Fodor's Expert Review Ferment Brewing Company

One of the latest venues to further Hood River's reputation as something of a mini Brewvana, Ferment uses traditional farmhouse techniques to craft complex beers as well as kombucha, from Bavarian-inspired smoked dunkelweisse to Japanese-style sensa kombucha. The gorgeous, airy tasting room has huge windows overlooking the waterfront, and the kitchen turns out tasty gastropub fare that utilizes the brewery's fermentation-forward approach—think salt and vinegar fries with kombucha ketchup and house-pickled veggies.
