Finally I have been to Terminal Gravity . This brewery has been on my list for some years now. It took a lot of white knuckle driving but I made it to the old sausage factory turned modern day brewery. Enterprise Oregon an old mill town has gone granola. I am sure the locals along with the tourist seeking liquid refreshment they are here quite often. Terminal Gravity the underground brewery with limited distribution has become very much highly sought after in the big cities. I know that Portland and Seattle can not get enough and the limited bottling make the brews very special for all. I for one always want to try something new from TG.

I found the place rustic with the old style refrigerator behind the bar adding to the décor. You can buy hand blown pint glasses. I heard the local artisan make these and then you can either take them with you or have them as your special glass every time you visit the brewery. Do you get more brew - they say they vary and some are bigger but most are the same as a true pint. Great food available and kids are welcome to join you. They have both a small area near the main bar downstairs or you can go upstairs to lounge and enjoy yourself. Be sure to order at the main bar when you arrive. I got there it was slow but as I went to leave it was packed. The service was top notch and they really went out of there way to make you feel welcome. I can not wait to come back in the summer and see the town and the surrounding area. Make it a day of hiking and then a night drinking at Terminal Gravity.

Great craft brewpub in a small house. The IPA is quintessential Northwest in its hop-forwardness and the stout is darn good. If you're there when they have their strong ale on tap, you're in for a treat. They don't have the largest selection of beers on tap, but in my opinion, a brewpub shouldn't.

They usually have amazing homemade soups and other quality food. The upstairs furniture is handmade and you can buy a hand-blown art/pint glass for your home from a local artist.

A tour of the brewery will make any homebrewer jealous. Nothing automated, just real hands on brewing.
