Description
WAYFINDER BEER is a new brewery project in Portland, Oregon. We have transformed a 8,900 square feet of a century-old brick warehouse in Portland's Central Eastside into a classic destination for beer and food lovers.

Wayfinder is the brainchild of Charlie Devereux (co-founder of Double Mountain Brewery), Matthew Jacobson (co-founder/owner of Sizzle Pie, Quality Bar, and Relapse Records) and Rodney Muirhead (co-founder/owner of Podnah's Pit and La Taq). Our mission: to bring simple and authentic pleasures of the highest quality to the Rose City and beyond.

Guests to Wayfinder will find enjoyment in our 110-seat taphall, or outside on our massive patio. Our menu of handcrafted comfort food features deliciousness from a custom wood-fired grill. We're using our four-vessel, 10-barrel brewhouse to create world-class lagers and ales for onsite enjoyment and wholesale distribution.

16 oz can. Aroma starts out with cantaloupe before leading into tangerine and guava. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness with flavors of pine, guava and citrus.

16 oz can. Aroma is overripe citrus, papaya, guava, orange creamsicle, sex—damn near pungent at first. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately bitter with pungent citrusy hop notes backed by light biscuity malt character.

My 200th Oregon beer rating! 16 ounce can from Tavour. Brassy gold pour is topped by a frothy beige head. Aromas of earthy malt and dried apricots. Flavor is bittersweet and woody. Notes of dried marigolds, thyme infused honey and white peppercorns. An interesting dynamic here. Not your typical Winter Warmer. Finishes dry and spicy.
