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.

Clear body with thin fast dissipating white head. Thin fruit aroma. Full bodied with malt, fruit and floral finish. Better than I expected.

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.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Barely translucent dark brown color. Frothy tan head. Toasted malt aroma hints at chocolate. Flavor upfront is bittersweet chocolate, dark malt and light peppery hops.

(Tap) clear, bright, pale yellow color with a tall white head; aroma of grain, with time an increasing honey; light, balanced flavor with a long, light bitter finish; nice helles not enough smoke character for me

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.
