Hair of the Dog Brewing Company on Postcard

"Barrel-aged Beer in Portland Hair of the Dog was the most fun (and perhaps the most risky) stop on our Portland bicycle brewery tour. The beers are delicious, unique, and each named after the brewers—which makes it especially fun to get a flight and compare them. I liked "Fred," a sugared-up Belgian, and my next favorite was "Adam," a chocolaty stout. They have a high alcohol content, so take that into consideration when ordering."

I really enjoyed the beers at this brewery. They are definitely not following fads so you won't find a bunch of hazy IPAs or fruited sours (though their IPAs are still very good). The beers here are unusual and all very flavorful, I was especially impressed with the Adam beer and the smoked marzen. Atmosphere was casual and relaxed and the food was decent, but for sure the real star here is the unique beer.

Great find on our latest trip to Portland. Enjoyed the bar area which is a deep wood countertop in an elongated U shape. They also have good space for large groups. We prefer the dark beers and we're excited about some of the unique offerings. Hands down favorites are the Fred Flanders and the Maja barleywine- Vanilla maple bourbon collab with Omnipollo, Sweden. Other bests were Kizuna Stout, between (smoked marzen) as it was truly unique. Also tried Bills Bitter, the English bitter which tasted more like an IPA or hefeweizen. Great times too, look forward to returning. Each beer I tried I thought was the best, until I tried the next.

Had been longing to visit Hair of the Dog and was finally able to do so (2019). Solid beers that nobody else is brewing and everything I love in big malty beers. We sat and enjoyed a handful of vintage beers and looking forward to returning.

Tried this place once and not coming back. The two stars are for the beer, very unique. The food we tried was not what we expected at all. Meat plate was awful (looked & tasted like those coming out of a plastic package), mac & cheese dry and lacking of flavor. Only the brisket and the fish sandwich were okay-ish. Not the most attentive service. Portland has many great places to enjoy beer and food but, in my experience, this is not one of them.

Good, strong beer and though I didn't have an actual meal, judging by the desserts, the food is large-portioned and delicious. Good service, and had high chairs. Beeramisu was good; would order again. Be advised: check the ABV first, and order small if you can't stay long. These beers don't mess around!

Great food, beer and service. Chuck Norris duck wings is just too much as the real one. Boneless ribs melted in my mouth, just amazing. Bread pudding is a must have desert.

Arrived when opeaning. We had any seat in the house and service was good. Beer was good and brisket was awesome. Very juicy and tender. Building is like a old warehouse with a large sliding garage door. If it's a cool day dress warm.

This place is our Cheers, the bar stools have our butt prints and our favorite bartender Wendy knows our names. The beers are always amazing and if you get tired of the regular offerings there's always something fun "on the stone" or "on the wood". The food is hardy and delicious. Some of our favs are the Italian sandwich and the rotating deviled eggs. The weekly specials are often special trip worthy. Especially the ham and brie with apple sandwich. You'll wanna slap your mama.
