A brewery with a small bar and a few outdoor tables. Vanguard suffers from construction which makes getting to it very difficult and at the time I went, Google could not navigate me there because of road closures. Beer was pretty great. I sampled 4 and thought they all hit the marks, especially a banana + clove hefe. I'd skip the pizzas, but the tots and nachos were solid. Beer beats food, but overall had a great experience and liked the bartender a lot. read more

Small quaint place with friendly bar tender and great selection of beer and a few ciders. We were happy with their soft pretzels with beer cheese and mustard too! We'll be back! read more

The beers were pretty good. Lots of selection. The food was delicious. I had the chili which is house made and was very tasty. The young lady behind the bar was very attentive and knowledgeable. The tasting room was cozy, and they had a large outside area. read more

Vanguard Brewing - CBR Pizza and a side salad. - Breweries Near Me - Wilsonville, Oregon

The ambiance is great, I prefer sitting outside where it's quieter and the servers do a great job of checking up on you. There's not a *ton* of drink options but what they have is great. I wish they had more ciders though! I come here a lot with friends and coworkers and highly recommend it. The food is so-so. Usually undercooked, but it's bar food so they're not going to be the star items. read more

We had a great first experience here. The lady bartender was very attentative and friendly. We sat outside with our dog. They have leash hooks and dog water bowls. Nothing real special about this place, menu is pretty on par with other brewery menus and prices were fair. It's kinda isolated (in an industrial area) I really hope they make it cause beer and food were good. Won't drive far to come back, but if we're ever in the area again then probably. read more

This is my go-to place after work. It's great for a quick happy hour with colleagues and offers indoor and outdoor seating and if you ask, they'll add glitter to your beer! Their beer is pretty good and there are decent options. They often carry hefes which I appreciate! read more

A great little spot in a commercial area. I usually go there after work with colleagues. The service is prompt. They have great beer and the cider is phenomenal. I recently discovered my favorite cider, one of the best I ever had. It is called French Pear. If you like cider and are planning going there, try it you won't be disappointed. I just recently just went there between gigs just for that reason to have a glass and introduce it to my wife. She likes cider as well. read more

Pretty average brewery in an industrial park. Has a nice outdoor beer garden area including string lights for the full ambiance. Beers are alright, nothing to call home about. We enjoyed the pretzels. The sausages just tasted like grocery store sausages heated up in a steam or water bath. Overall a nice brewery with the main highlight being that you don't have to go all the way into the city. read more

No kids allowed outside. We've been to many places and kids are always welcome outside. Small area inside for families. If your with kids don't come here. Beer was really good. But I was annoyed at the kids policy read more

Drinks are great! Food is not. Burger is clearly all Costco ingredients, nothing special. Chips with burger were Kettle brand. Bun was not toasted, room temperature. Pizza tastes like it was made of prego, mozzarella and crust from the grocery store. Ranch gives fast food taste vibes. Under average bar food - no hate to the company, as I said, drinks are great! read more

Service is GREAT! Outdoor seating is nice. Sadly, the food was really bad. Pizza tasted frozen and salad was sad. It's hard to ruin a salad but...they did. read more

Great beer in a convenient little spot in Wilsonville. Kind of the neighborhood brewery, fun to be able to drink on their patio! Snacks/food is available but nothing wow-worthy. I'd come back for a couple beers and some pretzels. read more

Vanguard Brewing - a glass of beer on a picnic table - Breweries Near Me - Wilsonville, Oregon

Great beer...Snacks are okay. I prefer the pretzels with beer. Too bad you can't order the pretzels (or any foods) online as take out!

The beers were above average, but the lady working was amazing and friendly, so she overall enhanced the whole experience. Despite this brewery being in a business park, they have a nice little beer garden out in their yard under a big beautiful tree. There are big beautiful trees all over the place. We'll be back again, I'm sure! read more

had a great visit here. I arrived after work. My new office Located in Wilsonville and I specifically meant to try Vanguard for a couple. Located in an industrial park, Vanguard had nice lights strung up on their patio and appeared inviting. I had a teeny bit of work to do, so was hoping for some table space. There were a few folks seated outside. That might've been too chilly for me. Luckily, there was one last table, right at the entrance. Awkward, but funny at the same time. I went to the counter and the fella greeted me. I stated I wanted to get a beer maybe a bite, he asked me to find a seat. It took a good while for service, but hell, I'm glad to be here and there are a few other patrons. Once I got my order in my beer and then subsequently food came in good order. I ordered the Wiggle Butt IPA, fresh and hoppy. Then the quesadilla. It was fun - when it arrived I kind of questioned, but they'd cut it up into bite size pieces. It seemed legit and tasted great, came with chips. The dip or salsa was very agreeable. Nice flavor. Quesadilla wasn't packed with ingredients, but it got the job done. Their beer has come a long way over the last 4 years and their tap room, brewery was festive. Some nice pictures on the wall, beer oriented and other. About $21+ for quesadilla, two pints. Standard COVID protocols in place. read more

I love this place! They provide outdoor seating under the tent with the gas heater that keeps you warm. Very friendly staff and food we ordered were all amazing! It's so good to have a neighborhood hangout type of place close by! read more

This is a very friendly and warm place to visit. The owners take a personal interest in their customers. I much prefer it to the other tap rooms in Wilsonville. Keep up the good work! read more

Horrible service, never will go back. Michael the host or bartender (not sure) turned our group off with his rudeness within 2 min of us walking in with his sarcastic remarks. read more

We love this place! We recently moved to Wilsonville and have been back quite a few times since. We only go when the patio is open because we bring our dog but it's great and we love the amazing patio that is super dog friendly! The beer is great and tastes original compared to some other places who just taste like other breweries. The pizza is to die for! We favor the Wildcat, so delicious! Showed up today at 1:30 but they don't open til 3 but we will be back at opening! :) read more

Omg what a Gem this place is wow! I can't say enough about this place some of the best beer I have ever had is at this place. I'm live in Portland so it's long drive but man is it worth it. I originally found out about This place at the Portland brew fest they had the best beer there. If you go try the Barry White if it's in season but u really can't miss whatver you get. The owners and staff are super nice some of the kindest people I have encountered seriously. If you're ever in Wilsonville this is a must stop and even if you're not it's worth the drive you have to try this place you won't be disappointed. And they Recently added food I haven't tried it but I'm sure it's good I seen the pizza and it looks delicious the owners really put a lot of love and care into everything they do you can tell. read more

Vanguard Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Wilsonville, Oregon

Beers are always good! Very consistent...Staff is great and the owners are very "Hands on" and make you feel welcome! They have since taken over their kitchen and people seem to enjoy the food. Beer garden is also great when the sun is out! read more

Delicious beer! Found the company via a tap house elsewhere. They had the beer listed as a name that I later came to learn was not the actual name! I was searching everywhere for this beer called "TNT" from Vanguard and nobody had it! Well of course not!! It's called BeerTopia! Funny story. Luckily was able to figure that out when I called them. Great help over the phone, and I love that beer. read more

Great spot. We loved having flights to sample all the different beers. And the patio was cool and shady on a hot day.

I went to Vanguard for a retirement party. Our group rented out the entire place for the evening. The bar tender was really great, she was the only one working and was able to take care of everyone in a professional and friendly manner. She gave great recommendations and was very patient with everyone. The drinks were fine but I don't drink beer so I'm not the person to ask about it and I don't watch much sports so I spent most of this party doing both of those things. The food wasn't that great. They offer a few sandwiches and some pizzas. We tried a few things and it just wasn't very impressive. I ordered a bbq chicken sandwich and half of it tasted like it was a totally different sandwich. There was this sweet cinnamon flavor, I don't know what was going on. The space was nice, and I really liked the helicopter parts on the wall and hearing about the owners story. Five stars for the bar tender three for the food and drink. read more

Zero ambiance, feels like your sitting at a bus station. Service was non existent. It just seemed like there was no effort put into this place. Beer is good though - 1 star. read more

What a cute little place to meet friends and have a beer! The staff is super friendly and they even stayed open a little later since it was busy the last time I visited. The only drawback is that they really don't have enough of a food selection. For beer and a place to hang out it gets and A+ from me. read more

Review for beer-so so good. Last time I came beer was good, but not great. They have improved GREATLY. Both IPAs we had were very complex and had excellent hop flavor-I am an avid beer drinker. My husband and I came here last night from Newberg to have their seasonal Berry White. Its pure deliciousness. I was hesitant to order food, but my husband was hungry so we ordered an order of nachos to split- menu said it came with melted cheese, olives, tomatoes, onions and cilantro. When the order came out, it had very few toppings and was missing both the onions and cilantro. Not a huge deal, but for $12 it seemed like kind of a rip off for what we got. When we mentioned it to the waitress that took our order, she just told us, "oh I dont know whats on it I dont work in the kitchen." No attempt was made to make it right or to comp our order. It was pretty surprising. I'll definitely be back for your awesome beer, but ill pass on your food. read more

The beer is good. It is nice that they brew their own beer on site, as well as, brining in other guest taps. Very friendly bar tender. The brewer used to be a pilot so interesting decoration over the bar with old plain parts. The inside atmosphere needs to be worked on more, and other snacks besides popcorn. read more

Clean and fairly modern tap room/bar in a dumb business park area of Wilsonville. The happy hour crowd on a Friday night is mostly professionals and older folks. Barkeep is a friendly young chap. One of the owners roams the room refilling pints, which is a nice touch. Beers are straightforward and traditional. Tried them all except to the Imperial Stout. The pilsner and the Session IPA are standouts. Without the visiting food truck this place could be kind of lame Some outdoor seating would be nice read more

Very rude service. I heard good things about this place but bad vibes. Bummer deal, don't waste your time here.

Cool little place in tualitin. Tapphoria ipa was our personal favorite. Good Day not bad either. The Cuban sandwich we split between the two of us and glad we did. It was jammed full of meat. Very good. Fun place. read more

Steak street tacos Tuesdays and Fridays. Super yummy. Also, love the cider and that any beer can be glamorous with the sparkles.

I love this place. Best beer in wilsonville. The bar is extremely friendly and the patrons have always been good conversation.

If you find me sitting at their bar, its because I found myself needing a good listener, a perfectly balanced Hefe, some games, and my pick of the many single men in and out of this place. Tinder is overrated! Go to Vanguard! read more

Quietest brewery ever. Good flavor though... bartender was sweet, kid friendly if you stay behind a line....

Server Marcia was the most hospitable host I have ever had the privilege to meet. She was knowledgeable and made the tasting room a fun environment. read more

I'm sitting in a hole In the wall burger joint in Carlton, Or and they have your Wit Beer on tap. So good!
