Breakside Brewery - Slabtown
Breakside was named Large Brewery of the Year at the 2026 Oregon Beer Awards, the state's biggest beer competition. It is one of the most consistently decorated breweries in Oregon, working across barrel-aged stouts, flavored beers, and West Coast IPA from its Slabtown flagship and other locations.
Wayfinder Beer · Central Eastside
Wayfinder Beer took Medium Brewery of the Year at the 2026 Oregon Beer Awards, a first for the Central Eastside brewery. The win capped a strong showing in a year when hundreds of beers were judged statewide, and the taproom remains a lager-forward anchor of the inner east side.
Great Notion Brewing - Alberta
Great Notion built its name on hazy IPAs like Juice Jr., a citrus-forward, easy-drinking beer Willamette Week points to as a house standard. Since opening on Alberta Street the brewery has expanded regionally, but the original taproom stays a busy neighborhood anchor, often paired with the built-in Matt's BBQ Tacos cart.
