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.

Canned 9/19/25, drunk 11/19/25, as pictured.
Spicy and earthy with that sort of papery French yeast. Unripe, but not acidic apples and fresh herbs with just enough honey-like maltiness to keep it from being too dry.
Same in the flavor, where it's pushing it on the dryness and paper/cracker. But it's got lovely, spicy, fresh herbal hops done right and is clean with light mineral. Interesting and not a cookie cutter pilsner.

16 ounce can from Tavour. A Brewver Top 50 in the Smoked/Rauchbier category. Translucent dark brown pour. Large rocky tan head. Roasted malt aroma has a hint of smokiness. First sip brings dark roasty notes. Hints of chocolate and smoked malt, as well. Smooth and flavorful. The smokiness is evident, yet subdued. Tasty.

Aromas are resin, malt, citrus with spice and floral. Flavors are similar to nose and lean a bit tart. Matched by bitter and enough sweet to work. A little different and very tasty. Good beer.

16 oz can. Aroma has notes of grain, grass, rice. Pours clear pale golden with a one+ finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste is mildly bittersweet with a hint of acidity. Super crushable.
