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 Belmont Station, Portland, Oregon. Pours a clear straw colour with a small off-white head. Slightly sour aroma of grass, wet hay and minerals. The flavour has more grass, sweet malt, hay, white bread and spicy hops. Has a slick mouth feel, light to medium body and light to medium bitterness. A balanced and fresh pale lager. Solid taste but weak aroma.

Draft pour pint at Wayfinder. A golden orange pour with plenty of rocky foam head. Spicy aroma, as advertised. Flavor is cool up front. A clean flavornto this saison. Soft spice, good hop impression. Moderate floral notes from start to finish. Quite a refreshing saison, upon first sip. Has a slightborange fruit character built in. Solid saison here, and far from ordinary.
