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.

Aromas are traditional pilsner with pretzels, minerals and a touch of hops. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly more sweet than bitter with excellent carbonation and just right body. Clean, refreshing and satisfying. Very nice beer.

Aromas are wet grain, malt, grassy hops and a hint of barnyard. Flavors are similar to nose, hops come out more along with a bit of MJ. Good body and carbonation. Nice beer. Easy to drink more.

Pour is a near black with a large mocha tan head. Aroma is sweet molasses and some caramel malt. Flavor is more caramel malt with a minor roast. Finish is a bit sweeter than I would have liked. Decent but not the best of its kind. A little too much sweetness and not enough roasted malt.

Lots of sharp pine in this. Nice body, bitter piney end. Big hops on the nose. Solid cold IPA. Clear golden pour with pretty good head. Can.
