Great Selection of Beer

Portland is definitely a great spot for drinking beer. Novare has over 20 beers on tap and more than 250 total selections—you might just get lost in the menu! Although it is all about the beer, wine and cider do play a supporting role. The food menu leans toward German-inspired offerings, with a selection of meat and cheese plates and some sandwiches. The outdoor patio has a lovely atmosphere, full of picnic-style seating. If the mood suits, you could even pick up a game of cornhole.
