Great Notion Brewing - Alberta

8 Best Breweries in Portland, Oregon, Currently Open for Business | Condé Nast Traveler

"In the sunnier months— which Portland does actually have —the sprawling, gravel-lined patio at Great Notion is the place to be, as guests from all over the Alberta neighborhood sip beers at picnic tables covered by umbrellas. Everyone is here for the beer, whether it's a fruity IPA or tart sour beer: Great Notion was one of the first to hop on the sour bandwagon when it opened, and it's done so with consideration and talent, offering some of the best fruit sours and farmhouse ales around. While the tap list is reason enough to visit, the food makes it a true destination. The brewery offers a punched-up sort of bar menu, with a killer fried chicken sandwich, equally pleasing burger and veggie burger, and rice bowls, salads, and bar snacks." - Alexander Frane
