This beer is a Kolsch and I always like this beer style due to it's lightness and crispness. That is no exception here with it's clean and floral flavor profile this is an excellent kolsch that I highly recommend if you like this beer style. Another favorite which I have had on more than one occasion is their Czech style Pilsner. Again, a very light beer in which I admire the clean, smooth, hoppy and dry flavors. I am a big fan of pilsners in general and this one is definitely my top favorite out of what I have tried from Heater Allen so far. I have had this beer quite a few times and always come back to it I like it that much. Another impressive beer that isn't any slouch is the Lenzbock, a Maibock style beer. This beer is a malty one but remains light and floral and has a bit of an essence of Spring to it. And then finally I have had the Marzen Lager which I highly recommend as well. Again a malty beer with sweet and subtle notes. I rate this beer very high on Untappd simply because it's a wonderful one to experience and drink. They also do collaboration beers. There was a great beer I had from Wayfinder Brewing, the Teriffica Italian Style Horror Pils, this beer is an Italian style pilsner which I highly recommend (at this point I just highly recommend everything) and loved immediately with it's dry, hoppy, bitter and honey flavor highlights I was instantly in love with it. Of course my instant fondness for it also had to do with their reference to Italian horror films which I am a big fan of with the concept and art for this beer. Heater Allen is a master of light beers and if you get a chance I highly suggest giving their beers a try. My beer drinking experiences with this brewery never, ever disappoint.

Evasion Brewing was the latest McMinnville brewery I got to try lately. I do have to say the beer…read morewas fairly unique and very flavorful that made this brewery experience a positive one. The Batch 3 Imperial Barrel Aged Stout was very good with it's cinnamon, chocolate and bourbon highlights. Buckwheat was also involved in the making of this beer which is gluten-free but I do enjoy the Buckwheat flavor in general as it has a naturally sweet flavor to it. Investigating further into the brewery Google has it listed as temporarily closed and further prodding on my part on Facebook reveals that the owners have been doing well with the business but are deciding to sell it since they don't feel like they have the time to properly run it. I did not learn that new ownership has taken over the reigns yet. So it sounds like the taproom is closed but perhaps call ahead if possible to see if someone is there rather than going there to find the taproom not open. I have also spotted Evasion's products at select liquor stores like Total Wine and Beverage so that may be an option to explore with as well to try out their beer.

Great to have Evasion back open. We stopped in on their second weekend back open. The husband and…read morewife owners are very friendly and helpful.

My sister and I ate dinner here one night while I was visiting. We sat at a window booth and had…read morefabulous service from our waitress Kylie, who was spunky and fun (she wore alien antennae in celebration of McMinnville's UFO Festival which was going on at the time). I ordered the 3 piece fish and chips and a bottle of IBC root beer. The fish pieces were Alaskan cod, tender and with delicious, mild flavor. The cod was covered in a panko crust. I did squirt a bit of malt vinegar on the fish as I like that flavor. The plate came with fries and coleslaw. I am not much of a coleslaw person but this was pretty good. The fish came with a tasty tarter sauce which I just used to dip my fries into. My sister couldn't finish the pulled pork sandwich she ordered so I had some of that too. The pork was tender and flavorful although I wasn't overly fond of the bbq sauce they used. I had dessert! Celia's Homemade Oregon Berry Cobbler. Wow! The piping hot blueberries and strawberries were within a sweet, crisp crust and was magnificent. The cobbler was covered with a huge scoop of Tillamook vanilla bean ice cream. I loved this dessert. This is a comfortable, casual, fun place for a meal. I would definitely come back to eat here while in the old town area of McMinnville.

My order was incorrect, but they were good about correcting it. By the time I received my meal, my dining companion was almost done.

As big fans of de Garde beer, we were so excited to finally visit in person while on vacation…read more We came in around 5:00pm on a Thursday, so it was very quiet. A few patrons came in and out for beers to-go, a few stayed to enjoy beers on-site like us. I quite liked the quiet evening so we could fully soak in the goodness of de Garde beer, the warm atmosphere, and have time to chat with the friendly bartender on shift. We had a few beers on the patio to enjoy the cool coastal air, then moved inside for our next round. We enjoyed sitting in both areas. While all of their beer is phenomenal to us, the stand outs for me were The Purple: Gin Barrel Cuvee and The Renrocha. Although we were flying in from out of State, we took 3 bottles home with us so we could continue savoring the well-crafted beers of de Garde! Can't wait to come back!

I ordered an Old Fashioned and my wife had a Dirty Martini--both were seriously well made. Balanced, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who knows what they're doing. The service was awesome from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and genuine without being over the top. But the real standout is the ambiance. The Cellar truly feels like you've stepped back in time... like you've wandered somewhere you maybe weren't supposed to find. Dim lighting, moody atmosphere, and that tucked-away, old-world vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. If you're looking for a spot that feels intimate, a little mysterious, and delivers great cocktails to match, this is it. We'll definitely be back.
