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.

Flavour is loaded with bright piney hops upfront, light oily resins, and crisp crackery malt. Wonderful piney hop character with great assertiveness and ample bitterness, while still being moderately juicy. Excellent.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out loads of coffee upfront, with lager yeast and toasted malt. Flavour is wonderfully structured, with loads of coffee, sweet malt, light molasses, and toasted bread. Really well-balanced and structured; the ABV is scarily hidden. Excellent.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out pungent piney hops, some dankness, and resinous hop oils. Flavour is intense but balanced, with pungent piney hops, resinous hop oils, and biscuity malt. Piney, resinous and dank finish, with just enough sweetness to hold it together. Excellent stuff.
