New brewpub coming to Timberland

Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House, with two locations on Portland’s east side, is best known for its hazy, fruit-forward IPAs and “culinary-inspired” sours and stouts. The company just announced that the company has signed a lease in the Timberland Center in Cedar Mill.

The goal is to officially open right after the New Year 2020 but the landlord has pre-approved a pop-up beer garden tent to open for business while the interior build-out is getting underway. Great Notion hopes to open the pop-up tent on weekends starting in November.

“So many of our customers work at Nike, Intel, and Columbia, but have a hard time getting to our Alberta and NW locations with all the traffic these days,” says cofounder Paul Reiter. “We wanted to make it easier for people out in Beaverton and Hillsboro to be able to try some of our juicy IPAs and flavorful beers like Double Stack and Blueberry Muffin, but not give up any distribution rights or become a distributor ourselves.”

Great Notion’s new space will feature 20 taps, a slimmed down food menu (still to be determined) and also have beer to-go. The location, previously used by Ava Roasteria, is 2000 sq. ft. indoors with roll up garage doors leading to a beautiful elevated stone beer garden.

“We really like the Timberland shopping center because it doesn’t have that old strip mall vibe,” Ryan O’Connor, VP of Operations says. “The wood, stone, and metal construction really echoes our Alberta and NW 28th locations.”

How to survive a kitchen remodel
By Caryl K. Hoffman

You’ve picked out your new appliances, made your selections, hired your designer/contractor, and have set a start date! Congratulations—you’ve made one of the best decisions of your life, and with a little planning, and an occasional glass of wine, the process can even be, sort of, fun. Think of it as an adventure—that’s a good place to start!

Give yourself as much time as possible to pack up your kitchen, and maybe plan a vacation or two. You will be without a kitchen for approximately 10-12 weeks. The absolute minimum will be eight weeks, and 12-14 weeks if your project is large, complicated, or if unforeseen problems pop up—which will be the case approximately 70% of the time.

If you can—move out during the entire construction time. This is the best strategy! If you can’t move out, here are my Top Three suggestions to make this process manageable as possible:

1. Identify a room (basements and bonus rooms are ideal) to set up a makeshift kitchen and eating area.
2. Identify a water source where you can wash fruit, veggies and dishes.
3. Plan some sort of vacation during the construction process, even if it’s just for a few days.

If you’re staying home, keep meals simple. Include takeout food and a few restaurant meals into your budget. Getting to know the prepared food section at your local market will definitely be a must.

Keep things in perspective. The process may be intrusive, noisy and a little dusty, and the process may become tedious. But the problems will get solved, the work will be done, and in the end you will have a fabulous new kitchen—a space that will be lovely to look at, a joy to cook in, and a stylish place to entertain family and friends. It will also increase the quality of your life and the value of your home. How great will that be? Just remember—be flexible and hang in there.
