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, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a medium beige head. Aroma is pretty restrained, with toasted malt, some muted earthy hops, and a hint of roast. Flavour has dry roasted malt, earthiness, restrained hops, and gentle pine. Nice roast, but a bit deficient on the hops. Good stuff.

473mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Roasted malts, some chocolate, a touch pine. Flavour has roasted malts, a bit bready, some dry pine, bitter finish. Could definitely use more hops and more roast, but still a black IPA so hard to complain.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours light bright gold with a moderate white head. Aroma suggests strongly of rice with citrus and floral accompaniment. Near med body. Dry and decently bitter. Flavor is some rice with pale prunus fruit, light citrus and something almost like bergamot in a very light note. A hint of white pepper. Quite tasty in a light way.

On tap at Chuck’s Greenwood, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a nice mixture of rose petal, light peppercorn, and grassy hops. Flavour is nicely floral, with a real nice rose petal character, light hoppy bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt base. Nicely floral and airy palate. Good stuff.
