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's Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival, pours a cloudy opaque yellow with a golden tinge and a small white head. Aroma of barnyard notes, musty notes and earth. Flavour of earthy notes, lots of barnyard funk and wild, horse blanket notes. Quite a lot of depth for a 5.2% beer. Quite wild and funky. Delicious stuff.

On tap at Saraveza's Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival, pours an opaque bright reddish pink with a small pink head. Aroma of sour cherries and light tartness - smells quite pungent. Flavour is more sour than anything, with muted cherries, and intense sourness from the fruit. Quite a bit of depth for a sub-5% beer. Good stuff, albeit a tad underwhelming in the cherry department.

CBC on tap-pours hazy pale yellow with a disappearing white head. Aroma is citrus-lemon/peach skin, some funk, light malt. Taste is citrus-tart lemon/peach, funk, light malt. Occasional. Nice beer but didn’t strike me as in the berliner weisse style.

Draught Small white head over hazy pale orange beer. Lactic nose, but, once again, 4vinylguaiacol, if subdued, banana. Taste of 4VG in force, impression of toasted malts, lacks cruelly lactic acid, even if there is a light, but dominated acidity. Ends in a mild bitterish-hoppy flavour that, contradictory to all common sense, almost saves the beer. Refreshing - they got that allright at least - light body. Here it is. This was presented as a Wyeast exhibition product, and there is the Bavarian Weizen with its clove/banana, instead of the clean Berliner Weisse it ought to be! None of the Kindl, Schultheiss and similar Weissbiere I ever tasted since the early eighties ever displayed as much of a trace of 4VG.
