A growing number of
Portland s flagship breweries are settling down in the city s populous western suburbs, a trend that s accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even those that aren t building brick-and-mortar locations have found a booming market for their beer on the shelves of Washington County supermarkets and convenience stores, and via home delivery from DoorDash-style services.Â

Where to Get Food in Portland This Week Hot Plates, coming through! (Mick Hangland- Skill)
2017 NE Alberta St., 971-865-5160, grindwittryz.square.site. Instagram: @grindwittryz. Noon-8 pm Tuesday-Saturday. As a food cart, GrindWitTryz was a near-instant sensation, its crowds and wait times harking back to the early days of Salt & Straw or Apizza Scholls, and the lines have only grown longer since owner Tryzen Patricio moved into the former Bunk space on Alberta. The most popular dish by far is the ono chicken: 12 pieces of crispy, sweet-glazed fried chicken thighs more than a pound of meat piled onto a double-portion bed of furikake-topped rice.
