Summer is back in Portland with the return of our Vacationland summer ale!

This annual favorite is back on tap and pairs great with items on our upcoming summer menu, including all seafood and lighter fare such as salads & nachos.

This 4.8% golden ale starts off malt forward, but finishes with a lovely "kiss of hops" on the palate, and is great for sipping in the sun on our outdoor patio!
