I have visited this Brewpub several times over the past few years, not necessarily as a destination, but just being in the area. The beer has been consistently good and the service has been just as consistently poor and unknowledgable. One occasion I asked our waitperson if the wheat beer was American or Bavarian style. She said she didn't know, in fact, in the two years that she had worked there no one had ever asked that question. Very recently I stopped in for one beer and had to run. As the wait person was walking by I began to ask her if my $5.00 bill would cover and she very sternly told me "I'll be right with you sir" as she blew by. Go for the beer, be prepared to be patient with the service.

Interesting place has a very unique feel and not that ot was good it was just odd. The service was very much like they could care less and there did not know the beer they where serving. I was sure glad I was able to try some of the better brews as I ordered a taster tray and some snacks. The beers where very tasty and I loved the dark stuff it was the best. The hopped up IPA was ok but just did I not do it for me. The food was pretty god as it was regular pub fair. If in the area and need to check it off the list then stop if not then keep on trucking for other places with more atmosphere and better service.

Nope, it could be someone's eccentric aunt but ten miles north of Portland (and its plethora of brewpubs), Vancouver can boast several great pubs brewing their own special brand of deliciousness and Hazel Dell is one.
The "child" of Phil & Teresa Stein, it's been open for more than a decade and built a loyal following, including a one-time appearance by beer-lover extraordinaire, Michael Jackson.
With 13 brews on tap, there's plenty of taste-appeal for discriminating "buds"; not one but 3 different IPA's with several dry-hopped varieties and nitro-ed beers as well. The place has doubled in size in the last few years giving it a "living room" feel complete with stone fireplace.
Wife Persimmon & I particularly enjoyed the Captain Vancouver Irish Stout, the Black Cannon Porter and the seasonal Oktoberfest with its outdoor, woodsy aroma and full-bodied, malty finish. Perfect for an Autumn evening in front of that stone fireplace! The Steinbock too was note-worthy; nutty and tart and at 7.9% ABV, enough beer for the most adventuresome taster. The menu features all the usual pub fare, burgers - sandwiches - salads and such with added sausage specials.
No view here - its located on a main street although set back so no sound interference. Parking too is limited so come early, stay late & listen to Teresa's story when Michael came, saw and conquered.
