Bar Guide 2014: Sasquatch

By Matthew Korfhage

Sasquatch

6440 SW Capitol Highway, 402-1999, sasquatchbrewery.com. 3-11 pm Monday-Thursday, noon-midnight Friday-Saturday, noon-9 pm Sunday.

The taproom, down the street from the original McMenamins location, is a multiroom sprawl so popular as a Hillsdale dining option that the place actually takes reservations. It's also family-oriented enough that they end up running out of high chairs for tots on Friday nights. But don't worry: it functions very well as a bar. The beer list is hops-heavy, especially the sweet-bitter jackhammer of the Moby Dick Double IPA. But the best beers might be the smoother quaffs: a deep malty Bertha Brown Ale, a mildly hopped Hairy Knuckles Stout, a Vanilla Bourbon Cream Ale. Take note also of the house cider list; Sasquatch rotates three to six taps of the stuff, and brings in guest cideries for tastings. MATTHEW KORFHAGE.

Happy hour: 3-5 pm and 9 pm-close daily. Food specials, $3.50 beer of the day, $4 wine.
