Years ago when Threshold came into the neighborhood I'd given them a couple of tries and wasn't really a fan. I'm in the area a lot, so finally dropped back in after years away. Surprisingly, I was really impressed. Since then, I've made a few stops in and had great beers every time. Whether they dialed things in or my tastes changed - who cares. Great beer, fun styles, nice variety. Love when they get weird with the flavors, especially. Chill place to hang out, and friendly service. read more

Time for a review update to up them to 5-Star status! Everything from my original review holds true. They consistently have a top-notch variety of their own beers on tap, they have a small but darn delicious unique food menu (and on Fridays they have pirogies, too!), their staff is always friendly & upbeat, there's seating both inside and covered/heated patio seats outside (dog-friendly patio, too), and they regularly have fun events & live music. Located in the Montavilla neighborhood, which has plenty of other great places to shop, drink & eat, I highly recommend paying them a visit! read more

There's a 5k Beer Run Series I found through Eventbrite, and decided to volunteer at it. This Saturday's host was Threshold. Situated where 79th bumps into Stark St., there's a closed off pedestrian plaza with tables to chill at. Not sure if this was only for the event, but there was a piano in the middle of the road, so I'd go with permanent. The 5k started at the brewery, then went up around Mt. Tabor and back down. Had a festive gathering afterwards. Tried the Good Dog Guava sour. Liked it! Took my beer outside and said hi to dogs and people. It was a good event. Looking forward to the next one. read more

Threshold Brewing & Blending - Book Swap - Breweries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I ordered food but they didn't put my order in. After I waited longer than the people who ordered behind me I bought it to their attention. They apologized but then put my order in without priority, so I waited like I had just ordered. It was also full of kids. I liked nothing about going there. read more

Came here for the hot dog week special. This place is tiny and I would never opt to eat here again. Not saying I wouldn't get food, but not a place I want to stay. Server was nice and it didn't take long to get our food. The food itself was pretty simple but was a good portion for the price and had flavor. Parking is awful around here but if you're willing to walk a few blocks if necessary it won't be a problem. The cramped space is one thing, but it seems to be a toddler hangout. Could not wait to finish so we could leave. Almost every table had small children and many seemed to know eachother. Probably why they didn't think it odd to let the kids run around and be excessively loud. They were bringing entire game sets into for this small space. It was about the most ridiculous thing I've seen. Staff does not control the situation. I expect this from a children's play place, not a brewery. Honestly it's nothing special as far as their regular food menu goes and there's plenty of beer to be found around here. read more

Threshold Brewing & Blending is definitely a brewery I walked away being very impressed with! Steve and I had three of their beers. All three being different beer styles so we got a nice, broad view of what we can expect. The first beer was the Plum Decision. Yes, a plum beer. I liked it pretty well. It was definitely experimental and creative with it's flavor with the plum of course followed by dry, tartness, chocolate and sweetness. Lots of complexity there. The beer just kept getting better and better with The Cruise. A Grodziskie beer. Something you don't see much at all. This is a light and quaffable beer with a smoky flavor along with a bready wheat flavor. Very good and something a craft beer adventurer should try. Jack Knife was the final beer of the three. A Milk Stout. Definitely a change of pace as this was a thick, sweet beer but so delicious! Flavor highlights with this are smokiness, whisky and marshmallows. Really a good stout to settle down to for the evening. Most appropriate for on a cold, wintery evening by the fireplace or a crisp evening around a camp fire. read more

Totally have to come back! I was there for the 5K run and enjoyed the hazy and heard others talking about the IPA. Will have to go back to try more beers! Parking is harder to come by and you'll be parking a block or two away on a residential side street read more

We stumbled upon Threshold and it did not disappoint. Ambiance is great, food and beer are fantastic!

Great ambiance but super rude staff. Not sure what the problem was, there were plenty of happy people enjoying a Sun afternoon of music and beer but the behavior of the staff made it uncomfortable and awkward . It's unfortunate that I won't be back. read more

Great little brewpub with a decent assortment of really good beers. Airy with a nice ambiance and pleasant service. You can bring in your own food or order food at the counter. Beer flights are reasonably priced. read more

Super cool spot! We had cider so I can't comment on the beer, but they have a great, spacious indoor area and lovely outdoor seating with heaters. Abe was super friendly and knowledgeable about all their cool drink options. I tried some of the warm mulled hoppy beer. It was tasty and quite warming. I look forward to coming back and trying their beers. read more

Cute, local spot in Downtown Montavilla. They have a lovely beer selection and quick bites. The patio is great for spring and staff is kind.

My partner and I LOVE stopping by Threshold. They offer a great selection of seasonal beers which my partner enjoys while I get to enjoy the smoothie beers - don't knock it till you try it. You can even take some beers home as they have canned options. Try their Polish pizza as a small bite! Great neighborhood spot and so glad we discovered it. Best part: dogs allowed on the patio. What a great excuse to "walk the dogs" and grab a bevy on the way home ;) read more

Been wanting to try this place a while, but their hours made that difficult. Plain post-industrial space with some nice barn wood on the walls. Good range among the tap selections. The three beers I had were all well done, Limited food options. First bartenders very friendly; second one (the brewer) a little quieter, read more

Threshold has a light industrial feel to it that I find just right. Something else that was just right on our most recent visit was a suggestion by the bartender to try two variations as part of a taster. One was the "Jens Bailed Grisette farmhouse ale" and the other was the "Jens In The Woods 'Whiskey' barrel aged" version of the same beer. I've always been skeptical of oddball aging processes, but this was a fascinating and delicious change. The third thing that worked perfectly on our last visit was food provided by Kichana. We had a quesadilla with purple cabbage that I would happily return to experience as a main reason to visit. read more

Great beer. Great service. Great atmosphere. They have 9 of their own beers on tap, all of which are very IPA heavy, plus a few guest taps for a total of 12 drafts. Kid friendly given the games and snack menu, unlike their neighbor, Montavilla, who gave us the boot as soon as the baby in the stroller rolled in. read more

Threshold Brewing is a must-visit craft brewery in Portland. The owners, Sara and Jarek, are an absolute riot. Their dog-friendly taproom and patio are a great spot to hang out and grab a pint in the Montavilla neighborhood. They host events all the time! You won't disappointed! read more

I want to like Threshold and want them to be successful but just can't get behind them. Entire house tap list is IPAs and stouts. If you don't like those styles, there are other better places to check out. Including blending in your name sort of implies barrel aged beers and there have been none on my two visits about 4 months apart. Their clear IPAs finish very sweet, their hazy IPAs are have actually finished drier-tasting with none of the juicy kind of flavor/mouthfeel one would expect when they are labeled NE IPA. Imperial stout was super, super, roasty, out of style. I'll probably come back in a year to see if they have upped their game, until then there are lots of places near and far to hit instead. read more

Only about five of their brews are on tap. I like two. However, the coffee porter left me flat. I like the owner, he's a nice guy, but i feel he needs to get his game face on. Three brewpubs have closed. No mercy. Currently, I feel no need to come back for only two beers. read more

First sip, i'm in love! My hubby and I were in the area cuz we ran at mount tabor then went to over & out for food afterwards.

Cool place solid local brewery good selection came in on accident during their fourth anniversary

This place is amazing. Every beer we tried (and I think it was all of them!) is world class, and I've never heard of a "zapiekanka" before, but I'm going to dream about that thing. This place is a reason to move to Oregon. read more

My husband and I love this brewery. The beer is so good and the atmosphere is chill. Also, they are dog and kid friendly!

Great brewery with awesome beer! Here are some of its amenities: Dogs allowed- outside only Kids allowed- games and chalkboard to keep them company Fun- yoga: last Saturday of the month/ foosball Food- outside food welcome Ambiance- bright and loud Vibe- chill, friendly, low key Staff- very friendly and welcoming Neighborhood- heart of Montavilla Beer- IPA focused and delicious read more

Just updating to say that Threshold's latest hazy IPAs are now among Portland's finest, IMHO: both Schwing! and Green Prophecies are most delicious. And unlike my earlier pre-pandemic visit, they are pretty much canning everything they make. So you may find their cans at Belmont Station, New Seasons, or Green Zebra. Great little spot that seems both neighborhood-y and world-class at the same time. read more

I'm not a fan of IPA but I'll be damned if I don't LOVE their Viscid Dreams! Beautiful day, great space. Munched a cheese platter while enjoying great beer. Highly recommended! read more

Great spot! Friendly staff, calm atmosphere, super baby friendly with a play area and a great changing station. Delicious snacks and encouraging of bringing in outside food from one of the many places around. Glad they had at least one non-IPA, non-stout beer on tap for the 5 percenters and lager lovers (‍). Will definitely be back! read more

Service is friendly, drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a fun kids play area! You can bring your own snacks, order local delivery, or they often have "visiting" food trucks or pop ups. They also have some lights snacks (cheeses, pretzels, etc) available. Love that it's family friendly and will be back. read more

Cool little nice hole in the wall. I plan to bring some staff here soon to try it out. The beer I had was very tasty, I sat at the bar and watched the blazers. For the area, I recommend it. There really isn't a brewery in the remote area, other then the beer bunker. read more

Awesome, kid friendly, independent brewery! Knowledgeable & passionate staff working the counter too. Was happy to be encouraged to bring in outside food to round out our experience. Divine!! Killer beer! read more

Great service and great beer. I really enjoyed the day runner IPA. The Day Runner IPA was very lite and refreshing. All of their beer was good, the Fuzz Face was very bitter and delicious. read more

So glad that there's finally a family friendly microbrewery in our neighborhood that allows minors. Kombucha for my 8 yr old boy and a nice IPA for me without being surrounded by all the hipster douché-baggery you would normally find in the 21 and over microbreweries in Portland. They even had a play area for kids! I recommend highly and their beers - although they only have a relatively small selection, they are however surprisingly tasty and exceeded my expectations. Brewed right there on the spot they have 7 house beers on tap currently and a handful of guest beverages from Phriem and others serving beer, wine and kombucha. I had their Night Porter- a NE style IPA made with Chinook and Simcoe hops(7% alcohol) and their Roma Coffee stout was very good. One of the best things about this place is that you can bring in your own food! Make something at home, bring it in and enjoy it there or there are also food trucks nearby. They have a big screen for Timbers, Blazers and major sporting events, etc. They have a garage door that they open up on nice weather days making it a nice spot to sit there and enjoy the beautiful weather while enjoying your tasty beverages. read more

Portland is the land of plenty when it comes to beer, but Threshold stands out, even in a hood surrounded by more established spots. Threshold opened up in our neighborhood in January, and surprised us with IPAs that were amazing from day one, though everything they brew is expertly crafted, from their Grisette to their Stout. The brewers have seemingly gone from a home brew operation to full fledged brewery without a hitch! The whole operation is a labor of love by two couples, each of whom work the bar in addition to being normal working stiffs and parents, respectively. The vibe is family friendly with a play area for the kiddos. Some snacks available and outside food encouraged. read more
