Description
Welcome to Solera Brewery, we’re glad you made it up the mountain to visit us!
Crafting delicious beers is our passion! We also believe creating a friendly and enjoyable environment is equally important. If you join us on a clear day, you’ll see the most spectacular view of Mt. Hood towering over our back patio area. If you’re in town for the snow, or if it’s rainy then pull up a barstool and cozy up in the converted theater we call home. We are located about 20 minutes South of Hood River off of Hwy 35 on Baseline Dr. If you’re traveling the fruit loop, we’re right in the middle of the loop at its southern most point.
We want to create a true public house experience for our guests. This means all orders are taken at the bar, and if a table is open then it’s yours. We have an awesome food menu ranging from snacks and soup to sandwiches and a HUGE burrito. We have a modest (tiny) kitchen so the wait time for food ranges from immediate to an hour or so depending on how many other guests beat you to the order line. Check out the beer list, though. It’s always changing and one of our bartenders will give you a taste if you’re having trouble deciding between them. You can get a taster tray if you want to try them all! We offer an unbeatable outdoor area with one of the best views in Oregon. The general seating encourages our guests to meet new friends and share their experience. We are family friendly and minors are allowed in the designated areas, until 8pm daily, as long as an adult accompanies them at all times. We also allow friendly dogs and conscientious dog owners in our outdoor area as long as dogs don’t come inside the pub. We want all of our guests to enjoy their experience at Solera Brewery so please, come on in, grab a beer and sit back to enjoy the view!

On tap at Saraveza for the 5th IIPA fest, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out metallic notes, with some farmhouse yeast, more metallic notes and some floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with floral hops, bubblegum, metallic notes, and light farmhouse characteristic. Very haphazardly put together, with a acetic, perfumey, metallic finish. Not very pleasing.

Pours amber brown with a tiny head. Aroma of tart berries, sourish yeast, earthy notes and sweet earthy bready notes. Taste is sweet, slightly tart and sourish with some funky yeast, earthy notes and bready maltiness. Finish is salty, sourish and malty with some berries. Okay sour.

On tap at Saraveza, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is exceedingly tart, with farmhouse notes and earthiness. Flavour isn't as tart, with sour fruits, nuttiness, and earthy farmhouse notes. Well-balanced with ample tartness.

On tap at Saraveza, pours a murky dark amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out spicy farmhouse notes, toasted wood and almost a little smoke. Flavour is crisp and farmhouse-y, with spicy Belgian yeast, lightly tart oak, and earthy notes. Really well-balanced, lightly tart and spicy. Great one.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours murky yellow with a small white head. The nose is tart, juicy fruit, orange squash, tangerine and white grape skin. The taste is soft fruit, big alcohol hit, earth, citrus peel, mild bitterness and orange squash with a dry, alcoholic finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Unfortunately the alcohol dominates the flavour...
