Away Days is a small brewery with a small indoor seating area, and a medium size outdoor seating area, half covered. They do have sports on the screen including in the outdoor covered area. They have a sports viewing schedule, which they don't follow, but sure you could request your game. The outdoor area is popular with dogs and their companion humans. They are doing well with their brewing, even planning on an expansion and they can their beers too. There is a food cart parked in the outdoor area, not sure the menu for that. I came for a pop up by Williams Good Sandwich / Eat Williams Food. They are a significant piece of fried chicken coated by Williams barbecue sauce. The chicken was perfectly tender and on a good bun. The chicken breading stays crunchy, even when coated by the glistening sauce, and there were some great spicy pickles to go with it. The Williams menu is in the photos. I had a chat with William. He pops up regularly around town as you can find on his socials. His bottled barbecue sauce is still a small business, so not yet in stores. He is a young food entrepreneur to keep an eye on and consider for your events or inviting to pop up near you. read more

Had only two ciders, one in a can which online was described as funky. The one on draft said semi dry but the bartender gave me a taste and wasn't too dry and no weird flavor. So I got a small glass, maybe half a pint for like $5 so not bad. Lots of TVs for sports games. Long tall tables and people willing to share. Nice to have a burger from the food cart outside while being warm and dry with a drink instead. All good in my books. Friendly bartender and friendly patrons. read more

Great little spot tucked into a neighborhood with super welcoming service and delicious beer. My highlight coming here was the fact that they were showing premier league matches at the brewery and the smash burger I had from the food cart in the back. That was probably the best smash burger I've had in Portland. Would highly recommend coming here and picking up a burger and a pint. read more

Small brewery tucked into a neighborhood. I came here because I wanted to try their beer and visit the adjacent smashburger cart. The bartender was really friendly and let me sample a couple options before deciding. The beer was good. Grabbed a table with a friend and enjoyed our time. It got pretty loud inside so the space could benefit from some cloth on the walls to minimize the sound. I'd come back again. read more

Came to this cozy brewery in Buckman. It has a limited amount on tap, but what they have is good. Away Days has gotten many awards. For the quality it's pretty good prices. They still manage to have quite a variety on tap. A small space making it tough for a crowd. It's pretty cramped in here. There's only a few seats at the bar and no tables. Got some of the interesting sounding beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best of these was the Crown And Anchor Cream Ale. This was light and smooth. Have to make an update about this business. It's moving. They have closed the taproom on SE 10th Avenue, and are moving to another location, so check for updates on the website. read more

Cute brewery in SouthEast with a fun backyard/outdoor area to hang in. Went late on a Friday afternoon and it was packed! Removed one star cause it can feel cramped.. but I'm happy they are thriving. Beers were great (had the Hazy IPA) and loved the fun vibes. Burger truck on site was good too! read more

It's 6am and in search of a place to gather and watch the Olympic Women's quarter final soccer game, USA vs. Japan. Away Days was our spot to start with some coffee and end with a pulled cider. A kind patron brought some delcious donuts, but I'm not here to write about those. Service is excellent, the environment is spacious and clean, allowing for watching some sports on TVs that seem a bit small for my likings as I watch USA move ahead into the semi-finals. I'm pretty sure that if you are stopping by here you are hoping to have some great beer, served by great staff, and enjoy some time with friends or family. Away Days is a great spot for any and all events. Support your local brewery and get on over to Away Days Brewing. For those of you with babies, there is a changing table in the bathroom. They are very family friendly! read more

This is a great place to just enjoy a beer. It is very neighborhood oriented and I haven't had a bad beer here. Their cask conditioned beers are outstanding. read more

Cute little brewery tucked back on a side street in SE Portland. Friendly service and great suggestions because this fickle girl loves everything from hazy to stout. We visited on a sunny Saturday and sat in the back near the super cool mural and Champs Burger food cart. I chose the Cora Pilsner which paired perfectly with my double smash burger. This SE Brooklyn neighborhood is lucky to have this little gem. read more

Stopped in before going down to a Timbers game. My boys and I are real into soccer and loved this place! The beers are very good, different than a typical northwest style brewery. They are more English real ale/cask style although they did have 1 IPA. The burger place out back was about the best burger we have ever had. I'm not a fry person at all but even the fries were great read more

I am so pissed that this place has been around for 6 years and I just discovered it. If you are lucky enough to have a taste for British cask bitter then this is the place. Best ever. IPA is dead to me. read more

Another great Portland brewery! This city has such a great craft beer scene that it's always super exciting for me to take a trip down here to try out breweries I haven't paid a visit to before and go to beloved ones. This brewery I got something on the lighter side for beer as that was what mainly was compromised of when trying having craft beer down here on my most recent trip. I got their Helles Lager which I really enjoyed. I love lagers and the Helles style is always something that I enjoy drinking. This brewery's version was no exception. It was extremely refreshing and had a good biscuity and nutty flavor to it. It was a very well tasting beer to kick back and relax with. There looked like other promising beer options on tap as well but I didn't get any more as I was trying out several different breweries. Away Days was a very fine stop and if you can swing by and try one of them! read more

This is a nice smaller brewpub in the light industrial area of SE Portland just east of the Hawthorne Bridge. The pub area is very nice, small but bright and decorated with great care. The large garage-door opens for a nice inside-outside seating area, the bar is nice, service is friendly, and it has a comfortable, quiet, relaxed feel. Beer is great quality and they have some cask-conditioned ales as well. When we were there, they had a couple lighter ales similar to light British summer ales and they were very enjoyable. read more

We had a dunkel and although it's not as dark as the ones we had in Germany, it was good! They allowed our dog inside and we're glad since it was hot! Service was friendly. It's a small brewery, but it's nice and nicely decorated and modern. Not much besides just good beer and good company! read more

I really, really, really enjoy going to Away Days. The ownership are such a gracious couple who clearly appreciate doing what they do. I was there this weekend for some of the Euro futball games and it sent me back to back in the day when they still had the Toffee Club up & running and we went for the world cup. Their beers are solid and they always have a cider on tap. It's such a chill atmosphere every time we've been in. It really does have a nice European vibe inside. Normally they don't have food other than some funly flavored British crisps that are a delight, but for the Euros they've had available a couple of sandwich options that are heated in the little oven. I had the chicken, bacon, & cheddar ciabatta during the game yesterday and for a quick sandwich, it was really delicious. The Hawthorne asylum carts are a block away and you can bring in outside food also. But man, oh man, that sandwich hit the spot. Given all the inflation we've been seeing, I thought that $10 was a very fair price, especially since it was a heated sandwich and not just straight out of the fridge. I love this place; it is a gem. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Euros there and I'm looking forward to visiting their new space once they upgrade! Thank you, Away Days, for making the world a better place with the wonderful community that you've built. read more

Ok....closer to 4.75 stars. Taking a little off because of where the outside seating is, right next to the road. So car fumes were an issue for us last night. The service was awesome!!! Very quick and the gal was very friendly as well. Got a flight of beer to start with, so I could decide what beer I wanted to get a pint of later. I went with the Vienna lager. All the beers that they had on tap were just what they were supposed to be. The food was pretty good but nothing really special. My wife and friends were kind of bummed about the fish and chips being only one piece of fish. But they still enjoyed it nonetheless. I had a scotch egg and a burger. I thought the fries (chips) were a little too well done. They're only open until 8 PM currently but they may be extending their hours once there's more daylight in the evening. They are owned by the place nextdoor so you can continue to imbibe until 10 PM. It's also dog friendly as well so that's a plus. read more

Away Days Brewing is a super cute spot. It's small but has seating available both inside and out. I started off with a flight (you choose four) followed by a pint and my husband had two pints. The Home & Away IPA was my favorite, I was sad that they were out of cans to take home. This was my favorite brewery visit while in Oregon. Cheers! read more

We stopped in for a little lunch. It's right next to the Toffee Club and same owner. Bright, fun, and whimsical atmosphere. It was not at all busy for a Sunday afternoon. We got a taster tray with the British Rail Summer Ale, Crossbar Radler, Away Days IPA, and Cleats Up IPA. All very tasty! Wow they did a great job capturing the season in these beers. We all ordered pints after the tasting but it was hard to choose! The Spanish chorizo sandwich was delicious. Loved the pickles and pasta salad it came with. The potato chips were nice too, just wish we had a little more of those. The house marinated olives are a must order. They pair well with everything. Great service! We shall return! read more

Cute spot with cask beer on tap! We got the Bermondsey Brown and Milkers Mild. Service was fast and personable.

Been coming here since they opened Labor Day weekend. Super friendly owners, and a good variety of beer that are a little different than those from a lot of the other breweries. Hoppy lager, pale ales, and yes, some IPAs along with bitters, milds, and other styles. Indoor and outdoor seating, and just a chill place to raise a few pints. I always enjoy it here. No longer serving food but outside food is welcome. read more

If you think you're going to like it, you're going to love it. Two cask ales, same yummy grub as next door, friendly and competent service (getting both is sometimes challenging in PDX), awesome vibes, and did I mention two cask ales?

A hidden gem! Really loved the beers on tap and owner was extremely friendly. We chatted with him for a bit as out of town visitors and he wrote out a list of his favorite spots in the area, which was so generous. We loved some of his recs and I hope I'll be back in Portland soon to try more Away beers!! Hit up this beautiful spot soon if you can! Very clean and friendly spot. read more

What a fun spot! Really friendly and a very clear identity. Very accommodating to set us up at a barrel until a table opened up outside. With beers on the lighter side, this is a great starting point for any SE beer afternoon. read more

Husband liked two of the four beers. It's a cute, tiny little place and the staff are cool. We were hoping for some great beers. The IPA was really good but the others were just ok. read more

WOW! Cask ales! Say no more. A real rarity where I live (Bay Area). Everyone needs to brew 100 different variations of an IPA, I guess. Boring! The ESB and Bitter were both excellent, as was the Pale Ale. The fish n chips were delicious and fresh tasting, but a little pricey for the portion of fish. The staffperson was friendly and the pours were perfect. I look forward to returning. read more

Watched the USA World Cup matchup with Holland and had a great time! Great oatmeal stout for breakfast. Great football decor with a mix of new and old. Even with a packed house still had great service. read more

Love beer? Oh my goodness, come here! I just had the most astonishing cask ale, and actually a pretty good burger, too. The service is wonderful and the people are really knowleadgeable about beer. And it is a great atmosphere. I imagine it would be great on a warm evening with the garage-door style walls opened up to this great Portland-y area. Nice. read more
