Level Beer - Level 1 Brewery & Beer Garden

10 months ago

8.6/10 — Setting 8 Selection 9 Service 9 Food Value 8 Overall 9

Killing time before my flight. Near the airport in an industrial area. Plenty of parking and 4 food trucks early on a Sunday afternoon. Did not eat but the oyster truck was intriguing. Big place. Light seating indoors but a huge patio in what is a modified greenhouse. Dog friendly, welcoming vibe. If you're MAGA you WILL be triggered. If you're not an asshole this is a comfortable laid back place. Tried a flight of six and all six beers were good. Though it was mostly IPAs. Good customer service. Overall I really enjoyed this place and highly recommend.

Talking Cedar Brewery & Distillery

10 months ago

6.2/10 — Setting 7 Selection 6 Service 5 Food Value 7 Overall 6

Kinda at the halfway point on the trek on the way back to PDX from Bremerton, WA. Recommended by one of the better breweries in Bremerton (Deep Draft) and a good recommendation. I was not hungry but the menu looked good. HUGE place. But it seems a little cramped on the inside. I imagine the brewery and distillery make up a good portion of the building. Huge dedicated parking lot with Tesla chargers adjacent. I saw a guy sending his young daughters into the Cybertruck and I consider that alone felony child abuse. Service friendly but very, very passive. Overall, flight of four beers (two IPAs, kellerbier, maibock) were all solid and drinkable. Also safe and corporate. Nothing world class here, but probably nothing bad either. It's kind of a sanitized experience but it's right off the highway so worth a stop.
