Updated Oct. 16, 2020 1 min read Pearl District

Filled with chic boutiques, galleries and dining destinations, the upscale Pearl District and charming Nob Hill (aka Northwest Portland) are just a quick streetcar hop from downtown Portland. Home of the historic Brewery Blocks, where Henry Weinhard launched Portland’s brewing legacy in the 1860s, the area also claims stalwarts like McMenamins and a diverse mix of regional and local breweries, making it a favorite site for a Beervana pilgrimage.

Deschutes Brewery & Public House

Based in Bend, in Central Oregon, this brewery is famous for its chocolatey Black Butte Porter, hoppy Mirror Pond Pale Ale and bold Inversion IPA. Expect all three on tap here, along with an ever-changing list of experimental, made-in-Portland brews like Smoked Oyster Stout and Birdshot ISA. Healthy portions of locally inspired (and sourced) dishes like elk burgers, Dungeness crab rolls and mac and cheese prepared with the brewery’s creamy stout also makes Deschutes a popular dining destination.
