Threshold Brewing and Blending

Visited 04.18.21

Small industrial space opens into a blocked off street that is essentially now a park. Open tasting room with service bar and a few tables with a few more in the street. A dozen beers on tap. They also sell single cans to go. Small snack menu.

a really cool spot and ambitious operation, new to the scene since i was there last, many years ago now. they have an awesome thing going, an open and airy taproom sprawling out into the sidewalk in a fairly residential neighborhood it looks like, maybe a bigger patio space for coronavirus times, im not sure, but its a great layout for a warm and sunny summer afternoon. the inside space is roomy too, some scattered tables, just a walk up bar for now, a chalkboard menu, and the brewing space visible in behind, looks like decent capacity. a slightly industrial vibe to the space, but they have made it comfortable too. they menu was not huge but plenty diverse, although i had hoped for more of the funky and weird ones. we liked the grisette and the blood orange ipa pretty well, but the beers we had didnt blow us away either. the coffee stout was excellent, the barrel aged stout from the pint can less so, but they seem to have a cool thing going, definitely a neighborhood spot and i would be thrilled to have them in my neighborhood here in idaho! boy would i! the dude was really nice too, generous with some samples and humble but informative. these are the kind of people i love interacting with in this industry. these guys will not be under the radar for long, definitely add them to your portland brewery list when you are in town! we had a wonderful time here.
