Last month I was in Portland for Workin’ The Tease’s
#StripForPP Fundraiser for Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette. And while there I was able to grab a quick
lunch with family at BridgePort Brewing Company’s brew pub.
With a warm modern design in the heart of the Pearl district of Portland, Bridgeport Brewing Company is Oregon’s oldest in
operation craft brewery. With classic
brews such as Black Strap Stout, Summer Squeeze, Ebenezer Ale, and Pintail Ale
the company has evolved from microbrewery to regional leader in the specialty
brewing market.
BridgePort Brewing Company’s commitment to high
quality craft products also transfers to their character driven food that
served at their Marshall Street location.
With a menu claiming, “We make food the same way we make beer. It’s well-crafted, it’s full of character,
and it rewards people for having good taste,” I was excited to experience food
and beer perfectly complimenting each other.
After ordering from the absolute doll of our server, I
dove into their Vegan Bowl ($12) consisting of superfoods such as Organic
Quinoa, Black Beans, Grilled OTA Tofu (a Portland based Tofu company), Kale,
Sweet Potato, Edamame, Red Peppers, and Green Onions topped with Season Carrot
Salad and Spicy Cashew Sauce. The dish was
Tres Yummm!!! Pacific Northwest healthy
while being hearty enough to compliment the beer I was imbibing. 
Oh and about that brew, while there I sampled their classic
Old Knucklehead a barley wine style ale that is aged with oak. The ruby-colored brew kicks off with malty
sweetness, finishing off with notes of vanilla, toffee, and cherry. The result was the perfect Brew for people
who don’t like beer (Read: Me), a big taste experience.
So if you’re in the Pearl Street area of Portland and
are looking for a great place for both brew and bites, check out the delightful
BridgePort Brewing Company!
Here’s to ruby colored beers for people who don’t like
beer and life being delicious!!!
