Description

Specialties

Visit us to try our lineup of beers including Coffee & Cream, Ripe IPA, and Merry Dankster DIPA! Grand Beer Release Party March 5!

Great Notion Brewing is a 7 BBL brewery and tap room in Portland Oregon at 2204 NE Alberta #101 (next to Pine State). January 2016 we will be soft launching new food menu items with our Grand Beer Release Party in early March. Great Notion Brewing strives to focus on juicy IPA’s and creative sour ales though you’ll also find a variety of beers on fresh fruit and stouts with coffee & chocolate.

Our barrel program will be an off site location where our American sour ales age for 9 – 24 months in oak barrels and clay amphoras. A portion of our sour ales will be blended with Summer Oregon fruit like peaches, apricots, strawberries, and cherries. Freshly emptied Bourbon barrels will age our imperial stout on ingredients like roasted coffee, vanilla beans, choc

It’s ok but I really liked the Mash Ton better. The beers are good but, not many to chose from for a «brew pub». The menu is small and not many choices that I liked. The sandwich was ok but my fries were over done and super hard. Also no wait staff and slow service. Had to go up to the bar to order my food and drinks.

Pleasantly surprised with this place. Not a lot of beers, but the ones I had were pretty darn drinkable. Generally impressed with the hopped beers, but really liked the Zest Berliner Weisse.
The push from 3 to 4 stars came from the food. I didn’t eat, but sat and drooled at the plates my 3 friends received. I’ll go back just to eat. Lots of veggie/​vegan options, too.
Nothing too fancy, the tables are park benches, but overall a decent place to grab a drink and a bite.

Wow! Great Notion is off to a fantastic start! Awesome beer and delicious food! We especially enjoyed the fresh cut waffle fries as well as the crunchy vegetarian tacos. It’s great to see a new, successful brewery on Alberta Street!

My friends and I went there to test the beer after hearing about their opening. Wow… their beers (only three now) were all amazingly good! The service was great and we loved the environment. Can’t wait to taste more new beers.

Probably my new favorite brewery. The bartender was so great and helpful. The beer was delicious. Just take a quick peak and see for yourself.

Amazing IPA I’m not used to seeing in the Pacific Northwest and from what I’m told, an amazing array of brews to come. Can’t wait to try the sours. Plus, fresh cut waffle fries!

Liked it better when it was the Mash Tun (much cheaper), but the current menu (assuming they haven’t drastically changed it) and beer list are simply outstanding. Looking forward to weekly visits this year!

New menu and tap list, cocktails and chalkboard table tops! The veggie burger (with fried plantain and jicama slaw) was one of the best I have found in Portland. House salad dressing is delicious and the kid menu has lots of options other than nutritionless crap with cheese. The charming light fixtures and great patio are still in place and the service I recieved was tops.
Great Notion is a solid upgrade.

This place is in the old Mash Tun spot. They have their signs up and it seems like a new menu. Beer started brewing and will be ready in January I think. They will have an official opening in 2016.
Cozy space and awesome patio. Dart board has lots of space.
I’m looking forward to trying their own brew soon!
