"After 16 years, the original location will close and brewing operations will cease toward the end of the year; the brewery at 240 N Broadway is set to shut “in a couple of months,” per a September 30 Instagram post, while the taproom and food cart pod on NE Prescott Street will undergo a minor rebrand with taps pouring beer from other breweries." - Dianne de Guzman
"A pioneer in Oregon farmhouse-style ales, Upright brews French- and Belgian-style beers with a hint of Northwest influence. Located in the Leftbank Building, this taproom is the sort of hidden hole-in-the-wall that attracts locals and beer nerds. Limited releases often rely on cool, somewhat uncommon brewing techniques, from a barrel-aged gose darkened with squid ink, to a fresh-hopped nectarine saison that spent some time in oak. Both the main taproom and the newer taproom at 72nd and Prescott are open daily." - Ron Scott
"Another destination for fans of Brett and farmhouse beers, emblematic of the city's artisanal-sour/farmhouse brewing niche." - Dianne de Guzman
"A hidden gem for anyone looking to snag a low-key pregame pint, this unassuming tasting room is an oasis of tranquility amid a web of complicated intersections and stadium parking lots. Whiz past the self-congratulatory corporate wall art chronicling the building’s history as a historic jazz bar and there’s an appealing multi-level taproom to be found here, with a classy design language that accentuates the building’s reclaimed wood and naked brick. The tunes come courtesy of a blocky Bang & Olufsuon Beogram RX 2, a Danish brand known for audacious industrial design and high-quality sound, which feels in line with the rest of the space. The taproom lacks a designated food menu, but there’s a full calendar of hot pop-ups that cycle in, like Demarco’s and Javelina." - Ben Coleman
"Upright is offering half-price beers for all Portland public school teachers during the strike." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
