"A buzzy pizzeria serving grandma-style pies operating inside Little Beast Brewing; it opened April 24 at 3412 SE Division Street." - Harry Cheadle
"Located in the former Lompoc Hedge House spot on Division Street in Southeast Portland, Little Beast is the brainchild of husband-wife team Charles Porter and Brenda Crow. The brewery’s name is a nod to the yeast and bacteria that make the magic happen. Little Beast sells a lot of small-batch, barrel-aged sours, and mixed-fermentation ales in cans as well as bottles, so customers should be prepared to pick a few up to go. The brewery currently hosts Lawless Barbecue in the kitchen space, dishing out Kansas City-style barbecue. The back patio is covered, heated, and is dog friendly. Little Beast also operates a tasting room in Clackamas, on Highway 212." - Ron Scott
"This teensy restaurant in Concordia is so cozy that it feels more than a friend's dining room than an award-winning restaurant—though there's no question once your food arrives. Chef Naomi Pomeroy grew up in the area, but with a mother and grandmother who lived in France and New Orleans, her cooking style skews decidedly French. She’s also a James Beard Award-winner (she was a finalist three times), and we’ve yet to try a dish on her prix-fixe menu that wasn't worth writing home about."
"Housed on SE Division in a craftsman-style home with a large covered patio and lawn that previously belonged to Lompoc Hedge House, Little Beast Brewing opened its beer garden in 2018 and is described as one of the city’s best breweries. I appreciate that owners Brenda Crow and Charles Porter focus on a wide range of beers — lagers, IPAs, saisons, and farmhouse ales — and intentionally stepped back from running a full kitchen so they could partner with a chef; the limited indoor kitchen and ample outdoor space for smokers made them an ideal fit for Kevin Koch’s barbecue. With Little Beast looking to switch up their kitchen, the partnership brought Lawless Barbecue in to helm food service, and Lawless served its first platter there on October 26." - Alex Frane
"Opened in 2018 by Charles Porter and Brenda Crow in the former Lompoc Hedge House on SE Division, the small Little Beast taproom became a cozy neighborhood spot with a compact beer garden where locals would sit out drinking strawberry lemon sours, saisons, and Foeder-aged farmhouse ales. In its short time open it has accrued local acclaim—landing on multiple top Portland brewery lists and taking home honors from the Good Food Awards and Oregon Beer Awards—helping cement its reputation for the wild-fermented and barrel-aged styles the brewery is known for." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
