A spectacular Astoria craft brewery and restaurant built on a historic pier over the Columbia River: the brewing tanks are visible through the floor grates, the river flows beneath your feet, and the Astoria Bridge and the Columbia estuary stretch to the horizon in both directions. Buoy Beer produces some of Oregon’s finest Pacific Northwest-inspired ales and lagers; the pier setting over the Columbia is genuinely extraordinary; and watching the sea lions that haul out on the docks below while drinking a fresh-poured Buoy IPA is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most distinctive and most memorable brewery experiences.
