Relaxing neighborhood pub/bottle shop with a ton of options, both on tap and in the bottle. As a…read moretourist to Portland, I especially appreciated how many selections were local and new to me, and how it was possible to get smaller glasses of most beers. Also has a great cider and NA selection. Service was kind, prices were reasonable, and the food truck was satisfying with vegan options. Would definitely be there all the time if I lived nearby.

Called a week in advance for an order of half keg of Coors banquet. I told him other distributors…read morein the area, can't get it, but he told me he could and said I will call you if I cannot before it's ordered and let you know if I don't call then it will be here on Tuesday. I called around 12:30 and they told me orders aren't in call at two so I called a half hour later and they told me the orders are in and they said my order was there so we proceed to drive quite a distance to get there and of course they didn't get me what I ordered. They came out with a quarter keg that they already had in stock which we talked about and he said he had to order the half when I get there. No half Keg ,have a party today and now no keg,didn't even offer to help me all he could say was oh we ordered the wrong one and that's all he would do. I wouldn't go back to that place if you paid me. And every one at the party is very pissed off! I done my orders here a few years ago and got the wrong beer that time . One more thing,that place is so disgusting inside I really won't go back.

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!

Steeplejack is kind of doing what McMenamins does, except in a modern way. They take old buildings,…read morein this case a bank, and repurpose them into food and beverage destinations. 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.

TPK Brewing is a super fun brewery that Steve and I have enjoyed twice now. There is a lot to love…read morefor me with this brewery. The fantasy and the Dungeons & Dragons themes are really fun and totally calls to me. So therefore with our first experience here I stocked up on a lot of swag- shirts! My first beer with this brewery was a Red Ale or Amber Ale, The Lady of Embers. This was a very enjoyable first time beer with this brewery. Flavor features in this beer are Caramel, a roastiness, maltiness, biscuity and a dry finish. It proved to be a fun beer to try out for the first time and we were eager to come back and try more of their beers. A bit of time passed and we were able to do that. This time we got three different beers of different types to give us a well rounded experience with their beers. Cascade Falls was the first beer on the second experience that we delved into. This beer is a Cream Ale and I haven't had one in a while so I was quite eager to get a hold of another one again. This particular Cream Ale had peaches and vanilla as the primary flavors and they were pretty good. It was sweet but not heavy handed which made this beer pleasant. This beer was a collaboration beer with another brewery, Thunder Island Brewing Company. After that I moved into dark beer territory and got a stout by the name of The Ashbringer. This one I rated very highly on Untappd because I enjoyed the flavor profile so very much! This stout has flavor highlights of roastiness, a spiced presence, coffee, chocolate and some clove. It was a really well made stout...well balanced and one I really got into. I believe actually this was my favorite beer out of the several I have tried. The last beer was a Marzen beer, a type that isn't too terribly common but always a good one when I can get a hold of it. The name of this beer was the Hasta La Raiz. This is a nice light bodied beer that has maltiness, roastiness, some fruitiness and a bit of a floral presence. It was a fun one to try out for sure. TPK Brewing also serves food and it's quite good! We grazed off of several different appetizers here that we really enjoyed. The first one was the Yuca Frita which was Yucca cut into big, thick French Fries sort cuts and we dipped it into a green sauce as well as a pico de gallo type of dip which enhanced the experience. In addition to that we got a beef empanada that Steve and I split along with the same sauces...also excellent and then to round out our snacking here we got the Arepitas De Queso which is a white masa cake mixed with cheese and then deep fried. It also had the same sauces as the previous two appetizers but we were fine with that... we were all about it and deep into it. Steve and loved this place and would be thrilled to come back to enjoy more of their food and beers !

Warm, welcoming, nerdy, and friendly atmosphere…read more Did I mention nerdy? This is almost just as much of a D&D shop as it is a brewery! If you are not playing Magic the Gathering or D&D, you will feel like the 'weird one'! Beers are good, with a couple lagers, a stout, and some IPA's. The food is surprising! You'd think they'd phone-it-in, but there's a great selection of Latin food. Everything from Cubanos to bowls to burritos.

Personally, I like a good Stout and got something my buddy recommended, the veggie burger without cheese and it did not disappoint! What's even better? While all the places these days have hiked their prices, they seem to be pretty reasonable for what you're getting. That alone has earned them my service! On top of that? The lady serving us was excellent and super on top of her game!

There's plenty of seating, too. I highly recommend the Halibut Fish & Chips. It comes with the fish, fries and slaw, however, I always sub the slaw with their potato salad (it's way better than the slaw). Their portions are very generous, too! Large pieces of fish and a whole lotta fries! If you're ever in the area, give this place a try!

They have a small food menu (snacks like chips, nuts, cheese & crackers plate), but outside food is welcome and there's a variety of local restaurants located next door and nearby that will deliver right to you in the taproom (check their website for more info on some nearby food options). They also hold fun events, so follow them on Instagram for updates. We recently visited them for their annual special event of a holiday treats & holiday ales pairing (4 treats paired with a taster flight of 4 holiday ales for $21) and it was so yummy! We even picked up a couple of vintage specialty Fortside Brewing beers in bottles to take home. The lady working the taps was so friendly & helpful, too, even with how busy they were she always had a smile on her face. They have rustic decor giving it a lodge feel inside. They also have a patio but it's not covered & I didn't see any heaters (it's December) unless I missed them or they just haven't put them out yet. 21+ only inside, with minors accompanied by a parent allowed on the patio until 9PM. Leashed dogs allowed on patio only.

They have minimal food in-house (cheese plate, pretzels, etc) but partner with nearby eateries to deliver to the taproom and at a discount. Check their website or the table signs for more info.

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.
