If summer in Gresham has a flavor, we’d say it’s somewhere between a citrusy Kölsch and a frozen sour slushie. When the mercury rises, The Hoppy Brewer has the cure for the heat — and it comes in a pint glass. Or, in some cases, a frosty, spinning slushie machine.
Looking for a “taproom near me†with serious summer energy? Whether you’re coming from Gresham, Troutdale, Happy Valley, or the far side of your air-conditioned living room, we’ve got the best outdoor seating, dog-friendly policies, and most refreshing tap lineup in town.
Let’s dive into what’s pouring.
What’s On Tap This Week?
Our Live Tap List is always updating, but in July, we lean into the crisp, the light, and the fruity. It’s no coincidence that the styles flying off our draft lines are also the most patio-perfect.
Some seasonal brews you can expect to find on tap this week:
- Citrus Pale Ales – Bright, hoppy, and juicy with a zesty finish
- Fruited Wheat Beers – Think blueberry, mango, or blood orange in a smooth, creamy profile
- Kolsch & Pilsners – For when you want cold and clean with zero fuss
- Hard Ciders – Not just for gluten-free drinkers anymore—these are crisp, complex, and 100% summer-ready
- Rotating Sours – Tart, bright, and sometimes a little wild (just like our live music nights)
Want a sneak peek at what’s pouring? Our full Beers We Carry and Ciders We Carry lists are online and constantly growing.

Need a Reason to Swing By?
If you’re still not convinced (or just need an excuse for a weekday visit), we’ve got a few ideas:
- Post-hike hydration after Powell Butte or Mt. Hood
- Lunch hour reward — bring your coworkers, we won’t tell the boss
- Midweek music check – our event calendar always has something brewing
- Refill the growler for your next BBQ or camping trip
Bonus: Our staff is always happy to offer beer or cider pairing tips, whether you’re chilling at the taproom or taking it home.
