Backwoods Brewing Company

"Backwoods Brewing in the Pearl gets creative with beers like its black currant sour and pecan pie porter, and that ethos extends to the food menu. Nachos feature smoked salmon or pulled pork, and the latter can be upgraded to totchos for just $1 extra. The potatoes come with all the usuals, including shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños, plus a drizzle of barbecue sauce made with the brewery’s Copperline Amber ale. Backwoods is open for takeout, delivery, and dining in." - Krista Garcia

"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

"The local camp for a Washington-based, family-friendly brewery and restaurant opened on July 9." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
