City/town information
In Beaverton itself, there is plenty to explore. Grab a cold one at a tap room like White Oak Tap House, Central Station Taps, Nebulous Taproom, or The Growlerie which overlooks a lake. For a beer town, Cooper Mountain Vineyards has captivated locals with its 100% biodynamic and organic wines plus an oak grove setting overlooking the valley.
Another local spot is BG’s Food Cartel which has a bar and 30+ food trucks serving all kinds of cuisines. On the recreation front, Cooper Mountain Nature Park and Tualatin Hills Nature Park both offer hiking and jogging trails through diverse habitats and nature centers with programming. Portlanders also say the Jenkins Estate – it’s on the National Register of Historic Places – is a must-see with its historic country home, English gardens, and trails from the early 1900s.
