A Night of Brewer Trading Cards at The Beermongers

The comedic concept for this year’s Oregon Beer Awards opening ceremony sketch video was based around the idea of beer nerds geeking out about brewer trading cards a la the baseball and basketball cards of the 90’s. The idea was so fun to execute and yielded so many hilarious in-jokes that over four dozen brewer cards were designed and printed in the real world just for the making of the video. Many of the brewer cards were seen only for a brief moment, or not at all in the sketch, yet the cards themselves were very real.

Designed by Vancouver, Washington based branding/marketing firm Zzeppelin in collaboration with the New School and Oregon Beer Awards 2023 host MC’s Ben Love of Gigantic Brewing and Natalie Baldwin of Wayfinder Beer, the brewer trading cards are finally being released to the public on Wednesday, June 21st from 5-8pm at The Beermongers.

This Portland Beer Week event titled Brewers Diamond: A night of beer bar trading cards featuring brewers, will feature packs of these extremely limited cards for sale and with on-site trading encouraged! What is even cooler, is that a number of the brewers featured on the cards will be at the event in person to autograph and trade cards too!

Special guests at the event (more being added) include:

  • Ben Love of Gigantic Brewing

  • Natalie Baldwin of Wayfinder Beer

  • Charles Porter of Little Beast Brewing

  • Darren Provenzano formerly of Fracture Brewing

  • Sam Pecoraro of Von Ebert Brewing
