A popular little brew pub. The beer is decent, and they have a variety of styles. The food menu is limited to paninis, which are not really that great. We met with friends for a trivia night, and it was a lot of fun, and well hosted and run. I’d try it again to give them another shot.

Disappointing that our local brewpub is so sterile and uninspired. Saturday night vibe was nonexistent. TVs on mute, classic rock barely audible, bright retail lights, and an unhappy bartender. Not a surprise it was pretty dead :( The food was sub-par, even for Gresham bar food. Two stars because the four beers we tried were all solid.

Very small nano brewery with a decent selection of beers and a devoted staff. The location could use some charm but it's clean and can hold a ton of people for that big event you want to hold. Small batch brewing means they can experiment and develop new brews. It's the best brewery in central Gresham. Yep.

You know, I've thought about coming here many times over the year or two It's been located here. I will say I really wish they would expand their menu to do a little bit more because it really is a great spot that I could imagine coming to the very simple menu. We did a couple of small bites and a couple flights in though I won't say it was my top brewery or the favorite place I've been to this year I will say I am glad to see something thriving in the shopping center and I'm glad to support it
The beer is great, the double IPA is spot on and amazingly drinkable for as big as it is. The imperial stout is equally as good and the simple food is great. Support local and support this brewer, 'brewer' is in the name because he actually makes it all and it's impressive!
I came here based on a friends recommendation. The root beer was REALLY good. The food was meh. The pretzels were pretty hard and small. Tried the pickled beets and egg, I liked it. Im sure the drinks are nice but I am pregnant so I can’t try that. We were going to eat here but after the appetizers we decided elsewhere. Staff was extremely friendly!

I was with some friends heading back in to PDX from a hike in the Gorge and this place popped up when searching breweries. Not really far from where we live, but just in the opposite direction from where we normally look.I was pleasantly surprised! We cruised thru a few flights and managed to sip most of what was on tap that day. While I wasn't a huge fan of the IPA options, I was really happy to see some formerly common, but currently harder to find styles. Brown, red, stout, porter, etc. Really nice mix of options, and all really solid. I really liked the pumpkin cream ale, which sounded like a terrible idea, but was oddly tasty. (Great prices for flights and beers, too)The flights come in fun (is it a milk jug) shaped glasses, and the snacks we tried were decent. Nice to get off the beaten path to a place that's easy to get to and has great parking. We'll likely head this direction again.

I will definitely say MadCow is a company that brews high quality beer. They’ve got a very large selection for a small company, which extends far beyond 900 different types of IPAs, so rest assure you’ll find something fitting your taste. Rebecca took very good care of me and the other patrons, while also cooking any food orders that came up. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area with a thirst.

Stopped in on a dreary Saturday afternoon after finding ourselves in the area looking for a brew pub. It's in a strip mall, but inside is welcoming. It's not a large space but has a number of tables plus a bar area. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Hubby had the Evening Milking Stout and I had a flight: Rooster Rock Red, Gateway Fog Hazy, Evening Milking Stout and the Old Rusty Barn Strong Scotch Ale. All were delicious. We split a turkey & Provalone panini. We will go back when in the area.
