With dreams as vast as the Columbia Gorge, our team of brewers and beer enthusiasts came together in 2019 to change the way we drink beer in the Cascade Locks. Our journey to the gorge starts at the Trailhead Taproom in Southeast Portland. Since March 2020, it has been steadily paving the way to our Cascade Locks location, which will feature a brewery and pub, hotel, event space, and dog park. In the meantime, meet us at the Trailhead!
Admin Note: In 2021, Gorges Beer Co. will open a 1.8-acre destination in Cascade Locks on the Columbia Gorge. Our vision includes a dog park, event/wedding venue, amphitheater and hotel.
On March 6, 2020, our Trailhead brewery in SE Portland opens.

On tap. Pours a light brown hue with a small white head. A big malty and whiskey nose. Rich, sour mash, some big woody flavors from the barrel, toast, light chocolate. Very good beer. I thought that this was closer to 10%.
