Must love sours! But if not everyone in your party does, they do serve wine and cider and usually have a non-alcoholic option. Located about 40 min outside of Eugene, this brewery is a great place to spend a couple hours. Buy a charcuterie board or other nibbles or bring your own food! Lots of outdoor space and a bocce ball court. Also a tasting room at 5th Street Public Market but the farmhouse is much more of an experience! Live music on Friday nights.
