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.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear light bright gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is fairly Noble. Rather light in body. Flavor is light Noble hop with some breadiness and what is likely a rice note/aspect. Crisp and clean.

US Pint can from Valley Brewers, drank in our Solvang hotel room on 7th July 2024. Clean and clear bright amber/copper body, fast fading white head. Semi-sweet malty feel to this one, light hop bitterness creeps in late on, but it's the malts that make this.

Pint can pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a full deep tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malts, a bit of roasted malts, leading to chocolate blended with a molasses date like note. The taste delivers smooth chocolate malts, chocolate sweetened dark roasted malts a bit of molasses sweetness and then a muted sweet date like sensation. This comes together nicely. I'd prefer a bit of sweet dark grape jaminess to round out the experience. Nice offering.
