"Backwoods Brewing Company is crossing the border from Washington to open a new location in Portland's Pearl District, taking over the space formerly occupied by Pearl Tavern. The new venue will feature a family-friendly environment with all-ages hours for lunch and dinner. While specific details on the food menu are not fully disclosed, it is expected to include items like pizzas, grilled sandwiches, and a children's menu, focusing on local and high-quality ingredients. The beer offerings will consist of straightforward but excellent pilsners, IPAs, and pale ales." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
