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.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear golden amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and a touch of toasted dry caramel. Flavour has some toasted caramel, light fruit salad, and dry bready malt. Nice malt character. Very good.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some grassy hops, light herbal hops, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour has a bright grassy hops character, with crackery malt, and an aggressive carbonation that elevates the beer. Simple but clean and well-brewed. Very good.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, almost neutral — lightly grassy. Flavour is crisp and clean, with gentle grassy hops, straw, and crackery malt. Bright, crisp and clean, but not particularly expressive or exciting. Decent.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is gentle, with floral dry hopping and soft rice graininess. Flavour is very clean, with gentle floral hops and dry toasted grains. Not much to say about this except that it's clean. Fine.

Can from Tavour. Pours bright gold with a decent creamy white head. Aroma quite citrus - almost hides the bits of other fruits. Med body. Flavor is very citrus with pine and arguably mango. Not really juicy and quite bitter. Nicely done.

On tap at Shelter. Clear gold.  White head.  Nose is soapy with a little citrus.  It's not bad, it just lacks a little some pop.  Malt and some soap, grass, pine, grapefruit.  Plenty happening but nothing really shines.  Dry finish.  6 4 6 3 12
