Driving out to Alesong’s brewery is almost like an adventure for those who rarely leave the metro boundaries. It’s a scenic drive filled with trees and twists and turns that you normally encounter when visiting one of Willamette Valley’s stellar wineries.
And when you step inside the Territorial Highway location, the presence of stemware and artistic beers might lead you to double check you didn’t end up at King Estate.
Co-founder and co-owner Doug Coombs says he wants people to walk in and know they’re not at a typical brewery. He wants that atmosphere to encourage people to open their minds about new ways of thinking about beer; it’s the sort of beer you can bring to a nice dinner.
