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.

Brujos is a hidden gem in NW/slabtown that everyone should try at least once…read more 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.

I love this little spot!…read more Once I discovered it, Little Beast quickly became one of my go-to's when visiting the East Side of Portland. I've been here 25-30 times, often for a beer with a friend and either a little lunch or dinner. Its craftsman-like coziness and warm lighting beckon you up the front porch and right up to the bar, where you can order beer and Pretty Boy Pizza to stay, or easily grab some cans to go. Service is quick and very friendly. Little Beast offers a broad variety of their own brews, everything from Stouts, Porters, Lagers a Tripel, even some sours. The selections rotate frequently but they keep a good balance of retaining their mainstays. This weekend, I invited a large group of friends out for some beer and pizzas. Little Beast handled our group well thanks to the individual ordering via QR codes on our tables. Little Beast has many seats outside which they keep covered in the rainy season. Oh, and don't forget to check out their cute merch, signs, shirts, etc! I'll keep coming back.

For food they are partnered with an independent Detroit-style pizza place at the back of the taproom. They also have a cooler with bottles & cans of their beers to-go.

We learned about "Level Beer," from enjoying their offerings at Amaro's Table in Castlerock…read more Level Beer = 5 outta 5! We were able to meet a couple of their brewmasters - they were congenial. I have to tell you, they *know what they're doing and have passion! While there, we enjoyed #3 Bad Hombre, (the Mexican lager), and #4 the Pixelated Pale Ale. Both of which were excellent. The background music = truly eclectic. From punk to Indy, more like background noise, unless you're paying attention, which I tend to do. Good stuff.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and a couple of friends came here before our dinner and after we tried Great Notion Brewing right across the street. It was a hot day and boy did the AC feel great inside. Plenty of beers on tap however they don't provide food, but that's alright. There's a couple of food trucks/spot outside and you BYOF. The beer I got was the Chill, which was their Helles lager. Delicious for a hot summer day. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the beer was around $7 and you can customize it to be a 12oz or 16oz. Will be back to try more beers!

I am a sucker for the brewery + food cart pot setup and Steeplejack on Hawthorne is no exception…read more They've done a good job with the space, hosting both the the brewery side (they also do cocktails) as well as a coffee shop to cover the earlier hours of the day. The variety of food carts is great too - on our visit we tried four out of five. Between Mama Chows, a gyro cart, fresh pasta, Mexican and smash burgers, you can't go wrong. There's ample indoor seating for the dreary months, plus some outdoor tables by the carts. They do music bingo on Wednesdays and pub trivia on Thursdays , plus happy hour on beers daily from 3-6. The place is new and clean. Good option for many tastes!

Here they have coffee and pastries in the morning, then beer and cocktails in the evening. Out back, they have a small food cart pod, currently including the well-known Mama Chow's Kitchen. Decor is fairly minimal/industrial, which isn't necessarily my favorite. There are some aspects of the bank that remain which is a fun touch. Overall, I think this kind of all-hours/mixed-use business is a great addition to this end of Hawthorne.

We really liked this beer a lot as it was a pale lager that had the presence of honey and maltiness in the flavor profile with a nice, crisp and clean finish. The beer is nice and light bodied which is always something we can appreciate. After we discovered there was a taproom we went there in person and had a good experience. We shared a nice, bready pretzel with some good, strong mustard. The beer I had there was a departure from the one we had a few times. What I had was the Ur-Weiss which was a Dunkel styled beer. It was good ! Characteristics in that flavor profile are banana, wheat, clove, Belgiany and a earthiness to it. All of those flavor elements were very well balanced out which made me appreciate this beer considerably. I'd love to explore more beers from this German style brewery!

Steeplejack Brewing is absolutely in a renowned church. Located on the eastside of Portland,…read moreSteeplejack blends into the surroundings, masking itself as a larger church than what the business actually contains. We walked up the steps and were in awe of the stain glasses windows. The interior is preserved and still has remnants of it being a church, although the altar may have been replaced by beer brewing and across the way is a bar. This place is magnificent in architecture and design. It feels like we're sitting down in the pews while having a drink. Perusing the menu, I chose a Hazy IPA and decided I wanted to try their peach cream salad. My fiancé chose to have their lunch special which entails a beer, a burger, and their fries. The beers were great! Hazy as it should be with hints of fruit. Yet, their salad was not good. Do not get their salad. Their salad was very salty, the peaches weren't sweet nor was the cream. It was salty overall as if the kitchen accidentally doused it with too much pistachios and couldn't clean it up, I'd say skip it. My fiancé's burger was way better. Service is okay. They don't really check on you at all. Overall, it was a cool experience to drink and eat in a church. I'd recommend it!
