Oregon is a paradise for beer lovers. Overall, it ranks within the top three in the nation for number of craft breweries per capita and Portland on its own has more than 40 microbreweries within it’s city limits, which is more than any other city in the world. Portland may be proudly weird, and many people may roll their eyes at its eccentricities, but they sure know how to drink well. If you consider yourself a beer lover on any level, even though Portland may not be to your overall taste, you sure as heck want to taste its beer.

Oregon’s Brewing history dates back to 1852, when Henry Saxer opened the Liberty Brewery in Portland. Since then, it has expanded to include more than 140 craft micro and nanobreweries throughout the state, with some big names such as Widmer Brothers, Deschutes Brewery, Full Sail Brewing Company, Bridgeport Brewing, Rogue Ales, and Ninkasi Brewing. And those are just the major players on the Oregon beer scene. You still have smaller brewpubs and breweries like Hair of the Dog and the Pelican Pub & Brewery that put out big and delicious beers on a smaller scale. And then there’s the Oregon Brewers Festival, which is one of the top beer festivals around.

And so, as a beer lover, I’ve put together another map to help you beercationers. Just like my previous maps of Belgium and the top 250 beers in the world, this map gets down in to the nitty gritty to give you all the information you’ll need for a great beercation. There are directions, beer lists, brewery links, review site links, and everything else you’d need to plan a great beercation. As always, remember to check a brewery’s website before trying to arrange a tour,as their hours may change, some may require appointments, or some (actually a really rare few from what I’ve found) may not even offer tours.

Drink up!
