A new bakery, The Brewer’s Bread, has recently opened in northwest Portland. Owners Adam and Kellee Curfew have brought their love for sourdough bread to the neighborhood. Adam, a former brewer, uses scientific methods from brewing to create unique and flavorful sourdough loaves. The couple moved from Salt Lake City to Portland to embrace the city’s lively food scene and support local businesses. One of their specialties is the sourdough croissant, a challenging pastry that took Adam a year and a half to perfect. The bakery is also nut-free, catering to Adam’s own nut allergy. Customers have been raving about the quality of their baked goods, with one even saying the croissant brought them to tears. The Brewer’s Bread is quickly becoming a favorite among Portlanders for its delicious and carefully crafted treats.
