Vanguard Brewing Company

If you take the first afternoon WES down and walk briskly, you can spend just under an hour in these salubrious confines while still being able to get back on the last northbound train. Nachos come fully equipped and the Hella Hefe in particular impressed with its freshness and character.

Great first experience at Vanguard. Tasted a lager and red and ordered an IPA and sour aged in oak barrels … all were excellent. Enjoyed the pizza as well. Nice space and chatted with one of the brewers. Definitely will be coming back.

Super disappointed, wanted to try out this spot for a while. kitchens closes early and owner seemed antsy. said we’d get wings, took 30 minutes just to come back and say we can’t have wings? what the silly gubby. pizza was mid.

I like trying places for food, so don’t have any recommendations for alcohol. However, we tried the nachos and pretzel. Both were quite delicious. My boyfriend got a “Spicy Pup” which is a Blackberry Habanero with a Schatzie Pilsner. He said it was tasty! The environment (especially outdoors) is quite relaxed. The staff was great, and incredibly friendly. The seating could use some comfort, but otherwise good. Overall, this was a place that we will try again (probably on Taco Tuesday!)

Comfy beer pub. Limited bar food. Very good beer selection. Bartender was super Don't live in Wilsonville but have stopped a few times
