Fortside Brewing is so comfy/cozy! We got some tacos from El Viejon and came in to get something to drink. There's a great selection, I grabbed a holiday cider. The service was really quick and friendly. It was fun to hang out, have great food and good drinks in such an inviting place! Great service, great drinks!!! read more

Fun brewery. We happened to come on music bingo night. That was a lot of fun! Join and play from your phone. No need for bingo cards and dobbers. Bar tender was friendly. Beers were good! Greta taco truck outside, and plenty of outdoor seating. What else can I say? I'll be back. read more

Fortside Brewing Company - Flight with 6 IPAs. - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Fortside is a must-visit in Vancouver, offering fantastic craft beer and a great, laid-back atmosphere. The taproom is lively and welcoming, making it an easy place to hang out. And there's always plenty of brews on top plus non beer options for those who like something else . I appreciated the outdoor and indoor dining options and the staff was super friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Great beers and a constant rotation of new options. I haven't tried the food cart outside, but I've heard it's great too.

I love that this was a dog friendly spot. The food truck looked absolutely incredible. Unfortunately I was not able to try any of it as I had dinner plans, but it's definitely a spot. I would go back to just to try the food truck. The space had a lot of area inside and outside. The beer for me personally was just kind of decent. Nothing was spectacular, but nothing was bad. The beer tender was very nice and very helpful. But again to be honest, the food truck would bring me back over the beer. read more

We had a great time there tonight! We were hanging out with friends nearby (we live in Portland) and decided to give it a try. Amazing beer and fantastic food cart = we will be back again! Love the fact that it is dog friendly. I met a really cool German Shepherd tonight too. Thanks! read more

Taco truck employees were kind, and honestly some of the best tacos I've ever had!!! The brewery...chill ambiance, I prefer low IBU as I don't like the pine tree taste of beers lol, the server was meh. Initially she had me sample a couple, I chose "say less" when I went back in for another she seemed uninterested and again for the 3rd, which is when I saw the rose and opted for that. She may have a crush on another patron as her attention the whole time as absolutely towards him..... I'll be back for sure, as it's close to my house and I genuinely like it but maybe a bit more enthusiastic bartender would be helpful, especially for us naive brewery drinkers read more

The brewery sounded so good based off the description. We got 2 flights (kinda pricey at $34) and tried all the IPAs plus a few more. While nothing was persay bad nothing was really great either. In my opinion the beer flavors were okay. I love supporting small breweries and taking beer with me but I couldn't find one worth it. The taco truck looked amazing but unfortunately we didn't get to try it to save our dinner date plans. read more

Incredible beer. Incredible service. Incredible taco cart.... I'm not sure what more you can ask for!!?! Love this place. Keep up the great work! We'll be back :-) read more

One of the best places to grab great beer and great tacos. Never a complaint. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly. Counter service and fun options. read more

We always drive by and never stopped (despite living their beer elsewhere), so we dropped in for lunch. The guy pouring was super friendly and knowledgeable, and there's a food truck parked out front with great tacos. A very nice and inviting space! read more

Visited with my wife and dog on a weekday and it was very quiet. They offer both interior and patio seating, but we sat outside because of our dog. Service was good, but seemed distracted. After ordering a flight, we felt the beer was good, but not outstanding. Heavy on the IPA's the day we were there. Food was a taco truck next to the patio and it was excellent. Overall a good experience, but seems like they could work on being better by improving the beer selection away from IPA's. read more

Cool brewery, great beer and the taco truck is dishing out some fantastic queso. We were doing some brewery hoping around Vancouver and happened upon this place. The beer tender was knowledgeable and we ordered a flight of different styles to try. We also ordered chips and queso from the taco truck. The beers were good, the queso was great had a good little kick to it.. the chips were store bought but went well with the queso. Great space, seating inside and out and a steel tip dartboard. read more

The brewery itself gets four starts because it's pretty cool with good beer. However, the food options gets 1 star. The food is weird. Weird is ok if it tastes good. We orders almost everything on the menu. The best choice was the pretzel. They have large parking lot with lots of spaces. I would go there to hang our and enjoy one of their beers, but I would not eat there even if I am starving... The bartender was very helpful and patient with us. Even the food guilty parties were helpful and nice, but please change the menu. We wanted to add tomatoes, but they did not have any... read more

I'm upping them to 5-stars because they have consistently provided great, friendly service and a good variety of tasty beers for the past 4+ years since we moved to the area. The inside is nice, and they have a big covered patio next to the parking lot. Plus they have a taco cart there, so you can always get some delicious tacos or nachos to have with your beer (see separate review for Taco Spaceship). Cheers! read more

I heard El Viejon food truck outside was one of the best in town. I had a birria burrito and was able to enjoy a nice bar area inside Fortside Brewing.

Fortside Brewing Company - Yummy hazy & kettle sour! - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We recently moved to the Orchards area and we're a little saddened to leave our Portland breweries behind. We stumbled upon fortside while trying to find new regular spots in Vancouver and this is now our favorite by far! The taco truck is the perfect compliment to the space, serving tacos/nachos etc... probably my favorite nachos and I notice the proteins rotate. I think I had a Korean chicken nacho last time and finished the entire thing down to the last chip. The beer is great (I always opt for the blueberry sour and my partner gets the orange whip). The bartenders are friendly and super chill. They have a board where they keep track of beers that people buy for someone then next time they come in, so I'll have to take advantage of that and surprise my boyfriend when he pops in there after work one day. They have games and a comfortable low key ambiance that I appreciate read more

This place has been on my list for awhile and it was everything I hoped and more. There was a recent post on Instagram with a lager and I finally got around to going. Amazing!! The lager was spectacular and the food from @Tacosfromspace is out of this word. I would go back everyday if I could. A wonderful ambiance. Great music and there are books about Clark County and I really loved the experience. Super amazing. The service was perfect and I will go back. read more

After encountering Orange Whip & Rose Gone Wild at Chuck's Hop Shop in Seattle, it was a must to drive to Fortside Brewery. Not in a neighborhood area, but the down right neighborly service is there. Very welcoming and friendly. It is obvious these guys love what they do ~ sociable conversation sharing their brew thoughts and creative risks made the tasting experience so much more enjoyable. Savored all that was tasted and here are a few of the personal favs ~ Orange Whip, Rose Gone Wild, Sunshine Dreamin', Couve A'licious. read more

Unless you knew where to look, you could easily drive right by. Located in a parking lot (a ton of spaces to park!) across from the Winco. Super welcoming inside with a lot of places to sit. Drink where you can see where the beer is made. They also have a covered patio area out front (which is now much larger than it was a few years ago!) where they allow dogs. You can sit right next to the Taco Spaceship food truck. Service is from the bar but it was super easy to look at the beer board and order. Bartender was super helpful and explained several beers to us. read more

Very welcoming brewery with awesome staff and great selection of tasty beers. Food cart is excellent. Love having this spot close to home and visit them at least once a week. A gem of the neighborhood and of Vancouver. I visit them for date night, a treat with my kid, and sometimes on a date with my pooch. I love Fortside. read more

Wow! Loved this place. After getting tattooed for almost four hours, I was craving a beer and some nachos. This was the spot to go to. Great beer and yummy food. Can't complain. I liked the outdoor seating option and felt welcomed. It did get pretty busy by our third round of beers on a Saturday afternoon but beats waiting over an hour in line to eat/drink at the McMenamins down the road. Next time I'm in Vancouver, I'll be sure to stop by again. read more

Nice brewery! It's located in a typical brewery spot, a storage area. The inside in comfortable and they had a few TVs and a food truck out front. The beers here were good. I had a pink lemonade beer which was a sour but it wasn't too sour and definitely tasted like pink lemonade. I would definitely recommend this brewery for some good beers. read more

Come for the Beer and stay for Taco spaceship on the weekends. The beers are top notch. Kanaka and Suede suit are my favorite. When it comes to tacos Snag anyone that you desire. Also El pastor and Jerk chicken really shine. Grab a seat and make a friend and play a board game. They are off the beaten path but only 12 mins away from downtown Vancouver. Now boarding a flight of beers. Destination= Your mouth. read more

The bartender was so rude to us that I regret spending money here. My mom, partner, and I ordered food and drinks and he acted like we were a disgusting inconvenience. Maybe he was having a bad day but it was unacceptable. I'd have more to say about the food and drinks but the experience was completely soured by the way we were treated. The outdoor seating was a nice option so we didn't have to sit inside and feel uncomfortable. We will never go back. read more

Incredible beer. Wonderful service. Cozy location. Discovered this gem while visiting my folks in Vancouver. I can't wait to go back.

Teaching for the week in Portland and found this place close to my Air Bnb. A true brewery, nuttin' but beer (that's how I like 'em). If your hungry I saw a food truck in the parking lot. Good selection of beers, but a description of each would help an amateur like me. I like a good view of the workings of the brewing process and they provided a great one. They have great ambiance (rustic, airy) and I really enjoyed the Couve A 'Licious Brown Ale. read more

Good beers, cool space with decor of dark wood and metal, and nice guy working. What else to say? A solid choice for a hangout sesh.

Couve A'Licious It's a lifestyle. It's an escape. It's a beer. Find all three at Fortside Brewing Co in The Couve. The Tap Room just opened to the public 3 days a week: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4:00 - 10:00 pm all 3 nights. Other days, it's only open for private events. Olivia Z. and me joined a small group of local brew lovers for such a small event. It was Couve A'Licious. Couve A'licious is Fortside Brewing's American Brown Ale splashing a smooth 5.2% ABV and 20 IBU. If you're in Vancouver and not sure which beer to get, get a Couve A'Licious and embrace the Couve lifestyle. Zythological Pale Ale was an American Pale Ale from Fortside Brewing Company that was still relatively tame at 5.4% ABV and 39 IBU. It may not reach mythological levels, but it does reach zythological ones. I also tried pints from two other breweries. The first was a Wild Ride Brew Hopperhead IPA (6.7% ABV) and the other was an Upright Red Wing Lager (5.8%). They were good counterparts to the Fortside brews. Another cool local drink discovery at Fortside Brewing was their homemade Fortside Root Beer. If you like root beer, be sure to try this because it is definitely not that can stuff we are used to drinking. Fortside Brewing Company may be new, but it is another strong addition to the Vancouver, Washington microbrew scene. In fact, it's totally Couve A'Licious. read more
