I’m going to be in Vancouver, WA this Friday on a motorcycle trip. I’m familiar with Portland offerings, but not Vancouver. We’re looking for a spot with good food AND good beer. Any suggestions?
Not in Vancouver, but down the road (Hood River, OR) is Double Mountain, one of my favorites
I agree. They are one of my favorites also. We will be on the Washington side of the river though - it is a much better motorcycle road. There are also several good breweries on the Washington bank: Walking Man, Backwoods, etc.
There are several good ones near downtown: Looit is near Esther Short park. Trusty brewing is a couple of blocks away, as is Mt. Tabor. Trap Door is several blocks up Main St from downtown. Railside is a bit north in Hazel Dell (Hazel Dell Ave. and 74th) less than a mile from my house. I haven’t had any of their food offerings, but the beer is good.
If you put your trip off a week you’d be here for the Vancouver Beerfest.
This might be helpful if you find yourself east of Vancouver (Camas, Washougal, etc.)
I can vouch for at least Amnesia. Doomsday and Mill Werks were still young the last time I visited (~2 years) and a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully have matured since then.
