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.

Grapefruit and potpourri, pine. Maybe buddha fingers. Pours golden with decent head. Almost like febreeze aroma or something. Quite good. Bitter end, good body. Tap at Churchkey.

Straw and some attic dust. Pours golden with decent head. Easy drinking, basic helles. Decent for style but not exceptional the way the ratings seem to show. Light mercury aroma. Tap at Churchkey.

Aromas are malt, cereal and a bit of fruit. Flavors are similar to nose, pick up a bit of toast, add in more toffee and caramel. Not bad. But not great.

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.

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.
