When I visited: June 2022 with my wife.
What I had: flight of Export Ale (golden ale), American Pale Ale, Old Thumper ESB, and Blue Fin Stout (Irish dry stout), pint of Monkey Fist West Coast IPA for my wife.
What I liked: Fresh looking, approachable tap room, beer quality is better than this brewery is given credit for, draft lineup covers a wide range of styles, like the fact that they offer different serving sizes (10oz, 16oz, flights, etc.) and crowlers/growlers to go.
What I disliked: Shipyard is not Cantillon but the beer is well-made and the varied draft list means there's something for everyone here (unless you hate beer).
Would I go back? Yes.
Overall impression: Stellar traditional brewery that's well worth a visit.

The taproom in Portland looks like a restaurant with a large bar. Close to the harbour it´s a trendy location. Good selection; i didn´t try the food. Worth to visit!
