The Oregon Brewers Festival is one of the nation's longest running and best loved craft beer festivals. Situated on the west bank of the Willamette River, with towering Mt. Hood as a backdrop, it is the ideal venue for anyone who loves craft beer. With a laid back attitude and scores of craft beers, the festival reflects the essence of the city of Portland.The Oregon Brewers Festival exists to provide an opportunity to sample and learn about a variety of craft beer styles from across the country. 

Eighty-six craft breweries from the US offer more than 30 styles of handcrafted beers to 80,000 beer lovers during the five-day event; two taps are dedicated to gluten-free beer, and a tap is reserved for the OregonBrew Crew Collaborator homebrew project.

The International Beer Garden will feature six breweries from Japan, seven breweries from The Netherlands plus two breweries from Germany. The International Beer Garden was incorporated three years ago as part of a cultural exchange of ideas, knowledge and the celebration of craft beer.

The festival’s focus is craft beer, but there's more than sampling involved. The event also features live music, beer-related vendors, displays, homebrewing demonstrations, and an assortment of food vendors. The Crater Lake Root Beer Garden offers complimentary handcrafted soda for minors and designated drivers. Minors are welcome at the festival when accompanied by a parent.
