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. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is very straw forward with a bit of sweet grain and bit of grass underlying. Flavor is also straw forward with grass and a light sweetness backing.

Definitely a pale lager. Light yellow colour with thin fast dissipating white head. Faint malt aroma. Light taste, malt and a bit of something else. Some hop in the finish. Best on very hot days.

16 ounce can. Pours a medium hazy orange hue with a medium white head. A light tangerine and lemon nose. Rich, orange peel, soft toast, mild sharper tropical notes, maybe a hint of earthy pine. Very good. Love the awesome can. Just killer design.

32 oz growler poured, filled at Hop and Hound. Clean copper appearance, shiny penny, thin foam head. Lots of rich caramel malts, and subtle toffee like noted. Really nice flavorful lager here. Lingering caramel malts. Smooth, easy drinking. Sessionable. Really well done.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Loving this Wayfinder collection that got dropped the other day. Canned 3/30/20. Beautiful sun glow haze, a nice medium foam head and lacing. Creamy body, bold and bitter grapefruit notes blend well with the malt bill. Smooth taste up front, and a bitter linger. Touches of piney hop character to pair with the juicy side. Really tasty and refreshing IPA here.
