Leave it to Seattle, Washington’s Fremont Brewing to unite Portland, Oregon bottleshops and beer bars John’s Marketplace and Belmont Station for a Black Friday celebration to benefit a good cause. The Black Friday Friendsgiving runs for 3-full days from November 25-27th leading up to a massive bottle cellar sale of rare Fremont Brewing beers at both John’s Marketplace locations (SE and SW Portland) followed by an equally impressive tap takeover at Belmont Station and a bake sale, with raffle prizes and a fundraising drive for warm clothes to benefit the local Snow Cap Community Charities.

Both John’s Marketplaces and Belmont Station will be collecting socks, coats and cash for SnowCap for all three-days. Each donation will earn you a raffle ticket for a prize pack containing swag and gift certificates from Fremont Brewing and the participating beer stores. All locations will have one large gift package valued at $250+ to raffle at the end of the three days. No need to be present to win, winners will be notified by phone and email on 11/28. Prizes include Fremont Brewing sweatshirt, hat, can cooler, and sweet ass hammocks, plus gift cards, beer and swag from each hosting bottleshop.

Fremont Brewing representatives will be at all three participating locations on Black Friday, November 25th, 2022.

From 3-5pm you can show up at either of the two John’s Marketplace locations for rare cellared bottles from Fremont Brewing for-sale to-go as great gifts for yourself or others, as a bonus they will be pouring samples from all of them!

There will be a table full of homemade goodies for “give what you can” donation system pricing from 5-8pm by The Local Ladies Get Down, a 501c3 non-profit made up of women from the Eagle’s Lodge. This means you can give $1 or give $100 for a selection of lots of cookies, brownies, cakes, freshly baked loaves of bread, and many other options. The local ladies have hosted five of these bake sales across Portland in the last year and they raise on average $750 each time for charitable causes.
