Vanguard Brewing Company

Small brewery taproom in an industrial park on the north side of town. Small straight bar to the left of the entrance seats about 8 with a handful of tables about the room and a patio out front. A dozen beers on tap. Friendly, knowledgeable bartender.

Recommended by a co-worker. This is in a general modern, spread out business complex area, not far from Interstate 5. Small taproom with good little sun umbrellaed, patio out front. If you like Chinook helicopters and beer, you'll like this place, for sure. Taproom is basic modern and the tap list is limited but probably fresher, because of it. The beers are basically adequate.

Interesting atmosphere. Terrific Beers, with the Good Day IPA leading the way. I must stop in again.

Nice relaxed tap house next door to the brewery. Its in a light industrial area, but seems pleasant on the outside and comfortable in the inside. Lots of seating, including a sofa! Also has a TV which had The Timbers on. The beers are all acceptably brewed but nothing fantastic, but they are just starting out so that will improve. Service was very nice, lady behind the bar was terrific. They have free popcorn and they were cooking up some brats..the only food available. Nice relaxing place, locals seem friendly too.
