This was a return visit that was much overdue. If you don't know about the Benedictine Brewery and…read moreyou love artfully hand crafted beer? You need to become acquainted. The monks of the Mount Angel Benedictine Abbey are practicing a centuries old tradition... As part of their daily observation of life, they brew beer. Let me tell you it is absolutely outstanding. The grounds are breathtaking, on a little hillside outside of Mount Angel, just under an hour south Portland. I highly recommend that you take one of the more scenic drives instead of just blasting down I-5, but you do you. It's not a restaurant per se. But there are snacks. And there is a large selection of beer. My partner and I already knew that we had no idea what we wanted because we want everything and that would make driving home extremely difficult. So we opted for the only logical choice: the sampler Their sampler boards come with either four or five slots, and they provide a 4 ounce pour into the sampler glass. We each got a five spot board, and two additional drinking glasses so that we could pour splits, and were thus able to sample 10 of the brews on tap. We also decided that snacks were in order so we got the spinach, artichoke dip, times two. You order at the counter and when your order is prepared, you are called and can pick it up. It's a very simple set up, harkening back to a simpler time in many ways. Some of the taps vary seasonally. Some of them are occasionally just out. I can't tell you what you're going to find. But I can tell you if the Hairshirt, the Half Cloak, and the Little Tyrant are on tap? You definitely want to sample those. This is not typical mid-grade Portland IPA... These are exceptional brews across a variety of styles Highly recommended! I go down every time I get a chance and suggest that you might want to consider that as well

The area is hidden in the hop fields which adds a nice ambiance. There is plenty of parking on the gravel. Lots of seating both in the shade and not, and both large and smaller tables. Would recommend not sitting right in front of speakers since it can be loud. There is a wash station near the restrooms. Near the beer area there is a water station to grab yourself, or your furry friend (they have dog bowls available) a glass of water. Seems like a great get together area. There were a few gatherings going on, but it never felt crowded.

Food varies upon the featured food trucks. While there, friends enjoyed sharing a supreme pizza. Amidst the multiple drink options, there were only two canned non-alcoholic brews to choose from. Unfortunate as the climate of sobriety continues to gain popularity. The featured musician was outstanding, but I think the lack of acoustic sound proofing, mood lighting, and loud talkers distracted from his performance. There should be some sort of separation of those there to enjoy the music and others there to visit out of respect for the performer. Additionally, the poster misspelled his name and had no address (I ended up at another location). Small but notable gaffes.

We ordered the grilled cheese, the chicken wrap, the fried pickles, the pretzel logs, and fries. Prices were reasonable (we had to ask for the happy hour menu though). Unfortunately, the food was okay at best. The grilled cheese tasted burnt and stale, the fries were a little shriveled, and the chicken wrap was dry and pretty bland. The fried pickles and pretzel logs were super yummy and the best part of the meal. We would try somewhere else if we were in the area again.

Reviews made it seem divey but lights weren't turned down low enough for to meet that criteria imo. A bit too cold/wet for us to eat/drink outside but sounds like that might be the place to be on a nicer nite. Menu was pretty extensive for the bar, maybe a bit pricey for what you get -- but the $2 draft beers on Thursday nites was a good deal that made up for that pretty well. I thought my turkey reuben was great; husband liked his steak wrap too (as seen in other reviews' photos comes out on a plate completely unadorned) and ate a bunch of my cajun fries. There was basketball on TV, a pool table, music. All in all a good place to start the vacation and enjoy a decent welcome to town.

But when I heard Matt Spenner was going to be the brew master, excitement crept in. Because if anyone should be able to make good beer, it would be a Spenner. (This is generations of research manifesting itself here, folks). I was not disappointed. To start with, they have some funky names: Citra Lee Ale (named after Matt's wife Crystal, who's a brew mistress (is that even a term?) with Matt), Eukanot Do That on Television IPA (pretty awesome name considering the stuff on TV nowadays), and my favorite to drink, the Schmokin Porter. Their selection is limited, but they have guest beers (and wines), and they'll be coming up with new stuff so stay tuned. The place is open and airy and comfortable. No TVs or one arm bandits here, so you're gonna have to socialize, which is a good thing in my book. Add a dose of country music in the background, and voila, you're soaking in a cool vibe and sucking down some yummy suds. If you want grub, there's a food truck around when you need it. Plus, with the bay doors open, it's like you're chillin' in your bud's new backyard brewery, which is uber cool.
