Side A Brewing in Island City, Oregon, is the sort of place where a pint feels like a small triumph. Their rotating beer roster is a masterclass in bravado: West Coast IPAs that slap the palate awake, barrelâaged stouts that linger like a wellâtold story, and a few experimental brews that make you wonder if the brewmasters have a secret pact with chaos (they do, and it works).
The taproom itself has been given a tasteful makeover â think polished wood, friendly lighting, and enough room to swing a ladle without knocking over a coaster. Knowledgeable staff float between the taps, offering expertly curated taster flights that march you through the breweryâs imagination with the precision of a conductor.
When hunger strikes, the rotating lineâup of local food trucks rolls in, turning a simple beer session into an everâchanging culinary sideâquest. The service is consistently spotâon, and the vibe encourages a goodânatured camaraderie that makes even the most pretentious beer snob feel at home. In short, Side A Brewing delivers a unique, locallyâcrafted experience that rewards curiosity and celebrates the art of good drinking.
Reviewers praised Side A Brewing's exceptional local beer, welcoming atmosphere, and great service, particularly when food trucks are present. The brewery offers an exciting experience with remodeled spaces and unique events like trivia night.
