Portland Beer and Cheese Fest offers master pairings
Back after 4 years, the Portland Beer and Cheese Festival pairs beers and cheeses in revelatory flavor combinations that delight the palate. Beers from 10 different Oregon breweries are paired specifically with specific cheeses from across the world, on a guided sensory exploration that starts light and fresh and ends bold and brash.
Tillamook Cheese and Portland Beer Week present the 2023 Portland Beer and Cheese Festival on Sunday, June 25th at Living Häus Beer Co. Originally founded in 2012 at The Commons Brewery, the beer and cheese fest has been a staple of Portland Beer Week since the pandemic squashed our plans. The festival is returning on 6/25 for the first time since 2019, and going back to one of our original locations at 628 SE Belmont St, which was formerly The Commons and is now Living Häus Beer
