Green Dragon Hosts Inaugural Mini Beer Fest

Portland, OR, August 17, 2009 - On August 29th from 11:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday August 30th from 11:00am to 7:00pm, the city of Portland will close down SE 9th Street between SE Belmont and SE Yamhill for the 1st Annual Mini Beer Fest. The event will feature 30+ independent Oregon-based breweries that brew no-more-than 1,000 barrels per year, providing festival goers with exciting, hard-to-find beers.

Each brewer will bring 2 different styles of beer with them to pour during the Mini Beer Fest. Some of the breweries include:

* Alameda Brewing Co. * Calapooia Brewing Co. * Klamath Basin Brewing
* Fort George Brewery * Block 15 Brewery * Fearless Brewing
* Hair of the Dog Brewing * Vertigo Brewing * Three Creeks Brewing
* Fanno Creek Brewing * Upright Brewing * 10 Barrel Brewing
* Old Market Pub * Seven Brides Brewing * Eugene City Brewery
* Wet Dog Cafe

Attendees will be able to take their favorite beers home with them in bottles, growlers and kegs to go. If the beer is not enough to keep cool, tours of the Green Dragon's 1,040 square foot, glow-in-the-dark cooler will be held hourly. Other activities include:

12:00 to 5:00 - Dog Wash
12:00 to 4:00 - Washers Tournament
11:00 to 9:00 - Free Pinball
11:00 to 9:00 - Free Shuffleboard

Mini Beer Fest is 100% dog-friendly and owners are encouraged to bring their companions with them. A portion of the proceeds from the Mini Beer Festival will benefit the Portland-based Pixie Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing animal adoption in a nurturing environment and affording access to spay and neuter services for everyone.

With a $10.00 paid admission, each attendee will receive 5 taster tickets. Additional tickets will be sold for $1.00 each.

Established in 2007, the Green Dragon is listed by Imbibe magazine as one of the "100 Best Places to Drink Beer in America," and by DRAFT Magazine as one of the "Best Beer Bars in America." Green Dragon features 19 taps that rotate rapidly between hard to find, esoteric beers. Location: 928 SE 9th Street, Portland, OR 97214.

My wife and kids are going to Great Wolf with some other moms/girls this weekend.

I may have to bring my dog down to SE on Saturday to have a few brews and get the dog out for a bit.

EDIT - shoot, they changed the dates? Damn it!
 
They changed the date! Well that sucks!

ABM - do you have a link to the change date news? I googled it and didnt find anyone saying the date has changed.

Portland beer lovers will have to wait another month to guzzle at the Inaugural Oregon Mini Beer Fest, which was supposed to take place at Green Dragon this Saturday and Sunday. Organizers emailed this morning to alert everybody that the festival has been rescheduled for the weekend of September 19-20 due to “scheduling conflicts.”

So, yeah, just ignore our mention of the festival, which was supposed to “feature 30+ independent Oregon-based breweries that brew no-more-than 1,000 barrels per year, providing festival goers with exciting, hard to-find beers,” in the print edition of this week’s Headout page. Don’t even look at it.
 
This weekend!

On Saturday September 19th from 11:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday September 20th from 11:00am to 7:00pm, the city of Portland will close down SE 9th Street between SE Belmont and SE Yamhill for the 1st Annual Mini Beer Fest.
