their sours and barrel aged beers. Migration- Alyssa's beer of choice: Mo-haze-ic, Kyle's beer of choice: Straight Outta Portland Breakside- One of the top rated breweries in PDX Ex Novo- If on tap try: Going Postal or the Cactus Wins the Lottery Basecamp- Even if you don't like stouts, try the S'mores stout - it comes with a roasted marshmallow! Three Mugs & Vertigo- Some Hillsboro breweries we like to go to.
