This place is easy to find, access, and exit. It is fully handicapped accessible. There's lots of seating options here; inside or outside in front or the back patio.Nice selection of good beers and excellent pricing. There's plenty of bar food options as well.Quick, responsive service with a smile can be expected here. Regular live music makes this spacious industrial design a great choice for a night out.The only things I found lacking was comfortable seats for a long stay and only one toilet each for the restrooms.If you found this review to be helpful please consider adding a thumbs-up. 👍 You can always check out my 100s of other reviews.

Great beer, wonderful food, and a super friendly staff made this one of my favorite accidental discoveries.I pulled into the plaza, intending to go to another restaurant for a quick meal before a meeting. When I saw there was a local brewery with food, I quickly changed my plans.The pastrami panini was toasted to perfection, and the Drunken Tots were full of cheesey goodness!I highly recommend you stop in if your in the area!

We had my husband’s 40th birthday party there on a recent Friday night and it was the perfect place for it! Stacey helped me choose the food and how much we needed, she had everything setup before I got there. I just threw up a couple decorations. Shane, the server was on top of our party of 40+ people and never missed a beat. The beer is delicious, as well as the food! The service is top notch and the brewery itself is very inviting. We will be back!

Amazing beers and classic bar food. They have burgers now including the brunch burger that they call the hangover egg and bacon on a burger amazing!!! If I could give them 10 stars I certainly would. I cant wait to come back and have it again.

Their beer is really good... I'm not a big stout person but their peanut butter nitro stout is one of the best l've ever had! Their food not so much. The mozz sticks were a big mess and chewy despite looking overdone. My husband got chicken tenders and the batter was falling off of some and they were quite greasy. Also, our food kind of took awhile to come out despite the fact it didn’t seem that busy. I’ll go back but for the beer only

I enjoyed the wheat beer and a pretzel. The pretzel almost looked over cooked but it was perfect, hard on the outside and soft delicious inside! Yum. They also had seltzer options.The outdoor space spacious and shaded areas. Beautiful grounds and I saw a groundhog!

Robust, sales, pilsner, larger, IPA and new to me, hard water, similar to hard selzer, no fizzy. Peanut butter and mango was yummy. Basic bar menu and wine also available. Good service and friendly staff. Limited outside seating.

Tucked in the back corner of the GNG shopping center is this quaint little Brewery name Birchwood Brewing. What an awesome find I think I found my new favorite place.The owners are very friendly locals. He is a veteran who I believe is also the brewmaster.I had a flight of beers in the flight I believe there were six beers and two waters for cleansing. Hands down the best beer there was the red beer. It didn't seem like any red beer I've ever had before because it lacked the bitter taste that comes with it.They only serve fresh baked pretzels but the owner encouraged us to order takeout and eat it there. That actually worked out really well we order the pizza from Jess and Nick's and ate it while we watch the band.I never went to the previous establishment but I'm told this is nothing like it used to be. The interior has nice tables and many of them had cribbage boards in cards to play. The walls have some milled metal art of wildlife.As if that wasn't enough I believe this place to be pet friendly we saw a couple pets on leashes while enjoyed our dinner.This is a good little spot I didn't get too crowded we never had to wait for drinks and the drinks were amazing.

The atmosphere, the owners, the music, and the location were all five stars! The beer was four stars, but I'm rounding up because of how great this place is! Thanks for coming to Gray!

This is a nice little spot. Menu is small but that's ok! It took a while to get food even though it wasn't very busy and the tots came out soggy. Quesadilla was delightful! We'll definitely try again in the future. The inside was really cool and very well done. Everything was clean as well.

4.5 StarsFood was AMAZING for pub foodI personally got a panini and added pastrami. The tots were very underwhelming.The selection of beers were really good. I had their red ale and loved it.I also really enjoyed their mint mojito flavored hard seltzer.Bathrooms were fine.Staff was attentive and friendly.

Excellent atmosphere and good beer. Very nice amenity for this area. Staff was very friendly, the place wasn't overly crowded, and the other patrons were a nicer crowd than I'd expect for the area. The food unfortunately was a huge disappointment. The wraps are lackluster at best and the special "drunken tots" (some sort of tater tot and cheese amalgamation) that were recommended to us by staff were bordering on inedible. It's fairly clear why this is too, I'm fairly certain that the kitchen isn't effectively much more than a toaster oven. Despite my grievances with the food it's certainly a place I'll go back to for a drink and that I'd recommend visiting if you're not particularly hungry. I'll also admit that perhaps we just got unlucky with what we chose to order, and if I go back and try some of the paninis and things that other people have said good things about in other reviews I will update my review and rating to reflect that.

NO DOGS! This is the ONLY brewery in the greater portland area that does not allow furry friends. Not even on the public walkway in front. Staff made us feel rushed and kind of in the way (before being asked to leave). Beer was decent, but nothing special. Soft pretzels were tasty.

Nice open spot. They have snacks on premise, and if you want something more to eat, there is local restaurant nearby.

Best beer and pizza experience around! The wings were really good, the IPA and Stout beers were on point. Best of all the pizza was out of this world!!!!

Great beer, great warm atmosphere, but the best part of the whole place is the service. Family run and you can tell. I can’t say enough good things about the staff. Beautiful people. #27 and #22 for life.

Great tasting room with friendly staff and a nice neighborhood, relaxed feel. Beer could use some work however. All the beers were absolute diacetyl bombs and tased like mediocre home brew. That’s fine except they are charging premium prices that match the top breweries in Portland. Hopefully the beers quality improves because this place has a lot of potential.

Good atmosphere and nice set up inside with the space to grow, always nice for a new brewery. My wife and I bought a flight each of the Red, Brown, IPA and pale and both enjoyed them. Favorite was the red for both of us. Brown came next with the Pale and IPA being equal. Will be back to try more brews in the future!

I wish we had a place like this near where we live. Beer is good, food is good, staff is friendly, and the place is nice and cozy. We sat on the patio in the back that had plenty of tables and even some Cornhole.

Except for the din I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Had the steak and cheese pannini. Don't go on a Friday night if you don't want like loudness.

Been here many times and always extremely nice staff and, of course, awesome beer. The brown is the best I've ever had. Pic is Andrew bartender/brewer/owner.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere and tasty beer! Only downside is that it is not pet friendly on the patio which was a total bummer.
