Well it's an airport bar. That being said several beer taps. IPA was tasty and fresh and at $8 a fantastic deal for an airport. Apparently there's some corporate rule amongst Hopworks and Deschutes that requires the beer prices be the same as the main brewery. Everything else is airport priced though. Menu looked good. Didn't eat m. Service was solid.

Kind of a combo coffee place / brewery. Small inside but decent amount of seating. Big patio with picnic benches and three food trucks adjacent. Is that a thing here, food trucks just residing at breweries? Bartender confirms it is. They have had up to 6 resident food trucks. Comfy place. Good service if a little passive. 12 beers on tap with 3 hand pulls and a Lukr tap. Plenty of styles. Beer quality good. No flights but small tastes and 10 ounce pours. Worth a stop if nearby.
