Hood River, Oregon’s pFriem Family Brewers is excited to get back to throwing big events in the gorge, with a trio of them planned for this summer. Not since 2019 has pFriem thrown their annual anniversary bash at Hood River Waterfront Park, in 2024 that returns with a bang, and a new summer kick-off party, and later an Oktoberfest celebration. For each of the events, pFriem will partner with Grasslands Barbecue - the highly acclaimed Tex-ish style barbecue food truck located on the Hood River Waterfront -  to make sure guests have their hands full of outstanding food while sipping on pFriem Beer.
