Just left Portland and stayed at Hotel Jupiter. Absolutely loved the place and the adjac Doug Fir Lounge. A number of good breweries within walking distance and great beer bars a short cab ride away.
Also, be sure to check out this thread. We'll probably have the spring/summer version posted by the time your trip gets closer, but most of this will still be relevant. http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/visiting-portland-winter-2015-update.243817/
A couple events going on in June here to keep an eye on too. June 11-21st: Portland Beer Week: http://pdxbeerweek.com/ June 13th/14th: Portland Fruit Beer Fest: http://www.fruitbeerfest.com/ I'll add these to the Oregon Events page if they're not there yet.
They'll offer an online pre-sale for GA and the VIP session, but you can just walk up and pay at the door if you miss the window on those. The Fruit Beer Fest is organized by @TheNewSchool, so maybe he'll chime in with more info about when tickets will be available.
