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.

16 oz can. Aroma is grassy, corny. Pours clear golden with a half finger cap of off-white foam with pretty good retention. Taste is sweet and chalky with grassy, corny flavors. Needs more bitterness and less sweet malt for me personally.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is bready with citrus hop hints. Med body. Very close to dry. More than a bit bitter. Bready malt supports a good deal of Noble grass/spice. The bitterness tends to spicily linger. Very nice flavor.
