Breweries If there’s one thing the breweries of Hood RIver have in common, it’s a passion for craft brewing and breathtaking views, a perfect pairing. Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery incorporates local ingredients into its bold and flavorful beers, dry ciders and even pizza. Sidle up to the bar, grab a table with friends or watch the crowds go by in the expanded outdoor “parklet” seating downtown. Full Sail Brewing Co.’s downtown brewery and pub offers a casual atmosphere and a covered deck with sweeping views of the Columbia River. The brewery’s signature session brew is the perfect lager on a hot summer day. Ferment Brewing Co.’s experimental brews and modern tasting room on the waterfront offer a front-row seat for watching kiteboarders and windsurfers on the Columbia River. pFriem Family Brewers nearby has a diverse lineup of beers — including Belgian lagers, barrel-aged and seasonal beers — as well as sophisticated pub fare. Working Hands Fermentation, located in the Heights neighborhood, is a cidery/brewery collaboration, serving hard cider, pilsner, IPA, helles-style lagerbeer and kolsch. At Solera Brewery in downtown Parkdale, local orchardists, ski bums, farmers and foresters come together to enjoy smallbatch beers and simple food. During the summer, Mt. Hood and surrounding orchards provide the backdrop for Solera’s outdoor stage, which hosts live music on many weekends. Whether you are finishing a day hike or a bike ride along the Historic Columbia River Highway, or are through-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, the small town of Cascade Locks has two breweries where you can sip a celebratory IPA. Thunder Island Brewing Company has traditional Northwest beers as well as seasonal offerings, a simple menu and jawdropping views from its second-story deck. Recently opened Gorges Beer Co. serves Belgian lagers, farmhouse ales and Northwest-inspired IPAs in its airy tasting room.
