Cheers, NAOBF! (photo by Timothy Horn) |
The North American Organic Brewers Festival (NAOBF) is celebrating it's 10th anniversary this year, and I'm really looking forward to it. Mark your calendars for June 26th through June 29th and I'll see you there at Portland's Overlook Park!
This event has always been one of my favorite Portland brew fests. Why? Well, besides being eco-conscious and jam-packed with over 60 organic beers and ciders of every variety, admission is FREE. That's right, you can bring all your friends--even those who don't drink beer. A compostable tasting cup will set you back a mere $6.00 and taster tokens are $1.00. That really is one of your best beer fest values. Drink exactly as much as you want and pay as you go!
To make it even better, a Trimet ticket or a ticket from Hopworks Bike Corral will get you a dollar discount off the cup. Seriously, folks, don't drink and drive, and NAOBF makes it simple enough. The MAX literally rolls up and drops you off directly in front of the park. Tons of secure bike parking, too. Easy-freaking-breezy!
In addition to affordability and promotion of sustainability, the venue is AWESOME. There's always a laid-back family feeling--not the chug-a-lug fratboy atmosphere that permeates some other events. Overlook Park provides a great view of the river and the city beyond. Relax and enjoy your beer! There's even a Kid's Zone with games and activities for the shorties in your crew. Need more convincing? Okay, here's the beer list for 2014:
