Grand Opening
Friday, May 2
210 NW 11th Avenue, Portland

Deschutes opens a full brewery and restaurant this Friday in Portland. Located in a beautiful old building in the Pearl, the brewpub has almost a lodge-like feel with its massive reclaimed timber beams and intricate wood carving by Oregon artist J. Chester Armstrong.

The daring and diverse menu includes ingredients from a few of Edible Portland's favorite producers, including goat cheese from Juniper Grove and greens from Siri Farms. The brewpub also features house-baked breads and pretzels and house-cured prosciutto.

I might stop by tomorrow night for the NW mushroom pizza or house-made veggie burger, but I'm staying for the beer. I tasted their fresh-from-the-tap Black Butte Porter the other day, and it was heavenly.
