12 Hardcore Portland-Area Brewpubs | Eater Portland

"McMinnville’s Golden Valley Brewery opened this Beaverton brewpub in 2012, with a sprawling dining room that seats 200 and a south-facing patio that can fit another 85. Its full menu and vibe certainly feel more restaurant first and brewery second, but the beers made by this old school craft brewer have been dialed in over more than 25 years, and the attention to detail by brewmaster Piper Gladwill is apparent. The portions at this family friendly brewpub are massive; for instance, the cider-brined pork schnitzel comes covered in a lemon caper brown butter and loaded up with kolsch-braised cabbage and confit fingerling potatoes. It washes down well with the Carlton Kolsch or the gold medal winning Beaverton Blonde ale." - Ron Scott
