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.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some dankness and a herbal character. Flavour is old school, with lots of piney hops, some bitter citrus, and toasted biscuity malt. Piney and dry, with a nice crisp bitterness. Excellent.

Golden, sweet and a little too simple. Doesn't have the bready malt development I need in this style. Aiming a little too close to swill on this one.

Amber, medium head. This has a lot of fruity hop - orange and also some pine. Almost too much malt, as it's light but might be too chewy if you a few pints.

Slight haze, nice vibrant amber. Bready malt and quality spicy hop. Full malty body, but dryish in the finish with fun spicy hop.

Draught. Aroma is espresso, espresso, espresso but very good espresso. Malty taste with more expresso and a hop edge. Coffee and beer finish. Normally I prefer my pilsners unmixed, but this was good.
