There's nothing quite like enjoying a cold craft beverage while taking in breathtaking natural beauty. It's a proven fact (or unproven depending upon your source) that beverages just taste better with a great view. Well you're in luck, because Mt. Hood Territory is a haven for beer and cider enthusiasts, offering countless breweries with stunning views. Here are three must-visit spots for your next Oregon brewery trip.
Home to Estacada, Stone Circle Cider boasts more than just exceptional cider. Their tasting room and farm provide a picturesque view of the orchard and a pond, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a refreshing glass.
Stone Circle Cider creates ciders in the traditional Southwest English style, focusing on simplicity and drinkability, a well as creating a diverse array of beautiful and complex flavors. Located on their family farm you'll be able to see how each step of the cider making process, from growing specialty cider apples to aging cider throughout the season, is handcrafted to perfection.
After indulging in their ciders, explore the nearby hiking trails at Milo McIver State Park or a whitewater adventure on the Clackamas River.
For a truly incredible view, head to the Mt. Hood Brewing Company. The original location opened in 1991 and sits in Government Camp, which offers stunning views of the iconic Mt. Hood. This makes it a must-visit for any beer lover and outdoor enthusiast.
Their beers are brewed using pure, clean glacial water from Mt. Hood, which distinguishes them from other ales. They also feature a food menu that reflects the vibrant mountain lifestyle. Bonus: Their outdoor patio seating area is dog friendly, and they even have a dog treat menu!
After enjoying their expertly crafted brews, embark on any number of Mt. Hood outdoor activities! Try a hike to explore the nearby trails, go on a guided tour or try your hand at snowboarding, skiing or snowshoeing in the winter.
Located in the Willamette Valley, Mollala River Brewing Company provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enjoy a cold beer on their outdoor patio or play a round of mini golf while listening to live music. They feature 30+ beers on tap, three food trucks and a rotating menu of ice cream flavors, complete with sundae bar toppings.
After your visit, head to the Molalla River Recreation Corridor for an outdoor adventure or visit one of the many local farms to meet a new furry friend!
