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, very dark brown with a foamy tan head. Aroma has a lot of chocolate over some dark malt. Arguably med body. Flavor is sort of chocolate English muffin with somewhat bitter non-descript hops. Smooth and flavorful. Tasty drinker.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a monstrous Guinness style tan head. Aroma is rather roasty/Tmavy. Med body. Flavor is that roasty European malt with some floral hop. Not Noble so far as I can tell. Nicely malty and moderately bitter. There are some dark fruit notes - mostly raisin hints. Mere hints. The malt is the thing here. Delicious.
