Went to their Nano Brewfest, they didn’t have many guest taps, luckily they let me sample what they had on tap in there regular bar area as well. Their Vanilla Porter (4) is very smooth and not too sweet, I couldn’t taste the vanilla though. Dry Hopped Pacific Red (3) was hoppy with just an average hop flavor. Golden (3) had a bit of Belgian yeast taste. Baltic Porter (2) and Scottish (2) where both way too sweet. My buddy liked their IPA ("4," I don’t usually try IPAs).

Family friendly with lots of space for big and small groups this was a nice pub. They had a small area for the kids to play which helps when they get tired of listening to daddy and mommy talk about beer. With the brewery right up front you can watch as they are moving about and making a new batch of beer. The food was regular pub fair which is awesome for me. Club sandwiches are for me I think I should rate all the club sandwiches I have ever had. The brews where pretty tasty they had some flair and some interesting flavors to choose from. The Belgian influence was in a lot of the brews. I really liked the Vanilla Porter it was subtle with vanilla, smooth and creamy. I can see why lots of people like this place there is a good vibe and fun brews to have. The parking can be a tad touchy and the traffic in the area can be a tad awful.

In the heart of old downtown Tigard. Was served by Steve a gregarious barman who was very helpful and interesting to chat with. The brewpub is a bit industrial looking but is trying hard to look inviting. I will try the outdoor area next visit. The beers were mostly what they brew with a decided tilt toward the Belgian styles. They have an interesting menu which I will explore later but I was on my way to a family gathering and didn’t want to fill up. I sampled at least five beers and bought a growler of their HPA for the party. The beer was consumed rapidly and with great relish. By the way they no longer stock the bottled Belgian beers due to a lack of demand. Their versions are quite nice though. There is parking behind the brewpub. Overall I enjoyed the visit.

Owner, brewer, proprietor Max offered up a great selection of beers that ran the gamut from hearty dark ales to Belgians to crisp summertime lagers. Atmosphere of building was a bit of a work in progress and a bit sterile, though clean and well maintained. Brewing facility was very nice, though tightly fit. It was obvious that Max is a top notch brewer. His beers at Tucks were always good, too. Tigard itself is a town to be desired, but this little oasis is worth the trip.

Big building with a great feel inside. Nice painted murals on the walls with glass windows to see into the brewing system. The bar was amazing, the staff told the story of salvaged wood from the bottom of the river. There were about 10 taps pours a great variety of beers as well as a cooler full of some great Belgian beers. Food was delicious. My only complaint was the service was slow, but it was very busy and they haven’t been open long, so that will iron itself out. It also seemed a bit bright in there, the bright lights kinda reminded me of working in an office, which was just what I was trying to escape.
