Brewpub in production brewery a few block south of the river. Tastingroom has short bar against south wall that seats 8 with some hightops about the room and a small outdoor patio to the right of the bar. 16 beers on tap. Tuna wrap was nice.

Another go to brewery we would always stop at after a day of hiking the Columbia Gorge waterfall trails. If you attempt to do Mt. Defiance, this would be a great place to remedy the pain afterwards. Always good beer and employee owned.

We stopped here on a Saturday morning in early June 2018 on our trip to the great NW and to Mt. Hood.
Hood River appeared to be an eclectic community. The view from the brewery of the Columbia River, even on this overcast day, was worth our stop.
It was lunch time and the service was quite good and my burger was excellent.
Enjoyable stop at a one to the top Craft Breweries in the USA.

I am a consumer of Full Sail and know no Trader Joes employee personally or by affiliation whatsoever w the exception of shopping at Trader Joes.
This is a great tasting Amber... and has a great drinkability.
It is difficult to make a truly great Amber, such as Anchor Steam.
You can drink like 4-6 and not have any undesireable digestive talk-back from this beer after wards.
Theres a reason why Trader Joes picked up this Amber to distribute in their stores.
Its an amazing beer from Oregon, USA.

July 2016 visit. 17 taps (or more)
very helpful service. I did not try the food.
Beers to go as singles, 6 packs and 12 packs.
Some bomber bottle rarities too.
Lovely site overlooking the gorge.

cool to see one of the old school northwest breweries in the flesh. they occupy a huge block of prime real estate right in hood river, overlooking the river, and everything appears clean and new from the outside, considering how long they have been around. spacious facility, definitely the big boys in town here. the tap room is bustling, and the patio is absolutely packed. not surprising since the views there are gorgeous. i was surprised by how many beers they had on tap, looks like quite a few brewery exclusives. what surprised me more than anything though was the quality of the beer. i though with the whole session line and everything that these guys were more focused on volume than true craft quality, but i shut up about that pretty quickly. the oatmeal pale ale was simply amazing, full bodied and really fresh and flavorful, distinct, and nearly flawless. the other beers we had here were excellent as well. they were super busy but the bartender still took some time to be personal with us, and the other guests were all super friendly and chatty. this exceeded my (perhaps too low) expectations, the beer was great and the vibe was cool. looking forward to another visit and hopefully a tour this time.

Great place to sit and hang for a little or long while. Limited selection of beer unless you love FS, then you are in heaven. Food is consistently good, but nothing unique. Great place to stop and watch the water from though. Beers are always high quality for a larger scale craft brewery and the staff is always friendly and on it.

Full Sail has the feeling of a big, corporate brewery/brewpub but during the summer the outdoor seating with views of the Columbia make up for it. The food is decent for a brewpub. I might be a little bit generous with a 4/5 on that one, but it's not bad. Their standard beers are decent and they occasionally have some interesting limited editions on hand. There's usually something on nitro.

People will underrate their beer because it's nationally distributed. People will underrate their space because it's decidedly not pretentious. But I'll be damned if I can think of a better way to spend a warm afternoon (after a morning hiking or kayaking) than by sitting on the deck at Full Sail, beer in hand, soaking the ridiculous view of the Columbia River. Such an awesome place.

Outstanding views of the Columbia River and really tasty grub. Excellent beer selection with rotating special brews unavailable elsewhere.
