With specialty ales like Spring Rose Doppelbock (made with fresh rose petals) and Brickhouse Brown Ale (a seasonal English style Nut Brown Ale), this Alameda brewhouse is garnering quite a reputation for its finely crafted brews.

All beers are created on-site in their 5.5 BBL brewhouse, and different seasonal beers are generally on tap, pointing up the ever changing nature of the Pacific Northwest. The food menu offers traditional Northwest eats, typical pub fare and seafood. All menu items are made in-house.

PEARL DISTRICT. The ivy-covered brick warehouse that houses BridgePort provides initial indication that this is a cool, upscale brew pub. Inside the voluminous space, patrons gather around large wooden tables, quaffing microbrews and talking about the day. The selection of ales on tap is particularly good, and you can accompany them with the brewery's pizzas, which are made fresh on the premises in a wood-fired oven. BridgePort is a great destination for inexpensive eats after you've done the First Thursday gallery walk around the district, too.

This smoke-free microbrewery is a fun place to go for house-brewed beers and delicious sandwiches. The crowd tends to be the upwardly mobile young professionals ready to slake their seemingly endless thirst with tasty selections like Black Lab Stout, Stumptown Porter and Dog Day India Pale Ale. The pub occupies an old warehouse, sporting exposed wood beams, skylights and wood flooring. An outdoor patio is the ideal setting during warm weather months.

Within this great building, complete with high, raftered ceilings and copper brewing vats, is a fun, boisterous pub that serves up terrific food. Craft-brewed beers are the specialty, and the options are fantastic. Among the samplings you'll find are India pale ale, honey beer, Scottish amber ale, lagers, stouts and porters. They also do a great series of seasonal brews. The food, a step above pub fare, frequently incorporates handcrafted beers into the preparation, making a perfect companion to the house beverages. Inside, the Tap Room is open and spacious, the Fireplace Room rustic and inviting. The outdoor heated patio is desirable year-round.

Built in 1915, this architecturally beautiful structure served generations of students before being closed in 1980. Following a series of renovations, it reopened as a neighborhood entertainment facility. These days, it houses a bed and breakfast, restaurant, several bars and a gift shop. Have a bite to eat in the Courtyard Restaurant, sample your favorite vintage in the Cypress Room, or hang out in either the Honors Bar or the Detention Bar, depending on your attitude and inclination. Given the particular venue, you'll find local beers, single-malt scotches, espressos, and character galore. Hallways are filled with artwork, and the courtyard gains great appeal when the weather's nice.

A winning combination of tasty menu items and finely crafted house ales define this Southwest Portland favorite. With anywhere between 14-18 beers on tap (about half being house brews), Old Market has become one of the standouts on the crowded stage of Portland microbreweries. Order a thick burger, dish of pasta or a pizza, team it with their signature Multnomah Village Golden Ale and enjoy the casual atmosphere of this spot that was once a food market. Expansive wooden tables, pool tables, shuffleboard and an outdoor patio make for an ideal group meeting spot. Smoking is allowed in the billiards room.

Maybe good things really do come in small packages. Located in Westmoreland, this unpretentious brewpub, the smallest in Portland with only three barrels, brings the favorite food of Philly to the Northwest. Authentic cheese steaks accompanied by signature home brewed beer is what keeps the door revolving and the demand for their Ginger Wheat Ale and Ginger Hefeweizen & Blackberry Porter high.

Located beneath the Crystal Ballroom, a mecca for live music lovers, this pub attracts a large contingent of patrons who attend the shows upstairs. Even so, it's a terrific place to meet with friends and nurse a drink or two. The spacious venue boasts a funky decor and serves up microbrews crafted in the on-site Crystal Ballroom Brewery as well as a collection of stiff cocktails. For distraction, there are pool tables and pinball machines, but there should be enough activity and conversation that you don't need anything else to hold your attention. The pub food menu offers all your favorites and adds a nice twist with dishes inspired by global cultures. A great place to meet people.

An intimate gathering spot that's part brew pub, part antique watch repair shop, and part living room/library, this quirky spot has become increasingly well-known for its outstanding house brewed beers. Order the Cask Stout or the Hop Red, and you'll quickly find yourself asking for another. Regularly changing beers and a hearty roster of international beers and wines, along with the book-lined interior, give this place a definite character and a draw that's inescapable.

For a touch of German ambience, head over to this convivial pub, located beneath the Fremont Bridge and adjacent to the well-known Widmer Brewery. The Gasthaus occupies a historic building that once functioned as a hotel. That spirit of hospitality can still be found, thanks to the great staff and fun-loving patrons. Microbrews are a way of life here, whether they're a celebrated hefeweizen or a classic ale. To complement them, order something hearty from the menu, like sauerbraten, schnitzel, or some of the excellent sausages. A big-screen TV shows important sports events, and the no-smoking environment ensures that everyone is comfortable.
