Portland Craft Beer Festival Returns: A Celebration of Brews, Food, and Community in the Pearl District

Get ready to raise your glasses as the Portland Craft Beer Festival returns to The Fields Park (1099 NW Overton St) in the Pearl District. Celebrating the city's renowned beer culture, this festival has become one of the largest dedicated to the craft beer industry, featuring a diverse selection of incredible brews from local breweries.

This year, we are expanding our offerings to include NA options, ciders, gluten-free beers, and wine cocktails, alongside the city's finest craft beers. With a mix of seasonal, flagship brews, and exclusive debuts, there's something for every beer lover to enjoy.

Food options will abound, with a variety of local food trucks and vendors offering delicious snacks and meals. We've taken care to curate craft vendors from small businesses, ensuring an authentic and unique experience. On Sunday, we're thrilled to bring back the Children's Market, where young entrepreneurs can showcase their crafts alongside family-friendly activities and free NA beverages. Don't miss the Voodoo Donuts truck, showcasing the beloved local donut scene.

The Portland Craft Beer Festival is not your typical beer festival. We've created a relaxed and carefree environment for you to enjoy games, music, and open seating. Bring your blanket, sip on tastings or full pours, and unwind for hours. And of course, dogs are welcome! If it gets too hot, cool off in our water play area or under the refreshing misters.

Mark your calendars for the festival running from Friday, June 30th (12-10pm, 21 and over) to Saturday, July 1st (12-10pm, 21 and over), and Sunday, July 2nd (12-6pm, All ages Family Day).

Tickets can be purchased online for $40 (total) through Bold Type Tickets or $50 at the door, which includes a keepsake tin, ten tickets (40oz of beer), and a Hop Passport. Additional tickets can be obtained for $1 each, and full pours will cost 5 tickets. Look out for the red signs indicating 12oz pours of select brews.

If you're interested in a free entry, consider volunteering to pour beer during one of our shifts. Volunteers receive 20 tickets (80oz) for a two and a half-hour shift on Friday or Saturday night, or 10 tickets (40oz) for a three and a half-hour shift in the afternoon. For more information, visit the PCBF Volunteers page.

Join us for a media presentation on Thursday, June 29th at 7pm, where you can sample beers, ciders, cocktails, and NA beverages. If you'd like to participate, kindly email us back, and we'll include you in the Media Night email with further details.
