Oregonian writes up Deschutes Brewpub

by shooter
Tonight is the official grand opening so stop by and sip some beer!

From The Oregonian:

Yes, you can get a burger at the new Deschutes Brewery & Public House in the Pearl District -- a burger with house-made pickles, a roll fresh from their bakery and, soon enough, beef from cows fed on the brewery's spent grain.

"As a brewpub, we'll exceed people's expectations," said chef Jeff Usinowicz. "We'll definitely be a brewpub, but we'll also be a great restaurant -- the kind of place where, if you don't feel like getting dressed up for Bluehour, you can drop by as you are for some great food and great beer."

The $5 million brewpub opens Friday across from the Gerding Armory, in a historic 1919 building that the Deschutes management saved from being razed for another condo tower.

When you visit, you'll find lobster ravioli on the menu, plus Buffalo wings and hand-cut french fries; sausage and duck prosciutto made in-house, just like the pretzels; blackened ahi tuna or pub-style fish and chips; wild mushroom ragout topped with Juniper Farms goat cheese; or good ol' mac and cheese.
