2024 PDX Beer Week Sponsor form
Portland Beer Week returns June 14-23rd 2024
Portland Beer Week is a 10-day annual celebration of beer in the greatest beer city on earth. Our events span the inner city, into the suburbs and feature special beers, collaborations with food providers and craftspeople, enlightening pairing events, seminars, beer dinners, screenings, and much, much more that proves why Portland remains a top destination for beer.
This isn’t just a beer festival, it’s a celebration of creativity, craft and culture. Portland Beer Week showcases everything that makes craft beer great from beer films, history, and design to tasting and pairing all the way to the economics, science and business of craft beer. It’s not just fun, it’s educational and palate opening for thousands of people nationwide, drawing not just from the local community but beer fans across the country and every year the number of international guests increases.
“make way for Portland Beer Week, a week-and-change’s worth of events that showcase and elevate the city’s absurdly fertile local beer scene”
Portland Beer Week is a grassroots organization founded in 2011 as a small side project. Over the last 10 years the event has found it’s footing as a smaller and curated 10-day event with modest sponsorships aimed at benefiting both small breweries, bars, restaurants and bottle shops as well as the beer fans that make them. To make Portland Beer Week possible, we need your help. A variety of small to medium sized investments benefit both the ongoing production of beer week as well as raising awareness and building the brands of those who support us.

To make Portland Beer Week possible, we need your help. A variety of small to medium sized investments benefit both the ongoing production of beer week as well as raising awareness and building the brands of those who support us.
Portland Beer Week makes room to participate even at small levels from the neighborhood pub or nano brewery to large beer distributors and grocery stores. The minimum level of investment is only $100 which gets your events on our official calendar and website. If you are looking to showcase your brand or products there are many more opportunities to co-brand or participate in events with thousands of attendees.
