This place smells so bad. If you care about your nose please stay away. Barely any air conditioning either.

We've been fans of Gigantic Brewing's beers for years, and usually visit their location on Hawthorne in Portland. This location is their original spot where the brewing magic happens. They have a variety of beers, which is nice because not everyone likes an IPA (myself, included), so I appreciate them brewing different styles. They have seating both inside & outside, with two covered patios. It's not the most scenic location, given it is an actual brewery in an industrial area, but the inside is decorated with artwork from their cool can designs & other fun stuff. They have their own parking lot customers can use, which is a bonus. The lady tending the bar when we came for their annual Kolsch Party (complete with a German brass band!) was very nice & helpful. They don't normally serve food (unless it's some sort of special event), but you can bring outside food, and there are 2 food trucks next to them, one with tacos and one with Hawaiian-style food. Follow them on Instagram to stay updated on their various fun events & new beer releases at their different locations. read more

Atmosphere: Walk-up to order your beers and then they have a spacious room with shareable tables. If I recall correctly they also have some board games that you can play, but not 100% Food: Did not eat. Beers are fun and the ones that I had were good Price: Standard Service: Don't remember Parking: Enough street parking read more

Great beers, yummy good, awesome service & fun art on the walls! They have different artists design their cans so there's a bunch of fun, different styles on them. I would definitely go back here again for sure! They have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well! read more

First time at this location for a yoga and beer event. Fabulous all around. We had a nice large quiet space to do yoga. Once finished we were able to hang around for some afternoon delight (beverages) with a rad beer tender who was super friendly! Street parking, but plenty of it. I'd say it's definitely worth checking out!! Hopefully we'll be able to get back here for more Yoga & Beer!!! read more

Cool neighborhood brewpub with a food cart that had tasty food. Nice low key atmosphere, friendly staff, and good beer!

Very relaxed and good natured brewery close to reed college. When i visited i tried their gigantic ipa which was good and fresh, but the dank alley cat ipa stole the show. Nice casual people here, no fancy hipsters. Nice. Hawaiian food truck on site, but across the street was express taco which was pretty terrific. read more

Came in today after a round of golf. I was in and out in 5 mins with 4 cold ones. Paid with Apple Pay and did not even have to barely touch anything but the beer . The guy was really nice and gave me a paper sack to hold my beers in. We all laughed and then we were gone. Great place to stock up on some cold ones. read more

Great atmosphere and great beer. I usually can't smell anything but as soon as I walked in I could smell brewery. I'm not enough of a connoisseur to know exactly what it was but it think it was barley. They had a nitro stout. That's my go to so that's what I had. It was on point. I'm not sure if good was available but we didn't eat. I don't think there's a parking lot so we parked on the street. I think that's how it is for most of Portland. We got there around 4:30 so finding a spot on the street wasn't too hard. I imagine after 7 or on the weekend could get tricky. read more

I've had beer from Gigantic Brewing Company here and there over the years. It was always from a bomber that I bought at a store and I enjoyed the beer pretty well. But like with a lot of breweries and other places you don't really get the full experience unless you go to the taproom or facility where it's directly generated from. A few weeks ago it was my birthday and we make it a tradition to go to Portland to celebrate it every year. Of course on these trips or anytime that we are in Portland we have got to pay a visit to the craft brewing scene in town. On this trip we decided to incorporate Gigantic in one of our stops. Here I got their Weapons of Mass Seduction beer which is an Oyster Stout which was lovely! I was on the fence with Oyster Stouts a little longer than I care to admit but after taking the plunge a couple of years ago I really love them and Gigantic's version continues to affirm that! Just prior to my trip here I discovered that Gigantic is releasing a series of beer that is related to the comic character Hellboy. Now I'm really, deeply intrigued now! There is about seven different varieties from this beer series and will start to become available after March 15th so I'm definitely going to keep my eyes peeled for those and want to try the entire series. If you go to their website you can see where you can buy the beer along the West Coast. And of course there is Hellboy swag coming... which makes me especially giddy for this upcoming beer series! read more

Beer, fine beer, people who love beer--here it is. When they started Gigantic was the smallest brew pub in town. They've since tripled their space, counting outdoors, and it still has that clubhouse feel. But it is all about the beer, which they make well. A handful of IPAs, but also the rest of the range from pilsner to sour to imperial stout. A good selection of bottles for sale. And always wonderful people working here. read more

My husband is a huge beer guy (I am not) and wanted to stop in and try this place. It was not my vibe. Super loud, afterwork, industrial type crowd. Very no nonsense. They do not serve food aside from a choice of two nut/snack mixes, so come with a full belly if you plan to stay awhile. I was happy that they do serve some wine, which is a plus when being dragged around to breweries/tap rooms constantly, while not being a beer drinker. That being said, my husband says the beer is delicious, the staff was super nice and we came home with a enough to restock our beer fridge. read more

Good old school beer place tucked away in a cool location. Glad I finally got to visit

I'll preface my review by saying that I don't drink, so my review has nothing to do with the drinks. I come here almost every Wednesday night for Trivia, and it's such a cool place. The staff is really cool, very down to earth, really friendly and attentive. It's always clean, and they have a decent selection of non-alcoholic drinks as well. I like the atmosphere and that they are cool enough to do trivia. Another great perk is that outside is a 808 Grinds cart, and across the street is a Taco Express Cart! read more

Let's just say that Gigantic's sticker made it on the back of my van, which means it's that good. The bar and the indoor seating area is small but they have outdoor seating too which is about three times than the indoor space. They have a great selection of beer. Staff are super chill. Bar and indoor seating are well designed. Restroom is clean. They only offee munchies but there's Hawaiian food inspired food cart just next to it. The outdoor seating is great during summer and whenever weather is great. We live in SW but it's worth driving to SE for great beer! read more

I'm a Gigantic fan. Their flagship IPA is quite good and worthy of the Gigantic name. The tasting room is a little hard to locate, but your GPS will get you there. The main room has a lodge feel to it with a nice bar with cool artwork on the walls. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Since Gigantic only promises their IPA all the time, you will need to try their other lineup, and I suggest going for a flight so you can taste them all, and not wasted a pint on one you might regret. I enjoyed the Sodbusted Simcoe Fresh Hop quite a big and the High Fidelity Pale was solid. The Future is now Amber was just okay, and the TicWitic Sour Wit collaboration was interesting to say the least/yeast :) The female bartender was friendly enough, and the patrons I met were friendly. This place down South of Portland makes a good stop enroute to other nearby beer places like Beermongers or Apex. Cheers. read more

This was my second time here and I enjoy their beer selection. There's also a large area outside for talking or playing games. I'd highly recommend their IPAs. Great prices too. read more

Simply put, you should get 20 oz. if you're paying for that. Kinda sad that Gigantic isn't gigantically in on the concept. read more

WOW!!! This beer is AMAZING. I highly recommend this brewery. During this epidemic they are delivering; they are fast, efficient, and awesome. Every beer we ordered is fantastic. The Pipewrench gin barrel aged IPA is SO SO GOOD!!! And the Fantastic Voyage Gewurtztraminer is also so, so good. I can't wait to order more. Please support them so we can keep enjoying their good beer. read more

My favorite part about Gigantic Brewing is how unapologetically authentic they are. They don't conform to anything 'regular' by any means. From their staff to their marketing to their beers, they do whatever the f*** they want. They wouldn't have bleeped out that word, for example. But they are one of the hidden gems of Portland breweries that doesn't allow children, so who cares? Their beer is always consistently good, in my opinion. And there is always a great spot to hang out - I've read a book at a table in the corner, I've got loud and rambunctious with friends and dogs outside, I've displayed public affection with a date on the couch inside (don't do that, it's gross. don't be like me.) But, regardless of your ideal beer-drinking atmosphere, I always have a great time here. In a world where everyone tip-toes around the possibility of bad Yelp reviews, Gigantic remains unapologetically authentic. read more

The glass is super cloudy and dirty. This was my second ask for a clean glass too. Covid isnt over so this really freaked me out. Also The beer wasn't good and it was warm. $7 for a warm drink? You should at least serve something cold. Please Double wash your glasses that's disgusting read more

This place was really chill. I was just looking for a neighborhood brewery, nothing fancy, just something to get a drink at with a friend, and this place serves exactly that purpose. I love that it's very affordable as well at $5.50 for various sizes of different brew! They also have a huge area in the back that people can reserve for events - huge space. Would be a good place to hang out with meet up with a large group of friends. Overall, if you are just looking for a no frill local brewery for a drink, this place is perfect. read more

Great brewery! Went last night for the first time as it's literally right around the corner from my house. It looks small but there's a whole entire back room with tons of seating. Staff was friendly, beer was delicious. I got their sour Omi Kawaii and it was super good. Really glad it's so close to my house! Best part is the patio is dog friendly. So I spent most of the evening saying hi to all the dogs. read more

Really love this place. It's super chill, and they have great beer. The patio is nice, and there are always food trucks. I'm a hop head, but I love their broad range of fun beer styles including tasty Belgians and stouts. It's sort of not near anything else, but it's totally worth it! read more

Gigantic isn't a fancy brewery. It's in an industrial area and has kind of a garage feel. But that's kind of the point, too. This is a place where people are laid back and the bartender is likely to learn your name in short order. They also make great beer, which is really the point. While I think their IPAs are the star of the show, they also have some other good options. The barrel-aged Massive, for example, is one of the best of those styles I've had in the city. Gigantic doesn't serve food itself, but the 808 Grinds food truck is right next door. Their food is fantastic. There's a large front patio with umbrellas that's perfect for outdoor seating. They recently opened up the barrel room in the back for more indoor seating, and it's a cool atmosphere. They have pub quiz there on Wednesday nights and the quizmaster is super cool and handsome (cough). So, yeah, I love everything about this place. read more

Friendly staff, good beer and very spacious. I wish they had food but the cart was closed that day. It would have been 5 stars otherwise.

I love everything about this place. So many of their beers are my favorite for each of their styles. The northwest IPA of the hazy IPAs and whatever the pipe wrench fits into our all top top notch. The staff is helpful and welcoming. There's trivia once a week. The outdoor seating area is awesome. The food truck next-door has great Hawaiian food. Pints bottles and growlers forever!!! Whenever I have visitors I try to take them here. A true highlight of the Portland craft beer scene. read more

You should play Blazers games. All of them. They have a TV (machine). The Timbers aren't playing and the Blazers are, yet no game on the TV. Do you want my money? I mean, really? read more

I really enjoy the GIGANTIC umbrellas outside. They weren't up when we were there, but I could imagine their potential. Great beers, nice girl working, chill place overall. I really enjoy their logo, but I wish it said "Portland" on it somewhere so I could adequately rep! read more

Awesome space, good beer, great staff and food carts that share the same building/ area. New favorite brewery! read more

So I FINALLY made it to Gigantic Brewing Company. After drinking their bottled IPA time and time again, I thought it was a must and visit the actually brewery. My thoughts you may ask?.... Meh, it was ok. I wish I could say more than just "meh, it was ok." I guess after reading the reviews I thought I was missing out on something. Turns out that was not the case. Their options seem limited and I didn't even know they had bar snacks available - oi vei! I'll just stick to purchasing my bottled brew from the local convenience store, because let's be honest, their beer is delicious but not that delicious that I need to head to the brewery each time I'm craving their Gigantic IPA. read more

Came for the trivia, stayed for the beer. I'm terrible at trivia, but their Wed night extravaganza is a reasonable amount of difficult and reasonable questions. With so many craft beers on tap, I was a happy customer. The only weird thing was that they don't have ice anyone on the premises.... so room temperature water it is! read more

I am not a fan of fad brewing (e.g., berry infused saison with a hint of anise) so this place is great! They brew some solid microbrews! I am quite the fan of picking up a growler of their Ginormous IPA. It is close to Reed College and has more seating outside than in. Check it out the next time you are in the area. OH MY! In researching for this review I just discovered they publish their beer recipes on their website. Talk about promoting local homebrewing. Nicely done folks! read more

Gigantic Brewing makes a pretty solid IPA, very few bars/restaurants carry Gigantic, if you happen to be in the area, come check this place out. It's not a place to come and have dinner, they have a few light snacks or you can pick up some tacos at the taco truck or if they have a food truck on spot. The seating is limited inside. Spring and summer, would be a great time to swing by, as they have communal tables outside. I really like the Ume Umai, which has flavors of black rice and plums, an interesting beer, if you're up for something different. There's not much around, and if you don't feel like trekking over, pick up their beer if you're at the grocery store, as they do make one of the best IPA's in town. They fill growlers, and unfortunately won't do corny kegs. read more

Gigantic Brewing - Great patio! - Breweries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great beer, friendly people. To the person complaining about the lack of Blazers games: It is more of a Timbers bar, but they usually show Blazers games in the barrel room in the back on the projection TV. If it isn't on when you arrive, you can ask and they will turn it on unless it is the same time as a Timbers game. They aren't anti-Blazers, just pro-soccer. read more

Great place to visit for a beer without pretense. What used to be a small indoor and large outdoor patio for people and dogs place has opened up inside in the adjoining barrel room. Industrial space in the neighborhood that Hair of the Dog used to be in, not far from Reed and Eastmoreland. A little off the beaten path, but worth a visit. Nice bartenders, can get backed up if really busy. Lowbrow vibe. No food, so plan ahead or order from the 808 Grinds Hawaiian food truck outside. Generally great beers, mixture of IPAs and IPA variants as well as more sessionable beers. A wide gamut of styles from really talented brewers. 7 out of 12 beers on tap were IPAs when we visited. Of note, Pipewrench might change your preconceived notions about what IPAs are like. read more

After showing a rental house in SE Portland, I did a search on "brewery near me" and discovered Gigantic Brewing Company. I give their flagship Gigantic IPA two thumbs up. Very smooth, clean finish, no bitterness. Also enjoyed a ginger-enhanced Hawaiian dinner from the food cart just outside their door. Wonderfully warm and vivacious conversations with friendly regulars. Nice spot. read more
