Portland has long been a hub for craft beer enthusiasts, with a rich history dating back to the 1980s. It was during this time that local breweries like Widmer Brothers and Deschutes began to gain popularity, paving the way for future generations of brewers.
Fast forward to the 2000s, when the city's craft beer scene began to explode. This growth led to the creation of the Portland Beer Fest in 2011, which aimed to bring together local breweries and enthusiasts alike.
This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever. With over 100 local breweries in attendance, attendees will have access to a vast array of unique and innovative beers.
