My husband & I celebrated our Valentines day here & we were very pleased with the beer selection, I was excited to try my first beer flight & it did not disappoint, I will definitely be back for another. The atmosphere was likeable, relaxing & the music was good however the music from the kitchen was competing for our attention! The service didnt fall short, the ladies were very friendly. The food however, I wish we could say was good. We ordered the chili chz fries & deep fried mac & chz, both items were served cold & really lacked flavor. My husband was really disappointed burgers were not an option, I have to admit some sliders would have been delish! He didnt even touch his mac & chz because of how overcooked it was. Im really hoping it was just an off day or not the regular cook? Maybe just a work in progress? We will return in the future to enjoy some more brew & hopefully the menu will improve. Thanx for reading about our experience! ♡ Angie Cushing

The burnt end brisket sandwich is the one thing giving this review an extra star. The sandwich was great, while the rest of the food (garlic parm fries and fried macaroni) was mediocre. The real reason we came in though, because its a brewery, is the beer. We found it on Groupon and got the two tasting flights and growler. We tried 8 different beers and had the same problem with every single one. They all tasted watered down! We only had two of the in-house beers and the rest were from other breweries, but it was a consistent problem. There were some with good flavor, but barely recognizable under so much water. Stouts, sours, pale ales, porters, kolsch. We tried them all and couldnt come up with one that we thoroughly enjoyed.

I had quite the opposite experience here. We ordered the pretzels and beer cheese dip for an appetizer. They came cold, slightly warm on ends but cold in the middle as if they were microwaved for 30 seconds and thrown on a plate. They were oversalted, beer cheese sauce was luke warm. Okay, just maybe one bad dish, negative. Ordered the special Thai beef salad. The beef was cold, the salad was completely drenched and dripping with the vinaigrette making each bite hard to swallow. The only saving grace was the kombucha, unfortunately it was brewed elsewhere. Great atmosphere, but this was unfortunately overshadowed by their horrendous food. Probably the worst $30 Ive ever spent.

Great variety of drinks, but the food depends on the cook.... the first time we went there, the bbq wings were very good. We went back last week and my husband and I each ordered our own wings vs sharing since the were so good the first time. I also ordered a dipped corn dog. The corn dog was a limp soggy sadness that tasted like burnt ass. The wings were an even bigger disappointment. They were tasteless and werent even fully coated in bbq sauce. They were on a plate with a glob of bbq sauce poured over them. Not at all worth 12 dollars per order at all.

We stopped in for lunch on a whim and were so glad we did! The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food served hot and delicious. We had barbecue sandwiches that were very generous and tasty. Everything you want in a bar grill with the added bonus of a truly beautiful dining area. The owners did all the woodwork and metalwork and its stunning. Each table features a thick slab of natural wood, with real edges and lacquered to a beautiful shine. The wall behind the bar is beautifully done with wood and metal craft. Go to eat, enjoy the beauty!

I thought the building and patio were a great atmosphere. I personally didnt care for the Ridgewalker beers they had when I was there but they have about 15 guest taps with some great choices. I had a bacon blue cheese burger and it was amazing. Not a large portion but high quality ingredients. The only thing I didnt like was inside had a very strong sea food smell. We sat outside so that minimized the problem but I think they should consider mitigating that some how.

This is probably the best beer selection in all of Forest Grove. About 40 different beers, cedars, and wines on tap. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful for finding you a beer you will enjoy. The food is very good too. Havent had many different things on the menu, but they stuff I have had has been delicious. it is a different take on your standard bar food. The atmosphere is really cool too. Big, huge chunks of trees that are really cool.

Modern Alpine look and feel, sleek and minimalist (other than the sports TVs), polished wooden tables, big screen tap list behind the bar. 25+ taps with a good 8+ being their own, of which I tried two and found them well-made and pleasant. Id love to see a more interesting selection, old world styles, hoppy Belgian golden ales, clean German lagers, etc., especially given that they seem to make Anglo-American stuff competently.

Wonderful atmoshphere and the foods/drinks were great. The owner did a great job decorating and designing the inside giving it a very warm and cozy feeling. The flavor of the burnt ends brisket sandwhich were amazing, cajun fries were well seasoned and not too salty.. While this place a decent drive from my home in Beaverton, I think its worth the trip out there again in the near future. :)

Food and Brew there last week, everything was very good. Their house brews are solid, and they have other local brands on their large tap list as well. Staff were very helpful and friendly. All furniture is made from live edge planks from various types of trees, with a massive single slab DougFir table down the middle, with matching benches on each side. Very cool.

Staff great, selection great (wine, beer, kombucha and sometimes coffee on tap). Great technology, like super Nintendo primed with Mario All-stars, an arcade machine, and a menu that automatically updates prices for happy hour as well as quantities of the brews on tap.

This brewpub reminded me of a viking Mead Hall, one cozy space with high ceilings and a large collection of good beer. I had the Ridgewalker stout which was one of the better local stouts I have had and a bbq Chicken sandwich that had a powerful smokey taste.

Horrible!!!! The pork sandwich is on a cheap hamburger buns, I was wondering if I was at a daycare rather than a swanky taphouse cause of the little (2 - 3 year old) kid screaming behind me. I will not be back and I dont recommend this place.

The beer rocks! The food was very good! The service could have been nicer but they were very busy. The server apologized for the wait and gave us a couple beers on the house so we were happy. I recommend the place 100%.

Great menu, gluten free options well labeled. The sweet potato fries and garlic parmesan fries werent soggy, but were tender crisp. Fantastic. Their nachos are now my wifes favorite. On tap? Lots of great brews.

I love their decor, the tables and seats are lovely. They have a really great beer selection with choices you cant get at other breweries. The food was pretty good. I really liked the sweet potato fries.

Wow, I love this place. Lots of beer and ciders on tap. Digital menu with lots of information including brewery, ABV, IBU and beer type. Great prices on a sampler. Try the Fried Oreo Sundae.
