Portland Beer Week
This 10-day “week” in June makes every day taste like the weekend.
John Patrick Pullen
In Beervana, suds are celebrated every waking and drinking hour — but Portland’s PDX Beer Week takes that adoration for beer to the next level. Every June, PDX Beer Week brings limited-edition brews, a lineup full of events and specials at bars and brewpubs citywide. The festival returns June 12-21, 2020, overflowing with so much hop fever that the “week” spills into nine full days of thirst-quenching fun.
Special events like pairings, brewer’s dinners, seminars, neighborhood pub crawls, tap takeovers and much more keep the beer and the fun flowing every year. Portland restaurants even get in on the PDX Beer Week celebration, often offering special beer-inflected products at local eateries. (In light of all those suds, it’s probably smart to spread the week over 9 days, after all.)
