Any Odd Hours for Portland Breweries?

Too many to list...

The majority of the larger breweries have normal hours (Sunday-Thursday tell 9, Friday-Saturday tell 11).

Many of the smaller breweries (& best) do close fairly early even on weekends so its worth looking up ahead of time. Some of the "nano-breweries" Like Nation Brewing do not have tasting rooms but do have some special events from time to time. You might check out this website if you are planning a trip:

Both Upright (Fri-Sun) and The Commons (Thurs-Sat) have abbreviated hours (listings on their BA pages are correct), but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Breakside's new brewery/taproom out in Milwaukie is closed on Sundays - and shorter hours weekdays. I'm not sure you'd be going that far out (but it's worth the drive if you do - 20+ taps & tours on Saturdays)

Also, New Old Lompoc Sidebar (adjacent to their 5th Quadrant location) is only open Wed-Sat afternoons/evenings. But 5Q is open 7 days a week...

 

Don't Oregon breweries have to be closed one day a week? I know Crux decided on Mondays originally and were then kicking themselves about being closed on Labor Day last year.

 

I've never heard of that. If it's actually a law it certainly isn't enforced. Bridgeport, Widmer, Deschutes, Cascade/Rac Lodge, Burnside, and every McPub in town is open 7 days a week.

 

I wonder if it's a Bend law? Who knows, I just remember my dad talking with Larry Sidor about it last year.
