Solera Brewery
Welcome
Welcome to Solera Brewery, we’re glad you made it up the mountain to visit us!
Crafting delicious beers is our passion. We also believe creating a friendly and enjoyable environment is equally important. If you join us on a clear day, you’ll see the most spectacular view of Mt. Hood towering over our back patio area. If you’re in town for the snow, or if it’s rainy then pull up a barstool and cozy up in the converted theater we call home. We are located about 20 minutes South of Hood River off of Hwy 35 on Baseline Dr. If you’re traveling the fruit loop, we’re right in the middle of the loop at its southern most point. We are family friendly and minors are allowed in the designated areas, until 8pm daily, as long as an adult accompanies them at all times.
our pub
We want to create a true public house experience for our guests. This means all orders are taken at the bar, and if a table is open then it’s yours. We have an awesome food menu ranging from snacks and soup to sandwiches and a HUGE burrito. We have a modest (tiny) kitchen so the wait time for food ranges from immediate to an hour or so depending on how many other guests beat you to the order line. Check out the beer list, though. It’s always changing and one of our bartenders will give you a taste if you’re having trouble deciding between them. You can get a taster tray if you want to try them all! We offer an unbeatable outdoor area with one of the best views in Oregon. The general seating encourages our guests to meet new friends and share their experience. We also allow friendly dogs and conscientious dog owners in our outdoor area. We want all of our guests to enjoy their experience at Solera Brewery so please, come on in, grab a beer and sit back to enjoy the view!
Our Brewery
Solera Brewery specializes in creating unique, one of a kind beers in small batches. Our Hedonist IPA is a local’s favorite, and is the only beer your will find on draft year round. Our taplist changes regularly, so you can find a new favorite every time you visit.
Here’s what you can see in the brewery:
We brew on a 7bbl system. We have two, 7bbl fermenters and two brite tanks. We keep house culture of lactobacillus going for blending or inoculating sour beers. We also have two 3bbl stainless tanks we use to age sour or wild fermented seasonal
beers. From here the beer is kegged and stored until it flows through our taps into your glass.
Here’s what you don’t see:
We have a Solera program next door. The word “Solera” describes the bottom row of barrels in a barrel aging and blending process. This process is traditionally used
for sherry, rum and some balsamic vinegar, but we employ the same process for beer. We have wine and whiskey barrels that have had beer aging in them since we began brainstorming in 2011. All of these beers are bottled and sold in small
batches at our brewery. There is no schedule to bottling as
our beer tells us when it’s ready to be bottled. When they’re ready, they sell out fast so keep checking back to see when your favorite barrel is bottled or join our mailing list on the homepage to be the first to know when bottles are available.
