Genuinely my favorite brewery in Portland (which is really saying something). Beers are spectacular and the staff is excellent. I love the space as well, though if you're looking for somewhere for a quiet conversation and welcoming pastels this is NOT your spot. I wish we could bring the kids to hang out with us on the patio at least, but Portland permitting is weird AF. Love the merch, love the tap lists, love the events, love the cooler; what more can I say? To top it all off they have El Viejon serving some of the best mexican food anywhere in Portland right in the joint! I've yet to try a single dish that's not delicious and many are absolute favorites. Get a cali burrito and call it a day; you'll be set! Sam et al; you guys are amazing and we really appreciate you! I genuinely only wish I had more time to come spend enjoying Brujos. read more

Brujos is a hidden gem in NW/slabtown that everyone should try at least once. They just completed an interior renovation of the bar, and damn, is it ever a cool design and space. I am a big fan of the indoor/outdoor flow for the space, especially on nice weather afternoons like we have had recently. Outdoor seating is limited, so be prepared to sit inside. Interior seating is not the most comfortable, with former church bleachers that are quite bouncy or large and hard game of thrones-like high chairs. The team is super friendly and will send you to the food station or the bar depending on your needs, and, with the good quality Mexican cuisine on service, you'll want a taco or two. The brewery specializes in Hazy/IPAs, to come expecting to enjoy these PNW basics. I swapped between them and non-alcoholic options since hazies are not my favorite but everyone I was with loved them. The restrooms are clean and there are plenty of bike stands to make this a car-free journey. read more

Congrats! If you've landed here looking for the best beer in the PNW, you've found it. Seriously top tier brewmasters here putting out some of the most creative collaborations and styles of beer I've ever known. I've had people fly in to visit with the specific intention of going here so that says a lot in and of itself. The space inside has a gothic feel to coincide with the whole vibe of their beers. Nice large booths and long tables support crowds both large and small. Also there is a decent (not too large) outdoor patio. The food offerings at El Viejon Taqueria is some of the best in town as well. Mexican style dishes like tacos, burritos, etc. but my favorite are the nachos (enough for two). read more

They do have el.viejon which serves seafood and it looked pretty good. Good portions and prices were reasonable. Parking is on the street and doable. There is a wheelchair elevators since there's stairs to come in to the establishment. Inside has high top tables and they also have seating outside. They have merch and to go beers. Decorations is dope. read more

One of the best breweries it seems in OR. High quality hazies and the westies were fire too. Enjoyed the theme, beertender was cool, and they have a fire taco shop inside. NO MINORS ALLOWED! lol. There are like 5 signs yet people still get pissed or disappointed when kids can't come in. We left the kids in the car and bought some time by ordering food. They are all teens, don't judge us lol. Anyway, great spot. Should offer flights since their beers are on the stronger side and hella good. I wanted to try em all read more

I went to this brewery for the first time. I live in California and was in town for the Brujos Anniversary event. It was crowded but I did not mind. The line moved pretty quickly and the service was great despite the crowds. We did order nachos and I thought they were delicious and the beer did not disappoint. The place itself has indoor and outdoor seating. I would totally recommend visiting when in Portland. read more

Super cool, gothic vibes with great beer assortments. Friendly staff but can fill up fast at peak hours and cause some wait for your rounds. The food truck there is out of this world! Go hungry and thirsty you'll be glad you did. read more

We loved the music playlist on the 45 minutes until closing Saturday night! Cool gothic vibe with emo jams - request the Brujos emo playlist! The bartender said he did last call before we arrived at 9:28, but he poured us two beers anyway. The Nothling was great and so was the hazy we got. When we visit great notion we'll definitely stop here in the future! read more

I recently went to the 2 year anniversary beer festival for Brujos in Portland, Oregon. Great place, great beer, great food, great city! So much fun spending time at the "scorched church"! The staff is hard working and friendly, even when slammed. The festival was exceptional, and I can't wait to go back! read more

The beer here is so good love the theme of this place it's like Halloween all year round! This place is so cool! One thing I don't appreciate is... when it came to closing time the bartender kind of rushed us saying "5minutes" like fuck girl the bar is already closed let us finish the beer that we paid for!? don't you have to pick up anyway? I've never been to any place serving beer that rushed us like this place. That was the only downfall. After closing if you announced last call at 839 and kick us out by 9 like you really want us to chug .. it was so distasteful. Definitely not a good look let people enjoy their purchase! Cali could never read more

This was definitely a unique brewery. This place was recommended to us from some friends who had previously visited. When they say heavy metal ambiance, they mean heavy metal ambiance. Decor was point and you knew exactly who they are the moment you step a toe in the door. The space is fairly large. We went on a beer release day so it was pretty crowded but still a bit of room. They do have food but we didn't try it. Someone next to us got tacos and they looked pretty fire. I only had one beer here but I made it count with The Order of Six: Triple Dry Hopped, Triple Hazy India Pale Ale featuring Nelson Sauvin, Nelson Hyperboost, Nelson Hop Kief, Simcoe, Citra, Citra Cryo, Nectaron & Rakau Hop Kief. Brewed for the inaugural "Beer Geek Festival" in Tokyo, Japan. It was delicious and I'd definitely order it again. Check them out if you're in the area! read more

This spot was so good, my boyfriend and I came back THREE times during our trip to Portland -- that should tell you everything! The beer here is incredible. If you're an experienced beer lover, you'll definitely appreciate the variety and depth of flavor in every pour. Each one felt carefully crafted and full of character -- nothing generic here. You can tell they take their brewing seriously. The surprise standout was the Mexican food they serve alongside the beer -- it wasn't just an afterthought. It was flavorful, filling, and paired perfectly with the drinks. Such a great combo that elevated the whole experience. Shoutout to our bartender Andreas -- he was awesome! Super friendly, helpful, and clearly knows his stuff. He made us feel so welcome and really added to why we kept coming back. This place is a must-visit if you're in Portland and love good beer, good food, and good vibes. read more

A neat brewery that is located in the industrial NW area. They have beer on tap and some other non beer items as well. My friend enjoyed his beer, and I had their black cherry ginger cider (can). They also have a separate restaurant operating in the building that serves food as well. read more

Awesome brewery experience unlike any other in Portland. Ambiance was amazing and one of a kind giving you almost like a dark medieval type vibe with metal music playing in the background. Not to mention all the beers were amazing proving that this isn't just some gimmicky place. It definitely has the vibes and the beers to match. Staff was super helpful and nice in recommending some popular choices based on my taste and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're into good beer and into goth vibey places. read more

A few months back I got to visit this brewery. It's been on my list since having their stouts has had me wanting more. The brewery is SICK! When entering the brewery the art and details suck you into their magic. They also have an outdoor covered seating area. I tried and assortment of beers and came back a few times during my stay. They had a lot of IPA's and some guests beers on tap. I was also able to try a few stouts, but no luck on bottles as I was way past a release. The beertender was friendly and hilarious. He was showing off a champion belt he won! He also recommended some greet beers to try. We definitely took a lot of cool prop photos around the brewery with our beers. Can't wait to visit again on my next trip to Portland. read more

Drove cross country on a road trip really excited to try this spot as they have elite haze. I'm personally in the camp that high ABV beers over 10 percent that do not offer less that 10oz pours promote unsafe drinking and are a money grab. I'd kindly pay more pour ounce that to risk my safety or someone else's to drink these high abv beers. Drank a half of a 10oz 13 percent pour and left. Biggest let down of road trip so far. Just the 2nd of 45 breweries sampled over the past few weeks cross country that this was a thing. read more

Brujos Brewing is described as a Gothic themed brewery with death metal playing. Yes, that sums it up well! I love Goth and have been to a few death metal breweries back in Denver, Colorado but I always appreciate going to another one and this time around so much closer! It's always refreshing going to a brewery with a unique atmosphere. Of course keeping a sharp eye for merch was definitely on my mind and I got a t-shirt in hand as part of my purchase when the tab was closed. So far... and I do mean so far I have had three different beers from this brewery. I would love to make it a watering hole for Steve and myself whenever we visit Portland... which is about two hours away. But onto the beers without further delay! One of the beers we fell in love with was the Hostia which is a Czech Pilsner. Flavors to enjoy in this beer are breadiness, maltiness, floral and spicy. It was also very effervescent! The Threefold Law was another beer we had which also was a pilsner. Flavor highlights with this one are hoppy, clean, grassy and bready. The beer is quite bright! In The Midnight Hour was a pastry stout we also had. Every once in a while I love a good pastry stout! Flavors in this lovely are vanilla, cacao and nutty. The beer is very smooth also. Really a great brewery not only in it's atmosphere but also in their beers. They are worthy of five stars with ease. read more

One of the best breweries in Portland hands down. Sam has been making stellar beer for a long time and I am so glad he has a brick and mortar taproom to enjoy. The ambiance is death metal and instead of chairs there are wooden church pews. I haven't had a chance to try their in house food vendor, but the menu always looks good. If you are going to a beer drop, get there early as it sells out quick. read more

Been here twice now. Both times great vibes and great service. Their ambiance is the best part of the place. I have tried a few of their IPA's now and all have been good! Their unholy water is super fun and a unique touch. The unholy water is alcohol free sparkling hops water infused with citra A hops and grapefruit abstrax. You can buy their beers in cans to take home as well! They also had a super cool collection of merchandise, had to get a hoodie, shirt, and some stickers. They partner with El Veijon for food. I highly recommend the El Gobernador taco (6.5). At first I thought it was an over priced taco. But once you eat it... one or two and you are STUFFED. They are 100% worth the price. The taco consists of shrimp, mozzarella, chipotle aioli, and cilantro in a corn tortilla. The sauce selection is fantastic as well! On V-Day they were doing specials the carne asada plate was great. Would absolutely come back! read more

If you want a great beer, especially a hazy, this is YOUR spot, coming from SoCal. Brujos reminds me of Monkish, Green Cheek, and Everywhere. It truly hits all the check marks, from amazing food to amazing service! Like a goof I lost my ring and the staff went above and beyond and then some to help me grab it from the crawl space. I came for the beer and ended with a a story for a lifetime. Come for a beer and end up with a story to tell your friends! read more

This is slowly becoming my favorite brewery in Portland. First of all, when you step inside, take a moment to appreciate the interior design of the place. It's AWESOME. I think the beers are absolutely fantastic. The service has always been super friendly and quick. The offer some limited outdoor seating and a good portion of it is covered. They have a food cart/stall that serves delicious Mexican food too. If you've never been please give this place a try. read more

Welp, ANOTHER update: I revisited for a third time, had a different beertender, and samples were not only allowed, but...encouraged? If they are allowing samples when you visit: this is 5/5 If not: 4/5 read more

Enter the warehouse and find not your everyday brewery ~ black themed, death metal soothingly playing in the background, but cozy like your neighborhood gothic cafe. Beer ~ phenomenal. The liquid spells keep you drinking. And the more you do, the ghostly wraiths overlooking the taproom not with approval. Their can graphics & merch are pretty cool. Food option is the partnering Saint Lovejoy's. The name is funny & fitting with Brujos. Orders are taken at a side counter. Service is smiley & courteous. An elevated menu for a beer bar. Food is delicious! Service ~ awesome. The staff may look tough but are so welcoming & friendly. 5 stars for all around experience. read more

Brujos Brewing - Hazy ;) - Breweries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Was super excited to check out Brujos, but was pretty underwhelmed. I'm a big IPA fan but not always a DDH guy. They went a little further with them than I enjoy. Tried a few, but nothing super great. The best beer we tried was a guest tap. Wasn't a fan of the lack of prices on the menu. You're just ordering what you want and you get charged what you get charged. In this case, prices were pretty high $8+ for the pours we had. A barrel aged guest tap was $13. Oddly that was a large pour and super high ABV so was the best deal of the bunch. Also one we ordered was a can pour, which may have been labeled, but we hadn't seen it. Patio outside was nice and some of the decor inside is pretty cool. Just okay for me, overall. read more

Love the vibe they're trying to create. The theme is darker and towards the macbre, but the open windows definitely make it difficult for them to achieve their motif. Their service is good, but they are still currently limited in beer options, but I'm sure that will change as they finish fermenting more beers in the back. There's also an attached food service called Saint Lovejoy which the tender will call up for an attendance to meet you to take your order outside their kitchen. read more

These folks are great at the image, beers relating to Satan and 666, somber setting (though outdoor deck pretty usual--neat that they have a wheel-chair sized elevator for those who can't do the steps.) the beer i had was excellently crafted, & a little over-priced. the bartender a shade snooty. and i was dressed alright. That was my experience read more

Not for $9 for a beer in Portland. This ain't Santa Monica. Crafting liquid rip offs. Real Oregon Craft Beer like Breakside, Pfriem, Crux is genuine and reasonably priced. The Mexican food there is fantastic and a great value. But the silly witchy-pooh stuff doesn't hunt! LOL. Oh, and by the way, upgrade your ghetto car canopy shade on your deck. YOU'RE DONE! read more

I love this place. Great beer AND they play real death / black metal. I love the grim decor as well. The main reason I am writing this is to tell you about the Mexican food offered on premises by El Viejon. I had the Al pastor tacos on a pervious visit (excellent), but this time had the California burrito w/grilled veggies. Mind blowing layers of flavor! I loved that all the ingredients seemed to be mixed together (no pockets of only one component). The staff of both Brujos and El Viejon were super friendly and helpful too! read more

Didn't try the food, but loved the beers! IPAs and DDH are some of my favorite and I enjoyed all of them. Will definitely be returning. Bright and airy space with pleasant customer service. read more

Sitting between warehouses is this lil gem of a Mexican restaurant the food was good a bit on the expensive side for three of us our bill was just under $80 we put in our order at the front counter and sat ourselves we ordered floutas 4 no sides that's extra two birria tacos a shrimp tostada another shrimp taco and empanada and a side of rice also chips and salsa it was all tasty my flautas fried a lil bit too long so the chicken was dry and like the tortilla crunchy but edible I was the designed driver so no booze maybe next time everything else was very tasty and delicious the outside seating was nice with a sunny day we had the death metal pumping in the background it was a good time four stars because the $$$ and overcooked flautas also nobody ever checked on us like everywhere else does I would have tipped but it's pretty much other than the food being brought out a self serve place give them a try and thanks for reading.. read more

Been here a few times and I always have a great time. It has a nice atmosphere and they host different fun events. They had a beer event a couple of months ago and more recently a comedy show. I dont drink their beer so I cant review it BUT the kitchen they have is great. They have the best horchata in all of Portland not gritty or chalky and the perfect amount of sweetness that's not artifical. The tacos were so good. The birriria and consume was flavorful, I dont even like red onions but I ate everything on my plate. read more
