PDX: New Deschutes Brewery in the Pearl, via Autumn
June 4th, 2008My friend Autumn tried out the new Deschutes Brewery in the Pearl and wrote about it on her blog. I find it funny.
not totally thrilled my reuben was going to cost me $11.95 i was downright flummoxed to see that the kids menu listed grilled salmon as one of its offerings. grilled salmon? seriously? if it cannot be formed into a patty or tot, my child is not interested
I have to admit that I’m not optimistic about the place. I get dragged to the one in Bend more often than seems logical and my mouth always leaves bored and overcharged.

I was a surprisingly enthusiastic fan of broiled filet of flounder as a young’un, but yeah, that’s an odd choice.

This is awesome. Folks must bookmark this. The next time some Pearl District resident ponders why their area of town has a stigma, point out the grilled salmon kid’s menu. Seriously… wow.

I describe the decor at the new Deshutes Brewery as “Woodsy wins the lottery”. I have many other opinions about the place but one is consistent with all other local breweries - fining people, fining. Beer should not look like used bath water, all murky and opaque. There’s already a winery called Duck Pond, don’t make beer that way too.

I think Deschutes did a great job of making a casual brewpub. The food is edible, if not overpriced, and the beer is sublime. You could certainly do much worse (Rouge? Bridgeport?). That said, salmon surprise on a kid’s menu? That’s just fucked up.
