Brewery Profile

Forest Pass Brewing

In Dallas’s small-city beer scene, Forest Pass Brewing is a relatively new stop, having begun operations in 2023. A visitor walking in should expect a brewery built around beer, food, and community use rather than a production story with publicized awards or flagship lore. Its setting at the base of the eastern slope of the Oregon Coast Range gives the place a clear regional frame: this is a Dallas taproom that draws on the forests, working history, and travel routes that have long shaped the area. The brewery describes its beer program as using locally sourced Northwest ingredients across a variety of beers, with the taproom serving as a gathering place for locals and visitors.

Travelers in this part of Oregon often look for stops that connect the Willamette Valley side of the state with the wooded Coast Range beyond it. Some are seeking Oregon beer made with regional ingredients; others want a relaxed meal stop before or after exploring nearby towns, forest roads, or coastal-route drives. Forest Pass fits that kind of itinerary without requiring a specialized beer background. Since no specific year-round beers or named styles are provided, the best way to approach the tap list is as a rotating local offering rather than a fixed lineup. The brewery’s stated themes of exploration, storytelling, and local history also make it a fitting pause for visitors interested in the cultural setting as much as the beer itself.

For practical planning, the key visitor amenities are straightforward: Forest Pass Brewing has a full kitchen and is family-friendly. That makes it suitable for groups that include non-drinkers, children, or people who want food with their beer rather than a taproom-only stop. Specific hours, menu items, seating details, and current pours are not part of the available information, so the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s beers and food options. Visitors should expect a community-oriented brewery experience grounded in Dallas and the nearby Coast Range, with the convenience of on-site food and a setting meant for casual gatherings.

Located in Dallas, Oregon, at the base of the eastern slope of the Oregon Coast Range, Forest Pass Brewing began operations in 2023.

Forest Pass Brewing uses locally sourced northwest ingredients to craft a variety of beers. The brewery emphasizes community involvement and provides a space for gatherings. Its approach reflects both the natural surroundings and the local history of exploration and storytelling.
