PORTLAND, Ore. –The Pearl District Business Association (PDBA)
has announced the second annual Pints in the Pearl, a one-day craft beer
festival that showcases some of the best beers that Pearl District breweries
have to offer, while also celebrating many of the neighborhood’s superb
restaurants and distinctive businesses. The event will take place on Saturday,
June 3rd, from noon to 9 pm along NW 13th Avenue between Davis and
Hoyt streets. These blocks will be
closed to vehicles.
Five craft breweries — 10 Barrel Brewing, BridgePort Brewing, Deschutes Brewery , Fat Heads Brewery, and BackPedal — will each host
a station serving three different beers, including one
made exclusively for the event. Each
station will be manned by brewery staff, allowing attendees to learn
more about the beer from the very people who make and serve it. River Pig Saloon will
also be on hand featuring both food and their own River Pig lager, and several
local restaurants, such as Brix Tavern and Verde Cocina, will serve
fresh fare to festival attendees.
Additional sponsors include Centrl Office who will be
onsite with cold brew coffee samples and Portland
Streetcar which will be
running all day and into evening to support the festivities.
“We’re so thrilled to bring this festival to the
Pearl District again,” says Carolyn “CC” Ciolkosz, executive director of the
Pearl District Business Association. “Fans of beer come from all over the world
to experience our neighborhood’s acclaimed — and award-winning — craft
breweries. This is truly a community-wide event, and we’re especially excited
this year to have collaborated with Portland Northwest College of Art (PNCA) on
developing the design of our Pints in the Pearl poster and logo.” PNCA students
submitted design ideas for the poster, and the student with the winning design
received a $1,000 scholarship.
Pre-sale Pint Packages are $25, which includes a
limited-edition souvenir stainless-steel pint and two tokens, valued at $5
each. Each token is good for one 16 oz. beer – food sales are separate. Additional
tokens may be purchased onsite. Pint Packages go on sale May 11 at PintsInThePearl.com, and you can
also purchase them for $35 at the door. (Note: only credit and debit cards
are accepted onsite.)
In addition to beer and food, Pints in the Pearl
will present family-friendly entertainment ranging from cornhole and giant
Jenga, to live music by bands including The Garcia
Birthday Band, Redwood Son, The Quick &
Easy Boys, and Tony Ozier. The event is open to all ages.
Pints in the Pearl is presented by the Pearl
District Business Association, a nonprofit
organization with the mission to promote the Pearl District as
the region’s premier destination for shopping, dining, art, and
living. Its goal is to enhance the vitality of businesses by providing
value to its members and to the community.
The event is being produced by Stori, a Portland-based strategy studio with a 20 year track record of
helping some of the world's most successful companies make their brands matter
to the right audience.
