Leikam Brewing — Local services in Portland

This place was highly recommended by a friend in the beer business and we've wanted to check it out forever! Well tonight was the night. Tonight may have also been the completely wrong night.... They had just done a fundraiser for something to do with kids (why at a brewery?...) so there were about 10-15 small children running around the ENTIRE place without any care of anyone else, nor did the parents/chaperones do anything. Jumping on the furniture, trying to climb out the windows, playing under the table we were sitting at, and still nothing was done by the parents or bar workers. Beer was okay... But the fact they keep the place open for that type of fundraiser... Not cool. Breweries should not be playgrounds for small children running wild.

I also heard staff taking loudly in the back "how dare someone bring their child and ruin the vibe". I chugged my beer and we left. I used to love this place before baby. Very sad to have to tell all of my friends with kids not...

Gluten-Reduced and I could’t even tell! Read that on an info sheet just before leaving, in fact. Outstanding service from our great bartender, even when we arrived somewhat close to closing time. Tried some tastes of their beers and settled with their IPA and Golden Ale. IPA tasted good and was 6.5% but felt a bit heavier than that (session IPA available on tap, though). I loved their Golden Ale- bit of wheat and a light hop-bite. Perfect for the summer. Would definitely come back to Leikam Brewing. Also, my wife loved...
