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.

My 25th Wayfinder rating. 16 ounce can from Tavour. Nearly opaque dark brown pour. Puffy tan head leaves behind nice lacing. Mild aromas of roasted malt and cocoa. Flavor is dark malt, coconut, cinnamon and cocoa. Light bodied, but flavorful.

Pretty clear for a keller. Aromas are malt, cereal, minerals, and a bit of funk. Flavors are similar to nose. Good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Really good drinking. Not so sure about the keller thing.
