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.

On tap at Chuck's Hop Shop - Seward Park, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals bright grassy, piney hops, some herbaceous notes, and doughy, biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp and bright, with grassy hops, some pine, doughy malt, and a crisp biscuity malt. More like a hoppy pale than a pilsner. It doesn't have the pils-like crispness, but it is undeniably hopped nicely. Good.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent amber with a decent white head. Light aroma of pie spice. Approaching med body. Malty, but dryish. Lightly bitter with very light pie spice. I can imagine squash. Perhaps too subtle for me. Tho pie spice builds. I am not with the majority on this one.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings sweet toasted grains and some straw. Flavour is on the sweet side for the style, with sweet grainy malt, straw and biscuity notes. Too sweet for the style but still acceptable. Alright.
