If you think Portland’s all craft-brewery’d out, just pay a visit to Assembly Brewing. Portland’s umpteen-millionth brewpub opened its doors in March, and it’s already doing a roaring trade amid a perceived downturn in the fortunes of Portland beer-makers. As long-established breweries like BridgePort and Burnside Brewing disappear virtually overnight, it seems as though there’s still plenty of room for a neighborhood gathering spot where the beer is fresh and the vibe is come-as-you-are.
