L’Chaim Latkes & Lagers Portland Hanukkah Pop-Up
A Hanukkah-themed Pop Up Experience is opening in Portland next month! And it will miraculously last longer than eight nights
Christmassy flavors like gingerbread and peppermint tend to appear everywhere this time of year. But folks who celebrate Hanukkah have their own range of seasonal tastes, and next month, Portland will receive its first-ever Hanukkah-themed pop-up experience. L’Chaim by Jewish owned and certified Kosher - Leikam Brewing at 5812 E Burnside St. This year Hanukkah begins Thursday, December 7th at sundown, but the pop up experience will run December 1-15th, with events, drinks and snacks inspired by the Jewish holiday.
Often mislabeled as the Jewish Christmas, Hanukkah is an eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting and fried foods. L’Chaim by Leikam Brewing, created by owners, Sonia Marie and Theo Leikam, is meant for anyone who wants to experience a different side of the winter holidays. Their goal is to share their Jewish heritage with the general community by creating a space that celebrates Hanukkah and Jewish culture in a welcoming way.
In addition to beers such as the Maccabeer IPA and Ain’t No Challahback Girl Ale the bar menu will feature eight themed cocktails. The brewery will be decked out with festive Hanukkah decor and events for all ages will take place including live music, Jewish Comedy Night, Hanukkah Crafts for families, Trivia and more. Food partner Wicked Garden Alchemy has created a complementary vegan menu featuring latkes and more!
This event is generously supported by Prosper Portland.
