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 bright gold with a large white head. Aroma suggests gin with a lime slice. Med body. Flavor is bready for starts, and then gets a little lime and a touch of juniper. Malty but not far from dry. Lightly bitter. Could use more juniper.

Draft pour to a dimpled mug at Special Brews. Copper pour, darker in appearance, cream foam head. Crisp first taste, with bready grains and a hint of dark fruits. Some caramel. Malty flavorful lager with a long lasting palate. Another solid, unique lager from these guys. A trustworthy name within the style for sure.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a clear blonde with small white head. Aroma brings out fairly harsh, dank, piney hops, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is mega-dank, with lots of pot-like piney hops and just enough biscuity malt base. Dank as hell, highly pot-like in the hops. Good even if a bit brutal.

Medium brown, fairly thick head. Toasty, bready aroma. Balanced but a touch of phenol, soft body, light bread - the complexity on the nose isn'�t mirrored here.

Can from Tavour. Pours amber tinged gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma of amber/roasty malt with some citrusy grass. Med body or so. Flavor is roasty/toffee/caramel with grass/spice that's kind of citrus. Arguably crisp and pretty clean. Nice.
