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 gold with a large creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is grass with a tiny bit of spice; pale malt. Med body or so. Crisp and clean for me. Grass/spice and pale malt crackery. Dry. Modestly bitter. Quite nice.

I wish I was drinking a mass of this kinda tastiness here. Really smooth upfront flavor kick finish damn hard to put back down.

can. Pours translucent 14k gold color with a smallish white head that soon dissipates to a fine ring. The aroma is light with cereal grains and corn. The taste, like the aroma, features grains, breads, hay and mild peppery spices. Bitterness is moderate and well balanced. There is a bit of a sweet malt undertone that works nicely with the spices. The palate is full and seems a bit heavy for the style. Finishes long and dry. Overall: Decent Pils, goes down easy. This is not a beer with big bold flavors--this is a beer from another place in time when subtlety in flavor meant something. As an aside--I question the term 'decocted' on the label, isn't the mashing of malts and subsequent boiling in every single beer on the planet a form of decoction,? or, did they mean something different? wtf. Perhaps what they are trying to say is that they don't normally use whole grain brewing, perhaps they normally use canned powdered malts. Rating marked down a point for stupid marketing.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a small creamy white head. Aroma is citrus/pine with a touch of floral. Med body or better. Flavor is slow to impact but then it's very bitter with lots of citrus/pine and notes suggesting pale stone fruit. Malt support - light and well obscured. Bitter for sure. Excellent.
