Ground Breaker is one of two Certified Gluten Free Breweries in the United States. Not gluten removed or gluten reduced!

On safety—Our entire brewery, kitchen, and taproom are dedicated gluten-free spaces. We do not allow any gluten in the building, and use only naturally gluten-free ingredients in our food and beer. We do this by avoiding gluten containing grains, malts, etc.

Was really happy to have such a nice place to go eat and even had food a little kid liked. Super nice people working there who answered my questions about food safety and celiac for my daughter. I really appreciated it.

Fantastic beer and amazing food. I went with two non-gluten free people and they both agreed that they wouldn’t have been able to tell that either food or beer were gluten free if they didn’t know before hand. Fried chicken is out of this world good. Portions are huge.

From the owner


Because many who have an auto-immune disease, celiac disease, or gluten allergies also have other food allergies, we brew our beer without soy or corn. We list the full ingredient list on the side of every can, and use only gluten-free malts and grains.

Our entire facility is dedicated gluten free. Nothing containing gluten is permitted or used on the premises, in the brewery or the kitchen.

I'm a somewhat newly diagnosed celiac and had a week work trip to Portland recently. I went here the first day, the food and drink are both SO good, and I didn't get sick at all. So I ate (and drank) here two more times again during the trip, still never got sick, and thoroughly enjoyed everything there. The entire place is completely gluten free, and they also substituted in non-dairy cheese for me. I highly recommend going well out of your way to visit here! And my colleagues without gluten issues also loved everything!

Delicious beer! The food is alright, so if you're coming here, come for the beer. My fried chicken was very yummy (slightly overbreaded & overcooked), husband's pupusas were bland. Beer gets a 10/10, and is worth the trip for that alone.

Nice relaxed atmosphere! Amazing selection of beer(9 on tap)all GF. You can get a flight of them all to taste. My husband (non celiac) had one of the dark beers and said it was delicious, he wouldn’t have known it was gluten free. The food was great, all GF. El Salvadoran, I think. It’s was fun to be out and be able to try something different and not worry about getting sick. You order the food by QR code at your table. Food is by Salvi PDX but is all made on site. I got a 6 pack of beer to go as well. I will definitely be back.

There is no gluten allowed in this facility. it is dedicated gluten free, including the food.

The beer selection rotates and they have 9 fresh beers on tap, with many more available in cans to take home. They also do 25% off growler fills on Fridays! It is heaven. The beers are SO GOOD.

Incredibly surprised in a great way.

Beer was delicious. Good options for all styles and tastes.

Food provided by Honey Butter Country Fare. Limited menu - corn dog/bratwurst was only entree - but what they do, they do well. Side salad was simple and really tasty. And FUNNEL CAKE.

Definitely returning next time through Portland.

My sister and I ate here on our sister date around Christmas when I was home for the holiday. So super celiac friendly, right down to the note on the door, asking for non gluten free foods to remain outside the establishment for the safety of their celiac and NCGS patrons. They were out of a few of the things we wanted, but what we ended with was worth it. I had the taster of the dark ale (lightweight here) and absolutely loved it...they have their own GF microbrewery...and I was super excited when I found their beer behind security at the airport on my way home since I hadn't picked any up while there. Worth my time and energy to make a trip back there the next time I'm home in Portland.

Beer is excellent. It's a unique recipe and they do smashing good job at a biscuity pale ale and dark ale.

Service is a little strange sometimes. I don't feel like the bartenders like me.

For food, there's a wide basic American menu. I'm not sure why they do things like offer potato chips with your burger and then bring them in a bowl before the meal like an appetizer. No fries? It is dedicated gluten free and I appreciate the NO GLUTEN allowed signs.

Went for dinner with my family, very rude server. Small menu and not a lot of option . We waited for probably 20 minutes before someone came to take our order. Went on a Wednesday at 5:00pm for dinner and most of the things we tried to order they did not have available. Paid $75.00 for food that we did not enjoy. Definently would not come back again

Pros: I didn't get glutened. Cons: I got FOOD POISONING. On vacation. I had been looking forward to our visit for months and was expecting an experience similar to Ghostfish in Seattle (which is 5 stars in every way). Unfortunately, the service and food terrible. No one in there was remotely friendly. I agree with another reviewer that the bartender doesn't know how to pour a stout-like beer. She should watch some Guinness youtube videos. The beer should fill more than 2/3 of the glass, especially when you take more than 5 minutes to pour it. I ate the chile con carne and my husband had a cubano (which is nothing like a real cubano; I'm from Florida and ate the real thing regularly until my celiac dx). I can't recommend highly enough that you avoid this place. Go anywhere else and save yourself the misery of food poisoning.

Because this is a dedicated facility, I gave it another star. The food was really weird. We had the shrimp toast which tasted like chicken salad. I felt like I was in the 80’s because all of the mayonnaise and celery. I ordered a BBQ sandwich and it was tender, but not a typical BBQ sandwich. I also ordered a pickle with it and it wasn’t even a pickle. They gave me the grossest pickled vegetables I’ve ever had in my life. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had vinegar vegetables before. I ordered a dark nitro beer which they call a pint, but it was never filled up. Desert Bread pudding was good. In conclusion, it was bad. Normally don’t complain, but we will not be back.

Was only in Portland for a few days but came here twice! Absolutely love the " No gluten allowed" sign on the door - makes me feel just that much safer even though I already know is it a dedicated gf facility. Call ahead to see which days they are serving the fried chicken because it is amazing. This was the first time I had eaten fried chicken since being diagnosed and it tasted so good I almost cried tears of joy. And the warm chocolate chip cookies are incredible, a little pricey but delicious.
