Great spot for a beer after a long bike ride or if you are just in the neighborhood. Some great food trucks near by too. The beer is good and the people are good. What more do you need?

Had my third visit last night, 5/21/21. Thanks to my friend remembering the name of the stout I love, Tierra Del Stout, my evening was a hit. Gigantic Brewery has the happiest vibe!

Located in the industrial area of Portland. Lots of free street parking. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Love their barrel aged beers and IPAs. Staff are friendly.

Cute place with tasty beer. I rode my bike there on the way to do the Springwater Corridor, so not to far out of the way. They dont serve food, but next door is a Hawaiian and Mexican food trucks. Definitely pairs well with the beer.

Cute taproom with a lot of patio seating and solid beers. Mecha Red is great! $2.5 per taster, up to 6 tasters in a flight.

Super chill and fun bartenders, really good beer, and excellent music selection. This would be a great place to come to an event in their large barrel room (for a soccer match viewing, movie, or a large game night).

I am from out of town, I was recommended to come here because of their relationship with local artists. That is definitely a reason to come here, but also their beer is amazing! Every beer I had was fantastic, and if you dont know what you want, ask and they will not fail to deliver!

Aw man total bummer. The staff were super rude to us. The pretension was palpable. The bartender did not make us feel welcome and told us “we weren’t following the law” when we took our mask down to taste the beer. The law is to wear a mask when you aren’t actively eating or drinking. Argh. Then signs say dogs welcome but same bartender told us “oh no, not back there.” Argh. Beer was meh. Not worth it. Sorry, we did try to like this place. Sadly we were the only ones there. Apparently I’m the pretentious one. Argh.

4 out of 5 because I think the cost should definitely be lower of items. A flight was per glass as opposed to per the flight itself... But the employees were VERY friendly and helpful. They answered all of our questions and were having fun with each other while working. Never heard of this location before and wish I would have.

Great staff with friendly demeanor and pet friendly patio in the industrial area next to Union Pacific Railroad and the Bybee golf course. Tasty brews on tap and a delicious food cart...try the Hawaiian pulled pork and rice w/ mac. Yum!

Great beer and friendly service. Covered outdoor seating available, dog friendly, Beer Barrel storage with a garage door seating and bar area seating. So lots options. They also make one of my all time favorite beers, Most Most Premium Russian Imperial Stout! There is a food cart out front or you can bring inn your own food.

Amazing Brewery! Staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable time, Beer was amazing (4 or better on untapped), food vendor was killing it and I cant wait to go back in April.Returned today and had a few samples, amazing beer as usual.

Review №19

Amazing beers! Many over 7% alcohol. You choose from 12ozs or 20oz imperial pints. Outdoor patio is fit with many communal picnic tables. There’s also an indoor outdoor area, around back. They have glass garage doors that open up for the summer. Dog friendly here too.

Review №22

The beer is good. You probably already know this.Its really for real-reals open, with outdoor seating, which is awesome during the great worldwide pandemic of nineteen aught twenty-twenty that youve read about on the history app on your school provided smartphone in the year 2045.The tap list is strong, the beer names are delightful (Sassy Pony, anyone?) and there were cases and cases of various 22oz beers (some in limited-edition form) in front of the register area so you can continue the party in the privacy of your own domicile. They also do growlers.In peak Portland form, they have a red reusable bag for sale that nets you a sweet, sweet ten percent discount each time you use it to bag up four or more of their to-go 22s.The only demerit is the lack of patio heaters, which to be fair, would not encourage social distancing.Youve been putting it off so get to it and go visit Gigantic. Youll enjoy it 👍

Great brews, fun local environment. You can tell most people who go here live in the general area. Very charming and friendly. No frills in the decor department but who cares when the beer is this good. Cheers!

Review №26

As off the beaten path as it gets, nestled amongst recycling plants and other industrial buildings, Gigantic is nonetheless a quintessential Portland brewery. Known for their outrageous labels on their bottles, this neighborhood-friendly spot has a spacious patio for patrons and their pups and never a shortage of delicious beers (and champagne!) On tap. This one is a must on your brewery tour here in Portland.

Good IPA. Edit: recently theyve worked hard to speed up the line, which was typically long and slow. Its consistently fast now. Also, theres a new barrel room with lots of seating.

Large selection of different types of beers. Def check out the Lustrous and the Oki Lager. Not a lot of inside seating so you will want to like sitting outside which most Portlanders do anyways.

Review №31

They’re very prepared for our current pandemic status quo. Masks were available for those who forgot them (required until you sit down and when away from your table). Hand sanitizer available everywhere. Very clear instructions when you arrive. AND you can order from your table using a phone. Lots of seating (indoor and outdoor) and dog friendly patio. Super friendly staff and great beer. Lots of bike parking available as well.

Beer is always on point. One of the best breweries in Portland. Seating and capacity is a bit challenging right now because of the pandemic. When arriving we where put on a waitlist for a table. Total wait time was only about 10 minutes.

Most Most Premium Stout! 12.3% ABV of cocoa-vanilla, montmorency cherry notes on the nose, with rose hips on the finish.The patio is welcoming, the atmosphere is semi industrial and the prices are great.

Chill environment to grab a beer and relax. Dog friendly, a decent cider and a variety of beer available. The beers are very good, there was only one cider to try and that was ok, not very flavor full. The front room is small and can get crowded but there is more seating outside and in the back room. Very cool to walk in and see the barrels in the back! #localspot #drinkoutside

I’ve lived in Milwaukie for a year now and had no idea how close this taproom was to me. The area that it was in an industrial place, but the space itself was very inviting. I came on a cold day, but look forward to coming back on a warmer day, because they have a nice patio. Great beer, great atmosphere, and even better staff!

Used to love it. For some reason today, the guy was difficult and we expressed that we want to sit outside-he made it super difficult. So we left,eve n though we repeated that we could wait til the table gets cleaned. Well, somebody had a bad day. Ruined my evening but whatever, not the last place on earth to have beer tonight.

Lots of (strong) beers on tap, plus indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff and friendly crowd. You can do a custom 4-beer taster for $7. I wish I had liked more of the beers, but this is a good spot. Try the pipe wrench.

Review №52

Great beer, and as the name suggests the place is huge. Or at least hugely popular with Timbers fans. There is a small bar and limited (truly) indoor seating, but lots of covered outdoor seating. Be. Careful what you wear, Local or otherwise Oregon sport team attire is good. Leave your California or New York, or wherever jerseys at home. When in Portland don’t dis local sport teams! Seriously, at least not here. Parking is no prob. Us dogs dig this little slice of heaven.

Best local place for a beer, high quality, incredible taste! CAN BRING OUR DOG!!!! Love coming here!, Not sure if the staff are the owners, if not they take as much pride as an owner! So pleasant, feels like family here! If youre ever looking for a fun way to relax for a little while, just take a minute and remember why you love living in a city so much-this place will remind you sip by sip, minute minute!

Easily one of the top tier microbreweries in Portland. Do yourself a favor if you havent stopped by the tap room for a fresh draft beer. Enjoy one of their in-house comic books while you drink!

Review №58

Had a wonderful time. It has a great patio that gets late day sun. Also has large indoor area if raining. All beer is $5, just the size may differ based on strength and availability. All the beers are great, and they have something for everyone. Personal favorite is the kolschtastic, perfect beer for the patio.

I found my favorite beer out in Carver at a taproom. I went back the next week to enjoy that amazing beer but they were out. The keg was dry and they replaced it with something else. They closed their doors shortly after. Im not saying there is a direct connection but you can read what you want. I spent months searching for that amazing nector until one day I came across it. Gigantic Brewing. It was tucked away only a mile and a half from my place all along. Their Gigantic IPA is what dreams are made of and their Ginormous is where I die happy. Oh, and they have 808 food cart in front. Get Hawaiian food and an amazing beer!

Review №63

Visited Gigantic during Zwickelmania and had a wonderful time talking with the brewers here. One even pulled the blow-off tube and put it in my face to show me the brute force of the yeast converting sugars to alcohol and CO2! Great selection of beer at reasonable prices with very cool labels. The location cant be beat in terms of easy street parking (its an industrial area).

Review №64

Only without your familythe food truck + delicious beer on one piece of property is a bang up idea. except they didn’t bother to get the right kind of liquor license i guess. i’m not allowed to sit with my children and hold a beer in my hand at the same time.too bad. so many other family friendly breweries in portland.

Review №66

Gigantic is fantastic. While in town for a conference at Reed College, I spent a few hours at Gigantic quietly working away on my laptop, sipping incredible IPAs brewed just a couple dozen feet away. They pride themselves on cultivating a very chill, inviting vibe, and theyve pretty much nailed it. Will definitely hit up Gigantic in future visits to Portland.

Spent some time here when we visited Portland, OR on our honeymoon last year. Excellent beer (naturally) and great people who made us feel right at home from the minute we set foot inside. They talked to us and gave us local recommendations. Special mention to Kawehiwehi who was running the bar that evening. Shes a rock n roll star and a spirited soul. Much love to everyone in Gigantic.

Was excited to try their beer, but sadly I went on a rainy day only to be engulfed upon walking in the door by the odor of wet dog (quite literally). This was a bit much for my sensitive nose, so I left. Perhaps when the weather gets a bit nicer and they open up the patio or install a better ventilation system Ill be back. Until then I say, enjoy the beer dog lovers!

Review №83

Gigantic is always worth the drive, especially on Timbers game days. The staff is always helpful, and their beers are skillfully made. Usually there is also a taco truck open across the street that you can bring food from as well. The Massive barleywine is a winner if it is available, but it is a limited release so get it while you can. The common releases are always stellar as well, and you can be sure they have some awesome art on the walls.

Do not come here for food, as there is none. Do not come here for Bud Light as the entire place will probably laugh you out. Do not ask them to put on the Blazers game. They do not have a TV, only a machine that plays Timbers matches. So, obviously, this is one of the best breweries in PDX. Come here for the BEER, the glorious beer!

Review №90

Well I recently saw this brewery at my liquor store so with my vacation thought I would check them out. Place looks tiny up front but they have a warehouse back area. Most of the beers I did have though... Did not like. So I went with a heavy hitter and luckily I liked that. Super, super nice bartender.Cloud (nitro) juicy pale ale 5.2- First ever non stout/Porter on nitro. Thick white foam head as expected from a nitro, smooth tasting, almost butter with a bit of juiciness on the end. Though the smell and other tastes are not good...An odd piney smell but overall not a true pleasant flavor.Most most premium bourbon barrel aged Russian imperial stout 12.3-  Most most black, most most delicious. Dangerous, rich, dark chocolate and without the bitterness. Glorious beer. Get a caramel/coffee finishing note. Too good.

Review №94

Cool little place at one end of a warehouse (the brewery) in an industrial area that isnt too out of the way. A lot of regulars and great service - what are the odds? IPAs are amazing - flavourful and complex, not just painfully hoppy. Toasty Pale Ale was a disappointment, hence the 4 stars. Their Baltic porter was surprisingly good! Not a lot of porters like that around here...
