Portland’s craft-beer revolution is going on four decades now, known for a style all its own. Hop-forward IPAs are certainly a favorite here, but it hardly stops there. Brewers — including more and more female brewmasters at the helm — are always working on their next seasonal innovations, whether it’s a tart and refreshing sour or a dark and toasty stout. Breakside Brewery’s IPA has taken home multiple gold medals, one of the best in the country. Widmer Brothers and Deschutes Brewery are granddaddies of Portland’s scene, while buzzy newcomers like Von Ebert Brewing, Level Beer, Baerlic Brewing and Upright Brewing bring a fresh mix of styles, flavors and ambience. The rooftop bar at 10 Barrel Brewing Company offers gorgeous views of the Pearl District, and the packed patio at Migration Brewing is a fun scene.
