Mt. Hood Brewing Co.

Great food and service at Mt. Hood Brewing in Government Camp! We stopped by on the way to Timberline Lodge. Great Shrimp Tacos, Mac and Cheese. We sent complements to the chef! My margarita was.... a real drink! Everyone was warm and friendly, an excellent experience! We wanted to save money and have more menu options, on our trip to Mt. Hood, and this is a cool way to do that!

Mt. Hood Brewing was a great place to stop after a day of traveling and exploring. It was a great homey feeling while feeling like we aren't in the Midwest anymore. The artwork was so unique and so cool to look at! The service was a 10/10. Our server was in top of it with getting us situated as soon as we sat down. Our group ordered a few different drinks and food options. They had a great selections of beers and mixed drinks. There is something for everyone in the group. They range from super light beers to double IPAs. The pretzels were absolute worth the money. They were soft and salty, with the cheese it was the perfect combination. For dinner, I ordered the burger. It was 10/10. It was the perfect amount of food and the fries were cooked to perfection! I did get the burger sauce on the side. I would recommend rather than getting it on the burger. You will want to dip the fries into it! Someone also ordered the gyro. They highly recommended as an entree. If you are traveling in the area, definitely stop by for a beer, app, or even dinner!

I was pleasantly surprised with... well everything. Government Camp is well known for its for it's restaurants, it's an eat to live place, not a live to eat kinda place destination. That's said, O had low expectations, and MHB surprised me with the quality of my meal and the service. We had the burger and tacos and both were delicious. I actually wanted to go back the next day they were so good. 100% would recommend!

Mt Hood Brewing makes beers of all kinds and also a cider. The flagship is an IPA that's been in rotation since 1992. They're all pretty alright beers in that none are bad, but then none are terribly memorable, either. There is a dry cider which was a nice change of pace. I didn't bother with the food thanks to the pricing, but a $12 flight of beer with six tasters is a pretty good deal. However, I was told that I could order fewer tasters at a reduced cost. If 6 taster beers cost $12, then my 4 tasters should cost $8, yet I was charged $10. It's only $2 but it matters. Service was solid otherwise. Restrooms are downstairs and clean. There's a back patio and regular indoor table and bar seating.

Well, we arrived on Monday at noon and they were out of pizza (yeah all of the types) and soft pretzels. The service was spotty. Our server never returned after delivering the food. I had a salad and husband had a cheeseburger. His burger was pretty good, cooked well and had all the fixings (lettuce/tomato/onion). The salad was nothing special but it was fresh. The restaurant was busy but not excessively crowded. Our server spent time at the computer by the bar and less time refilling water and checking on tables. Overall, this family owned restaurant needs to focus on service. The ambiance and food (what they had available) was worthy of at least 4 stars. We will try a different place if we are in the area again.

Must stop for lunch or dinner after fun snow activities! Great selection of house-made beers on tap and good pricing is very reasonable for being in Government Camp. We a little before the diner rush time so we're seated right away with accommodations for a baby and a toddler. This place had such a cozy cabin vibe with the fireplace some vintage mountain illustration posters from their beer logos and local scenery. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs (especially double checking menu items for our friend who is gluten free) The Cajun wings came out hot and crispy and they did not skimp on the serving size! My fish and chips came out hot and fresh and the tartar sauce was really good too. Not pictured but the pub burgers hit the spot and the gluten free pulled pork pizza was a hit too! Will come back here next time we return to this area for sure!

Stopped through here while staying in Govy for the weekend. I had the Phlox tacos and the Ice Axe India Pale Ale. Both were pretty good! The real drink to have was the special Hazy though - talk about smooth! We had a group of 8 plus a baby and they were easily able to accommodate. The food came pretty quick too! I will say, it got busy toward the end and they took quite a while to bring the check... but that's the only negative! The rest was great!

Delicious beer battered fries. Onion/mushroom burger was over done with cheese, onions, mushrooms it hid the burnt areas mostly. Phlox tacos were so yummy and tasted homemade. The service was fabulous. Note: an automatic 3% tip is added to your bill for the kitchen staff. The hostess also a waiter had long greasy hair-unappealing especially when bringing condiments to the table touching his armpit. Restrooms are downstairs - not wheelchair accessible. Seated beside a swamp cooler, a tad noisy. Pizza wasn't available crust dough wasn't made for out 1:00 pm visit.

food was delicious, hits the spot after hiking around the mt hood area. pretty busy but worth the wait. i'd come here again if i was in the area.

The beers are outstanding, I had the smoked porter and for dining I had the fish and chips. So delicious! My son had a beyond burger and like a magic trick, made it disappear! We got there right as the place opened, so the service was friendly and super quick. Great rotation of music spanning multiple decades and TV's on to watch sports. This was our third trip here and it was great!

Food good, service good, beer good. Nice place. Pizza was good, poutine was good, blackberry cobbler was good. Happy camper. Would eat here again.

Our server was very friendly, attentive and efficient...and patient with my friend's poor-taste jokes. Cool restaurant brewpub vibes. Food was tasty and better than we expected it to be. Not that we didn't expect it to be good! I really enjoyed my BBQ blue cheese burger. It had the right amount of bbq sauce. Not too much that it was overpowering or making the bun soggy, and not skimpy either. I didn't have the beer but the two of us who tried it loved it and bought a growler to take back to our Airbnb.

Proximity to our hotel, made it an ideal spot for late dinner after a very long hike. Unfortunately there was a wait even aroun 7:30 in the night, nonetheless it was less than the 20 mins they had mentioned. It wasn't crowded inside and there were few groups of people seated outside as well. Our server was a fast talker but real nice guy with happy to help kinda attitude. We ordered Deviled eggs for appetizer and it was okay. I ordered the huckleberry drop for my drink and it was a refreshing drink. My husband had the Multorporter and Imperial for beer and loved them. For dinner he had the shepherds pie and we all tasted a bit...very surprised how good it was considering it was not a normal bar food. Nice potatoes topping and the lamb was so tasty! Rest of us had the Pepperoni pizza, Meats pizza and kids pizza. The food orders came blazing fast! But boy the pizza was so so good...crunchy crust, not thin and neither doughy. The cheese and meat were so perfect in their ratio as well. We could have inhaled the pizza, we loved it that much. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the Mt hood area.

Two in our party ordered Shepards pie at $25. When the order came it was 95% potato's 5% meat. One in our party owns a successful coffee shop and our party of 4 are homeowners in Govey. We asked the server for some more meat. After the extra meat arrived we discussed that it might be a possibility with the cook spitting in the meat. The cook, after having a beer proceeded to walk by us and made a luggy sound upon exiting for the night. Our fears were confirmed with this experience. Disgusted.

Talk about nice little brewery up in the mountains of Mt Hood. Even better is it was located next to the hotel stayed at for 50k ultra race weekend! Portland area is known for lot of great micro brews. I would definitely put Mt Hood Brewery right up there with the best. The locations like mention right off main interstate on the way to Mt Hood. It looks like popular spot people going up mountain or post chill over beer from day skiing/snowboarding or whatever. The patio area really like might be small but the view. U feel like in ski resort town. Nice little wooden deck area and all around most part see lush trees healthy green, feel higher elevation, and so peaceful. I ended up getting one of the lighter beers. Tasty. Food since carb loading pre race for Pete Plunder pizza. It was meat lovers dream. The ham, sausage, and pepperoni. Pizza sauce nice pinch sweetness and kick. Really really good pizza. I would come back again.

Let's start with the negatives, since that's how it started the minute we encountered this restaurant, for me anyway, other member of my group comes to Mt. Hood quite frequently, and stops here now & then. He can do his own review! 1. They do not allow dogs, ONLY service animals. It is summer and it's hot, we can't leave the poor pup in the car, the relatives are visiting (so are we) the area. 2. We either have to eat outside where it is sunny (there's an umbrella that keeps moving, when it's tilted). But we have children, and one adult with shingles and have had skin disease in the past, thus very VERY sensitive to the sun. 3. We can leave the son with a dog (and eat by themselves outside), and the rest of us, eat in the comfort of inside dining. 4. Option 3: We can bring it back to the cabin, but son and dog don't want to drive back in those bumpity-bumpity roads, plus he needs to get back home. But, our host decided on eating here, even with all that negatives, and I'm not adding, mostly that was just a whine! Let's add the positives: The BBQ Burger & Fries are both excellent! PLENTY of outside cold water, for the customers, on a hot day. Our 4 years old grandson, made many trips, accommodating us! The macaroni and cheese, I was told, was the best in town, that he ever had! My Phlox Taco, was a bit SPICY, but I could only eat one out of three, because I was saving the rest of my lunch the next day. (Food taste better the next day!) Note: I really didn't enjoy my taco, because there are spices here & there, that made me tear up. Will not be ordering it. Granddaughter had the Chicken Strips comes with Fries. I didn't ask how she liked it. The grandson FEASTED ON FRIES. He was more happy being our water boy!

6-choice beer sampler: Strawberry-Rhubarb Sour: light, Old Battleaxe Barleywine: slightly thick and bitter, Hogsback Oatmeal Stout: light for a stout/medium flavor, Phlox Point White Ale: refreshingly light/slight bitter, Mt Hood Lager: clean/fresh lager, Scotch Ale: nice strength. Busy on a Sat. eve after skiing, 30-45min wait, but it went fast. Seating was courteous, wait staff was fast and efficient w/ frequent check-ins. Beers we're good, the 'Stubborn Soda' Pineapple Cream flavor was deeeelocious. Mushroom & Onion burger w/ Munster cheese was delicious...good caramel on the onions, and then fresh sautéed mushrooms real came thru and made the burger. The New England Clam Chowder soup, while thick/creamy and good...after 3-bites left me with a feeling of 'Is this a chowder?' It's more like wild rice (no rice) meets bacon with clam chowder. It's a good soup, just not a clam/seafood chowder if you're expecting that flavor. Ample seating, noise is loud with background music adding to that. While access from the parking lot has a ramp to the main door, restrooms are down a flight of stairs. Winter access is limited more with snow, shoveling seems to be moderate at best around these parts.

This place seems to be pretty busy every time I drive by. I really wanted to like it, while it wasn't horrible, I might try it again, it just wasn't working too well when I stopped by. I had a cheeseburger and a Phlox beer. I enjoyed the beer and the burger was pretty good. Unfortunately, I waited a super long time to get help even though I was seated right in front of the bar. The place wasn't packed, it was busy, but waiting at the booth for over 15 minutes? I almost got up to leave, but just when I was going to do that, a waitress walked over. She was very nice, which I appreciated after the long wait. I'd say this place is a little overpriced, but where is it located, what else would I expect? Also, not the restaurants fault, but some dude took off his boots and rubbed his feet all over the bar and then took off his socks and did the same thing. I was pretty disgusted by this and how gross and thoughtless people can be.

Delicious burgers, fries and the Reuben sandwich was literally amazing! My dad, 79 years old, said it's the best Reuben he's ever had and he's had quite a few over the years! Even their pickles are top notch! Service was just as good as the food! Well done Mt. Hood Brewing!!!

Didn't try the food but the beers were great! The outside seating was nice with a breeze from mt. Hood.

Food was delicious. The Mac and cheese was to die for with the pulled pork. Yumm and the Pountine was rich and filling. The service was fast all 3 times we were there. Loved it

After a near-summit of Hood (long story), we were looking for some libation hydration. I was here with my partner that had never been on Hood. We were looking for a post-climb beer. And there weren't many options open at 11:00am. Timberline Lodge was inbetween breakfast and lunch. Skyway wouldn't open for another 2 hours... So...I have never had good experiences with Mt Hood Brewing, but I decided to give them a 5th chance. Well, the main server was very kind. That's about the only kind thing I can say. My main gripe comes from this beer they had, called "Strati-fied". It's a fresh hop beer made with wet Strata hops. It was gross. I say this as someone that can appreciate nearly any type of beer, and especially loves fresh hop beers. Not only that, Strata is one of my favorite hops to brew with, and I order pounds of it every year. This beer tasted rotten. It tasted like rotting fruit. It tasted like the smell you get in your refrigerator when something in the crisper drawer is getting fuzz on it. There was another guy at the bar that calmy and quietly brought up this beer to them (he was drinking a sampler/flight)...and mentioned, almost embarrassingly, that he homebrews sometimes. He said something like "I think something is a little off on the strati-fied, you might want to give it a taste." We then saw the bartender bring this up to the other bartender that then pulled a sample and said "this is exactly how it's supposed to taste". They then told him maybe he doesn't like Strata hops or that maybe he's never had a fresh hop beer. I was so triggered that I honestly didn't say anything to them because, I don't think I would be able to keep my cool after this sort of gaslighting. I feel like I was primed to like this beer. This beer seems like it was tailor-made specifically for me. The hops that many more traditional brewers don't like, because they perceive them as tasting like overripe fruit (Citra, Mosaic, Strata, Sabro, Medusa)...are some of my all-time favorites. In fact, I'd say 90% of what I brew uses those strains. (I have a pound of Strata hops in my freezer right now!) Furthermore, Onsite Brewing (up here in Anchorage) currently has a 100% Strata fresh hop on tap that is AMAZING! I think what frustrated me even more, on a personal level...is that I could not troubleshoot what it was that I was tasting...and what the root cause was. If this was my own beer, I would have NO IDEA how to correct this. The other homebrewer mentioned something about yeast but...I don't think so. There was no weird umami/smoky/plastic flavors going on here just...really bad, moldy, spoiled fruit flavors. I have never tasted this flavor in any beer I've ever had (I've had thousands of different beers). I think that's another reason I just didn't think it would be worth it to speak up about this beer, I had nothing constructive to say. Usually I would just describe their beers as being "safe and boring...but not offensive". But this one was like a sucker punch to the face. It was aggressively terrible. Mt Hood Brewing, if you read this, PLEASE investigate what is wrong with this beer and/or take it off tap. And also, please update your space. It looks like a generic airport restaurant.

Lower Gov'y is the home of Mt Hood Brewing. An excellent location surrounded by many adventurous opportunities. Before, after, or during your adventures you can take advantage of good food and drink. Don't forget the Tilikum Station location. I have visited the brewery many, many times over the years while mountain biking, hiking, skiing, or paddling on the mountain. After our latest snow boarding excursion, we stopped here to cap off the days events. I had the Oregon Rockfish and Chips. Kids had chicken strips, classic Reuben, and the breadbowl New England clam chowder. Plus beer and root beer. Everything was just awesome. I took home a bottle of Magnetic North Stout. Westland barrel aged imperial stout. Wow, just fantastic flavors in this creation. I need to climb up the mountain soon again to get more as that bottle did not last very long at my house. Mount Hood Brewing has improved with age, growing into a landmark like the one it is named after. Over all these years: - The food has always been tasty. - The beer always wonderful, in house or take home. - The service friendly and attentive. - Facility clean, comfortable, with different seating areas. Booths, tables, bar, high tops, back out of the way, next to the fireplace, or seasonal out on the deck. - And the location is the center of adventure awesomeness no matter the time of year. Mt Hood Brewing is one of the rare, deservingly earned, 5 star establishments.

Quick stop around the loop and had a beer. Had the cascadian pale ale and highly recommend.

Cute and clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed the Phlox white ale. Had a delicious burger... quality cheese, bun and meat. Server Alex was very nice.

I recently had lunch with my family from California after a long drive we needed to eat, so we found ourselves at Mt. Hood Brewing. The vibe was so welcoming and warm, the manager there was incredible as was the crafted culinary meals we found ourselves enjoying thanks to the cook Alex. The food was amazing and the service was equally experienced...will be back for sure! PS- if you have to wait for a table it's worth it

I think this place would be fantastic for picky eaters, and people with a palate for simple food. For anyone who isn't in one of those two categories, maybe choose a different spot. Classic case of "quantity over quality" that I feel like a lot of modern breweries are falling into unfortunately. I'd give an extra star for service if that counts for anything! Our server was attentive and quick with our table's requests. We did unfortunately feel packed in like sardines at Saturday lunch, but I'd expect no less for a winter weekend. Final note: please avoid the poutine if you respect yourself. It was borderline inedible because of the gravy. You win some you lose some I guess.

Nice place to stop for a brew and lunch on long drive. Fresh salads, decent burgers. Good selection crafted beer. This is not fast food, relax, enjoy a beer while you wait for the kitchen to make your food fresh. It can be a little noisy with lots of people enjoying conversation and laughing however that is part of the experience. Take a few crafted beers with you to enjoy at home.

Good staff and working hard to get everyone seated quickly. Basic burger and fries. Interesting soup was fun to try instead of fries. My friend liked the pizza. Would I go out of my way to eat here ? No. But for basic food and to grab a drink after the snow it works.

It was a busy Saturday so I'll grant them some credit for getting us a table quickly, but the place was loud, the service was mediocre and the food was meh. The beer was good but the poutine and burger both seemed pretty generic. The burger especially was just a poor frozen burger party with a white piece of iceberg lettuce and a mushy tomato. If you get fries ask for them extra crispy, especially for the poutine - they are good and it makes them not get too soggy for the meal. When the burger costs the same as an order of poutine though you except them to be equal in taste and value and they are really not. Stick to the beer here and be happy I guess.

For a restaurant that prides itself on being a popular spot for skiers and hikers going up Mt. Hood, Mt. Hood Brewing is remarkably mediocre. The food is half-decent, but medium well burgers topped with lettuce stems fail to make up for the shocking lack of hygiene exhibited. While waiting to be seated, our family noticed a COCKROACH climbing around the restaurant area. Hoping it was just an anomaly, we were greeted at our table by several(~7-10) ants climbing up the wall. Any appraise of the Brewing Co. can probably be accredited to the location, as road trip fatigue and hunger attributed to our poor judgment of ignoring the red flags of literal cockroaches perusing the restaurant. The service was fine, except one server spoke so loudly that there was no hiding from the yelling of questions about customers orders. There was two Diet Cokes brought to our table that tasted remarkably sweet and watered down, prompting our family to begin to fear we were going to star in a poorly produced remake of The Hills Have Eyes. Instead of going to Mt. Hood Brewing Company I would recommend eating about 30 minutes earlier in Sandy, or perhaps continuing on a few miles to the arguably finer establishments of Government Camp.

This place has a great vibe and great drinks! We went here on our way down from the mountain!! And it was great!

The guy who greeted us wasn't very friendly and didn't know what was on the menu; however, our server was very nice. We were staying at the Best Western next door and just walked over around 7:15 for dessert. The hot chocolate was wonderful! A large was $4.50 and it came with whipped cream and Heath bar topping. The house cider was also pretty good. The marionberry cobbler was $9 and the size of an entire pie! It definitely could'Ve served 6 people. I wish it had 2 or 3 scoops of ice cream instead of one, but all in all it was hot and delicious on a cold Saturday night!

Great fish. Luke at the bar helped me in an emergency by finding me a lift. What a great guy!

Hard to miss I'd you're heading up to Government Camp. It's right on a corner with ample parking. They take their COVID precautions seriously. There's a waiting area where you scan a QR code to view their menu. Once ready, they flag you up to the bar counter in the back, so only one customer at a time can order. While we were there, they gracefully kicked out some folks who wouldn't wear masks. They have superb crispy hot onion rings! It comes with some BBQ sauce drizzled on top, which is a nice touch. Can't comment on the beer, but our friends enjoyed it after bringing home a growler of one of their stouts.

The staff was really nice and the food was pretty good. The fries were great! Only thing is I wish there were more vegetarian friendly options.

Stopped for a beer and lunch. Great outdoor seating where we could bring out 2 Labs. Waitress even gave the dogs water. Beer was great and the food also. Would def stop here again.

Good vibes, good service, great food, great beer. What more can I say. Excellent option after a long day of hiking the mountains.

Food and service were so so. I asked for a Diet Coke and they didn't tell me it was RC until I asked if the coke was going out as it barely had flavor. Expensive for what you get too.

Excellent food. The Mac and cheese was everything I want from pub Mac and Cheese, perfect sauce that actually clings to the noodles. Service was excellent and the place was very cozy. Perfect mountain d

This place is the best! After a long drive, we pulled into town and found this place. The place was busy, so we settled in and played cards until we were able to order. In the meantime, the staff was wonderful, including the manager. We felt welcomed by everyone. Then the food came out. I had the tacos - highly recommend. The pizza was fantastic, too. Everyone at our table loved what we got. Definitely try this place!

Food and service was great, went the day after Xmas and they were short staffed but did what they could with large parties coming in. It was all hands on deck and they did their best. Good and drinks were awesome!

Walked 3.5 miles from dispersed camping for a beer! Sat at the bar and Mathew was awesome! Place was busy and lots going on but he was very attentive, calm and relaxed! Citrus Sour was yummy and we also had a 6 flight taster. All the beers were very good. Worth our trek over the river and through the woods!

Best overall option in Government Camp. Good craft beer list with something for everyone. Check out the Ice Axe IPA, their flagship beer. It's more of a classic British-style IPA than a west coast piney super hopped IPA. The Hogsback oatmeal stout was also very good and in the classic style. I thought the standout was the MULTORPORTER. It was a smoked porter but light on the smoke. You still get chocolate notes and only 5.7% ABV. The food options are the typical brewpub burgers and pizza sort of thing. Check out the smoked curds with the meats and cheese board. It pairs well with all their beers. Note that the portion sizes of dishes are large. Especially the Oregon Berry Cobbler dessert, which could serve 3 or 4 people for sure.

We stayed in Best Western and it happened to be right next door to the My.hood brewing. We walked thru the snow and was happy to find it was cozy and warm inside. Since they just changed their menu, we decided to try the fish sandwich and steelhead chowder bowl. Both were good, I wish the sandwich has more fish, and there's more chowder in the bread bowl. Overall the food was tasty and the server was very friendly. If we visit Mt. Hood, we wouldn't mind dine here again!

Great food and beer however every time I have been here I've noticed they are too persistent in pushing you out the door. I've been here many times and sat in the bar area and noticed they are very quick to remove your plates and push the bill on you. It's not even closing time and they act like they are trying to get you out the door. Some of the staff sit at the bar and will watch you eat, wtf!

First of all people on here bitchin about COUNTY service restrictions have no right to penalize a business for enforcement of County mandated rules. Staff was awesome greeted immediately only had to wait 10 minutes until another party left, server was awesome and food was good. Menu is limited but we enjoyed the food and drinks.

We stopped in after a day of snowshoeing and were super hungry. We had a little but if a wait with the COVID precautions not allowing full capacity. I ordered the Mac and cheese (minus the bacon) and it was absolutely delicious! I went with 3 others and they all had great meals as well. The only bummer was service wasn't the best. Our waitress was nice, but never really came around to check on us. She brought our food and it wasn't until I was done eating that another gentleman came around to refill our waters, then our waitress came by, but we were ready to get boxes and get on our way by then. Great food, I would definitely give it another try, but hope service would be better!

We had the Mac and cheese skillet and it was delicious! The root beer was also very tasty.We will definitely eat here again. Great service and great food.

Consistently solid meal at Govy Camp. We're always up here and this place frequently gets my husband's vote for meals. **Don't tell anyone in the village but he thinks Mt Hood Brewing has better mac & cheese than Skyway!! GASP!** Their halibut fish & chips is also a winner, burgers are delicious, smoked trout salad is really lovely if you want something light with a good helping of Omega 3s, and the wedge salad is enough for two, easily. Service is always attentive. Never an empty glass or an empty plate left cluttering your table. Lots of smiles. THEY BREW THEIR OWN non-alcoholic root beer and it's AMAZING! It's tough for me to share a glass of that dark, sweet goodness so be sure to clarify with your dining guests that they need to get their own. Seriously. Bonuses: Dog friendly seating outside and they sell their logoized pounder glasses for only $4 each! We bought four. See you soon!
