Portland, Oregon is regularly rated among America’s top craft beer cities. According to oregoncraftbeer.org, it’s estimated that 53% percent of all draft beer consumed in Oregon is brewed in Oregon. There are currently 58 breweries in Portland and 84 in the Portland metro area.

I recently had a chance to visit Portland, Oregon, and while I did not visit all 84 Portland-area breweries, I did manage to check out 14 stand out breweries.

Culmination Brewing was founded by Tomas and April Sluiter. Located in Northeast Portland at The Bindery Annex Building, the brewery opened in June 2015 in a 7,000 square foot space with a brewery and tasting room.
