Every town has its watering hole — but not every town has The Hoppy Brewer. Tucked right into the heart of Gresham, our taproom is more than just a place to grab a pint. It’s a community hub, a beer-lover’s paradise, and the kind of spot where you always run into someone you know (or someone you’d like to).
We rotate 28+ taps of craft beer and cider, host live music almost every weekend, and keep the good vibes flowing with friendly staff and the kind of welcoming energy that feels like home — but with way better beer.
If you’ve been wondering why we keep popping up in “Best Of†lists around town, let’s pour you the full story.

More Than Just Beer — It’s a Vibe
We’re not trying to brag (okay, maybe a little), but walking into The Hoppy Brewer feels different. It’s warm, lively, and a little quirky — the way a real taproom should be.
Here’s what makes us Gresham’s favorite beer hangout:
- Rotating tap list: You’ll always find something new to try, from hop-heavy West Coast IPAs to crisp kölsches, tart ciders, and smooth stouts.Â
- Indoor and outdoor seating: Cozy inside, spacious outside, and perfectly designed for Oregon’s shifting weather patterns.Â
- Pet-friendly patio: Because dogs deserve cold drinks and good company too.Â
- No pretense, just great beer: Whether you’re a certified cicerone or just want “something cold and hoppy,†we’ve got you covered.Â
And it’s not just about what’s in the glass. It’s about the people. Regulars, newcomers, weekend warriors — everyone’s welcome here, and it shows.

A Tap List That’s Always Fresh
Ever walked into a place and thought, “Meh, same stuff again� Yeah, not here.
We take our tap curation seriously — without taking ourselves too seriously. Our team is constantly bringing in new styles from local Oregon breweries, regional powerhouses, and the occasional out-of-state gem.
You’ll often find:
- Seasonal sours and fruit-forward alesÂ
- Limited-release collabsÂ
- Barrel-aged beautiesÂ
- Sessionable lagers and patio-friendly pilsnersÂ
- Oregon ciders in every flavor under the sunÂ
And because we love a good surprise, don’t be shocked if your favorite style returns with a new twist the next time you visit.
Want to scope it out before you arrive? Our Live Tap List is updated regularly, so you’ll always know what’s flowing.
And yes — we also fill crowlers, growlers, and pint-to-go containers if you’re headed to the coast or your couch.

Events That Bring People Together
Our taproom isn’t just a spot to drink — it’s a space to connect. We host events all month long, and June is especially packed with the kind of nights that start with “one drink†and end with you singing along to the last set of the night.
Here’s a sample of what you’ll find:
- Live music every weekend with bands like Bluesnik Trio, Woodlander, and Fast Eddie.Â
- Tap takeovers and brewery showcases featuring breweries like Dogfish Head and Double Mountain.Â
- Beer and cider release nights with one-night-only pours and brewer meet-and-greets.Â
Check our Events Page to keep up with the calendar — or just follow the sound of guitar strings and laughter coming from our beer garden.

We’re Proud to Be Gresham’s Taproom
There’s a reason folks from across East Portland, Troutdale, Fairview, and Happy Valley keep coming back to The Hoppy Brewer — and it’s not just the beer.
We’re rooted in the Gresham community, and we take pride in being a local gathering place. You’ll find our staff at city events, our brews at neighborhood BBQs, and our name on the list of “Where to go when family’s in town.â€
We’re big enough to keep things exciting but small enough to remember your name. And your favorite order. And your dog’s name too.
