Upright Brewing operates from a basement location, giving it an intimate, underground charm. The beer list is extensive, with a focus on well-balanced styles and seasonal experimentation. Real ale is a specialty here, offering a traditional touch that is rare in the city. Cider and wine options broaden the appeal for non-beer drinkers. The atmosphere is relaxed, with friendly service and a steady hum of conversation. It is a popular pre-concert stop thanks to its proximity to the Moda Center. Prices are reasonable, making it easy to explore several styles in one visit. Upright remains a hidden favorite in Portland’s beer landscape.
