2024 Oregon Trail Brewfest is one of the largest, best beer fests still pouring

Oregon City Brewing Presents One-Day Festival Featuring Over 50 Breweries and Cideries

The Oregon Trail Brewfest has become the biggest beer event in Oregon’s Clackamas County, and probably one of the largest local beer fests still taking place in the state. This Saturday, July 20th the Oregon Trail Brewfest presented by Oregon City Brewing returns for it’s 5th year at the delightful location the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

Highlighting over 50 different breweries and cider producers from across the state of Oregon, the one-day festival will also feature six different musical acts and food from nine different local vendors. While those wishing to drink will need to be over the age of 21 and purchase tickets, minors are allowed and entry is free for anyone wishing to enjoy the festivities.

The festival will showcase one product per company, with Oregon City Brewing, the host brewery, pouring multiple options. Among the highlights are new beers from Assembly Brewing, Great Notion, and Double Mountain, as well as the new 2024 3-Way variant, which is a double hazy IPA collaboration between Fort George, Brujos, and Ghost Town.
