WAYFINDER BEER

Welcoming Troutdale's newest taproom

Located off the beautiful Historic highway, Wayfinder Beer’s new second location in downtown Troutdale is a great place to end a day of hiking in the gorge, skiing on Mt Hood, or perusing the shops on the quaint street. They offer great craft beers on tap, paired with delicious food from one of the many food cart options. This is a must-visit for both visitors and locals.

Words from the brewer

"Wayfinder brews many styles with a focus on esoteric lager beer. When making beer we practice a combination of traditional and modern techniques to create an interesting beer. Winged Creatures WCIPA and Party Time Pilsner are our highest producing beers but we have more than 10 new releases annually which often include local ingredients like tea, flowers, and fruits and vegetables. I am interested in expanding contemporary lager and continuing to make delicious beer." -Natalie Baldwin (Wayfinder brewer)

Beer Recommendations

"I am a big fan of rice lager, and Wayfinder has come out with quite a few winners. Phantasies + Infinite Hotel to mention a couple. I'm also a sucker for any beer with a tea addition, and most recently was in love with a beer called " Into the Dream" - an amber lager infused with Thai tea from Smith Tea Maker. I feel especially lucky to be a part of a brewery that's so focused on crafting exceptional lagers"

-Lisa Hackett (Wayfinder manager in Troutdale)
