One of Portland's newest breweries. Their IPAs are fantastic, but more East Coast than West coast in profile and flavor, which I like. Their Juice Box Jr. IPA is one of my favorite in town. Amazing back patio as well, which shares a space with a small garden store and a juice truck. Highly recommended!
