Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
Portland has sooo many breweries, it's hard to pick sometimes. We love having Double Mountain in our neighborhood - it's a great all-around place. The beer is top-notch, the food (especially the pizza) is better than you'd expect, and the space is great for a casual meal. We recommend a table by the big sliding windows on a nice day.
