Soak up the sunshine on Hair of the Dog's patio with great views of downtown Portland. Taste pale ales and pilsners such as the Ruth and Greg, named after their muses. A perfect answer to the day drinking question, as they close unexpectedly early.
Hidden deep in the inner SE industrial district, this fun spot serves strong, beautifully-crafted beers with straightforward names (I'm fond of Fred, myself). Beware the cumulative effect of the beguiling 3-oz tasters...
If you need proof this is on every visiting beer aficionado's list, notice that every table has a row of 3oz mini goblet tasters lined up. Try whatever's "from the wood"!
Excellent beer and food. This is a must visit for cult craft beer lovers. Vintage bottle list is incredible as well!
