This one is a little out for a walk, 20 min, but only a 7 min bike ride. This place has a large open hall that celebrates beer and what goes with beer? A lot of things but they chose beautiful delicious pizza. They have mastered current trends in IPAs, sours, saisons, and more.

Gigantic Brewing; 5224 SE 26th Ave:
This place is a classic example of Portland’s funkiness and craft beer coming together. It is in an industrial area, has a great food cart, and hires local artists to design their labels. Also funky beer yeast makes for a different twist on your usual ales and lagers. This is one of the breweries that put Stumptown on the beer map.

If you are heading up to Ex Novo this is another great spot. The original master brewer of Deschutes started this one, yes the guy that created Black Butte Porter. He’s still creating & shaping the craft beer scene. Solid food as well.
