Great Notion Brewing - Beaverton (Craft Beer & Brewery in Portland OR)

Great Notion Brewing (Beaverton, Oregon) is the sort of place where a craft beer lover can feel like a kid in a candy store, except the sweets are fermented, hopped and occasionally soaked in bourbon. Their BBA 3 PM, a raspberry‑truffle concoction that spends a night in bourbon barrels, proves that dessert can be a drink and not just an afterthought.

If you crave variety, the Hopin’ 12 Notions subscription ships a dozen exclusive brews every quarter, turning your fridge into a rotating gallery of experimental ales. The line‑up spans from hazy IPAs that scream tropical fruit to sour beers that could double as a palate cleanser after a heavy meal. Even the non‑alcoholic selections get the same meticulous attention, so abstainers aren’t left feeling like they’ve been handed a glass of water at a banquet.

Two taprooms—one in Portland, one in Seattle—offer indoor and outdoor seating bathed in natural light, walls adorned with eye‑catching artwork, and the oddly reassuring provision of complimentary tampons and pads in the bathrooms. Great Notion isn’t just brewing beer; it’s delivering a welcoming, slightly mischievous experience for anyone who values quality over pretension.
