De Garde Brewing Tasting Room

Very cool brewery in a small uneventful town near the coast. You can’t actually see the coast here, so not much reason to linger other than the beer at de Garde. The latter is obviously top quality, although they don’t have a ton of their own beer on tap. I believe it was six of theirs, and six guest taps. A bunch of bottles are available to drink here, and a smaller list available for takeout. Friendly service, and nice design. No food, but there were some taste food trucks nearby.

Called in during a slow, winding 250 mile drive up the Oregon coast. A nice smart tap-room in Tillamook, right next door to a Pelican brewpub. Large barrels with seating outside. Inside it's fairly small compared to taprooms from the larger players, perhaps 6-8 tables with stools. Six De Garde beers on tap, with six guests including a Black Damnation and nice wild-fermented Oregon cider. A well-curated bottle selection with some choice Belgians, some UK bottles. Friendly, helpful staff willing to talk through all the beers. I got a couple of samples and bottle to take out ($19 for a 75cl). Nice vibe here, good music selection, and probably the nicest toilets I've ever been to in a brewery. Check opening times though - I got lucky calling by on a Sunday, but they're closed Mon-Wed.

Visited the new facility in town for their 6th Anniversary event. Bright and mdern, lots of windows and rollup doors. Small bar, tables inside and out, patio. Service excellent. Bring your own food. Excellent sours and a few guest taps.

Visited on 8/26. Very friendly service, plenty of outdoor seating available. Everything on the board, including several guest beers, was outstanding. Must stop here when in the Tillamook area!

After a visit to Tillamook Creamery we quickly popped by here. A small and busy taproom. Nevertheless the bartender had time to explain me quite a lot about their beers. I couldn't stay for a drink but bought couple of bottles to go. Next time I definitely make some time to spend few hours here.

What a contrast to Pelican. With a varied and changing tap list including some highly desirable guest handles. The staff is enthusiastic and know there beers. If you only have time for one Tillamook stop, this should be it. Worth driving way out of your way for.

I made it to the #1 place on my lists of lists to visit. Made it here for my 50th B-Day to boot. Middle of no where. Smaller # of taps (6) with not only a bunch of bottles available to go, but a bunch for on-site consumption. My only negative, are all bottles are 750ml - I was the only one drinking so i could only drink a couple. That being said, this is a must stop place ... PERIOD.

Surprisingly small, no-frills spot located in a small industrial park in rural coastal Oregon. I visited on a Thursday in mid-March and was a bit surprised to find a queue of people waiting for it to open. Beers available to takeaway numbered about 5, with another half dozen or so available on tap. There’s also a pretty expansive bottle list that offers some of their more hyped releases at surprisingly decent prices. In general, I think De Garde offers some of the best value wild ales produced in the states. Say what you want about their beer, but it’s very reasonably priced. Beer quality during my visit was very high and the staff were exceedingly friendly. Overall, I was quite impressed by the experience and will happily make the drive out from Portland on future visits. Don’t come expecting to find a destination brewery experience. Calibrate your expectations accordingly.

Worth the drive from portland. Awesome drafts, cool on site bottles. Bottles to go are also affordable.

Small place in the middle of nowhere. Very helpful staff and the beers are world class of course, both their own and guest taps. Very fair prices as well. A must visit when in the area.
