12 Hardcore Portland-Area Brewpubs

"What sets Ecliptic Brewing apart from the rest in Portland isn’t just the astronomy theme, or the giant patio: What really puts it on the map is the food menu. While patrons here have the option of multiple favorites and flagships — like the well made and balanced Phaser Hazy IPA or the tart and fruity Carina Peach Sour — they can also chow down on some exceptional dishes like broiled oysters served with a bacon and shrimp bechamel or pan-roasted chicken in hot and sour egg drop soup. Ecliptic has a truly elevated brewery menu, and customers here can work their way through it while soaking in the sun through large windows all around the building, or outside on the large, dog-friendly patio." - Ron Scott
