“If you haven't had Blind Satyr beer, you don't know what you're missing! Don't expect floofy apricot infused kombucha brews. The beer here is pure, unadulterated goodness that pairs well with a good ribeye and doesn't leave you with a sugar hangover. looking forward to trying more of their amazing brews!“
“Great variety of beers made at this brewery. You can sit at the bar or find a table and try samples of the beers to make sure you get the ones you want.They have sours, IPAs, stouts, a Scotch ale and many more rotating. Dog friendly and free popcorn in this air conditioned place too!“
“A nice cozy spot. Food is always consistent, as is the service. All McMenamins have a unique vibe and this location is one of my favorites. Whether cozying up by the fire in the winter or sitting outside in the summer, anytime is a great time to stop in for a burger and a drink. Love the vegan Mystic Burger and the house made mystic sauce. I used to love the cajun tots but for some reason all locations have just become so stingy with the spices I just order them regular now because there isn't much of a difference but I still enjoy them.“
“My beer knowledge has ebbed and flowed during my time in Oregon. There were years when I went to festivals, curated loops of brewery tours for visiting friends and generally cared way too much about beer. Then there's the point I'm at now, where a new brewery has to legitimately bring something new to the table to get me to break routine or present value that makes it unique in the marketplace.If your pints are $8 to $9 in the taproom, but your four packs of 16-ounce cans go for roughly that at WinCo, I'm not impressed.Settling into a less fanatic approach to beer here has given me more appreciation for breweries like Vertigo and folks like Mike. During the peak of the Oregon beer boom--when banks were throwing stupid money at any business plan that involved beer and legacy brands that sold to disinterested owners just waited for their turn to die--Mike plugged along at Vertigo and kept improving his recipes and offerings.When Hillsboro said "Hey, want to pay way more overhead for a spot downtown that can't fit your tanks?" Mike passed and had food trucks come into his business park. When the Hillsboro Hops said "Hey, want to pay an exorbitant rights fee to have the ballpark ale at the park?" he once again passed and let BridgePort bankrupt itself as a minor league team's official partner. It took about four breweries (also from outside of Hillsboro) to replace it.Mike persists for the reason Orenco Tap House persists and Culmination Brewing persists... he knows full well what it's like to maintain a brewery on your own and keep the place afloat. The brewhouse and DIY tasting room? That used to be a lot more commonplace before brewers started taking out jumbo loans and pouring venture capital into fast-growth, multiple-footprint operations. The growlers and kick-the-keg specials? Yeah, that's how you build something called loyalty instead of playing a turnover game that'll force a rebrand every three years.A menu of beers like blondes, porter, pale ale (that still boosts the baseball team), traditional IPAs and the venerable Razz Wheat aren't "entry level" offerings, but staples for regulars who've been around the horn of hazies, sours, pastry stouts and other exploding-can trends before seeking their forever home. There's a reason why this taproom is a blend of area old-timers and Intel youngbloods... and why Vertigo's offerings have only become more accessible on taps throughout Washington County.A brewery doesn't need to conquer the world to succeed, nor does it need to chase trends to be beloved: It just needs to care about the product it makes, care enough about the people buying it to keep them comfortable and make the occasional concession to the times.Mike started canning because the pandemic called for cans... and buyers grew to like them. Names of beers changed to sound less like seasonals and more like year-round staples. But the core of the business never wavered, and Vertigo's clientele is grateful.Much like many legacy businesses here in the area (Helvetia and Oak Knoll wineries, the Pharmacy, Hale's, etc.), I get the sense that Vertigo's here for as long as Mike wants it to be. Considering how few of his contemporaries had that option (or stuck around to find out), Hillsboro is extraordinarily fortunate to house a brewery of Vertigo's quality and pedigree that remains so vital to its surrounding community.“
“It was super nice and I loved the place. It's kinda a hidden but not. The server was sweet and very attentive. The food was amazing. Everyone loved their burgers and or chicken n tots. Best chicken and tots plate I've ever had. The raspberry lemonade was super good sweet and refreshing. I can't wait to come back especially for date night. I'm so glad we have this place in Portland with great prices, plenty of food, great service and great place to be in. Had a great time.“
“I have been wanting to check out this brewery for quite awhile and it did not disappoint. It's in a refurbished garage in a residential area. It is a really cool fun welcoming space and the owners could not be nicer. They have a really small brew system but their beers tastes so clean. They only had the porter ( and a hard seltzer that my gluten Free sister loved as well) on today but it was one of the best English style porters I have had in year. This honestly was one of the best experiences, I have had at a brewery for a long time and it was nice to take some cans home. Looking forward to coming back and trying some more brews.“
“Our server Michael in the Hillsboro oregon location was so awesome he was on fire had our drinks n appetizer ready in minutes he was kind made us smile he knew about the menu n drinks had a great recommendation for us with food n drink it was insane how great everything was food drink but our serve Michael was insane how well we were taken care of we will be back with ourselves n family n friends our new favorite place had a 2 wonderful prime rib dinners with soup salad n dessert n xtra sides at such a great price n great food but again our server Michael was amazing super awesome“
“Went before the major mid week dinner rush. The atmosphere is always cool. Food definitely has taken a back seat as prices climb, the El Diablo chicken sandwich was underwhelming, swimming in mayonnaise, the chicken wasn't enough for the whole bun, so it basically was a veggie and Mayo sandwich since the chicken was gone in the 1st half. The current pulled pork sandwich was supposed to have peppers, crispy onions and BBQ sauce. Never found the crisp onions, it was very heavy on the mustard aspect vs BBQ sauce and the "secret sauce" was a mayo on every layer possible on the sandwich. At least the beer was good.“
“Always a wonderful experience! We came here for my daughter's 21st birthday, because I wanted to get her some quality drinks, and McMenamins makes some of the best in the area.Food was fabulous, servers were friendly and helpful. Always love McMenaminsDietary restrictions: The kitchen is very flexible and willing to customize most any orderKid-friendliness: The location is bright and open and sunny with outdoor seating, perfect for familiesWheelchair accessibility: There are virtually no stairs on the entire campus“
“I'm always hesitant to try a new pizza place because I'm really picky about my pizza but I'm glad I did because the pizza here is SO good!I got a cheese and a pepperoni and whatever cheese blend they're using is just absolutely fantastic. Normally I order light sauce but I forgot this time and thankfully they use the perfect amount of sauce and the flavor was great.I ordered through Uber eats and didn't have an option on there to add extra cheese, so I called to ask about adding it right before placing my order. They were so friendly and were happy to add it, and told me they don't even charge for extra cheese!Will definitely order from Steeplejack again!“
