12 Hardcore Portland-Area Brewpubs

"As one of the pioneers of organic beer in Portland, Hopworks Urban Brewery has been a mainstay on Powell for 12 years now. Its taphouse features upper and lower levels, a kids’ play area fully stocked with toys, and 20 taps full of IPAs (both hazy and traditional west coast-style), stouts, and even a house-made cider. Here, diners can crush bar snacks like wings and warm pretzels, but it’s the calzones that make this a necessary stop for the hungry. The warm baked crust is practically bursting with organic marinara, herbs, and a seemingly endless selection of other toppings. On Friday evenings and weekends, this place fills with families and Hopworks does not take reservations during these times due to limited seating" - Ron Scott
