    I have recently been browsing the Benelux forum, and it appears that many Belgian breweries are only open on specific days or times throughout the week. Does anybody know of similar odd opening hours for Portland breweries? (for instance, only open on weekends)

    Information regarding tour hours would be nice, but I am asking specifically for tasting rooms.

    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.
