Portland Beer and Cheese Fest, is an all inclusive celebration of cheese and it's ultimate beer pairings. Founded by master cheesemonger Steve Jones and PDXBeerWeek.com, each of 10 different breweries and cidery have been expertly paired with a corresponding cheese in this carefully guided tour of flavor.

Each festival entry ticket is for all 10 pairing, plus bonus snacks and accompaniments like a manchego cheese sour beer ice cream from Salt & Straw Ice Cream.

This year’s Portland Beer and Cheese Fest will be held at the new Bauman’s Cider Portland location - Bauman’s on Oak! This will be an indoor and outdoor (weather dependent) event with a more intimate crowd then previous years.
