Description
Fresh Brews + Fresh Views

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.

7/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
On tap at Gorges - Cascade Locks, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma is delicately balanced between the roasted malt and earthy, piney hops. Flavour is a bit jagged, with earthy hops and medium roasted malt. Not the most assertive or cohesive, but the balance is reasonable. Good stuff.

7.6/10 β€” Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
On tap at Gorges - Cascade Locks, pours a clear blouse with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of dank hops, a bit of sweat socks, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and aggressively hopped, with big, bitter piney hops, big melony hop tang, and crisp crackery malt backbone. Really assertively hopped, finishing bitter and bright. This is excellent.
