Portland Craft Beer Festival kicks off this week at a new venue

In the tumultuous beer festival industry, the Portland Craft Beer Festival has emerged as one of the most dependable attractions of the year. The 2014 founded PCBF hasn’t slowed down since the pandemic, but the event will try out a brand new venue for the first time in its history relocating from The Fields in NW Portland to the new Elizabeth Carruters Park in South Portland from July 4-6th, 2024.


On the surface Portland Craft Beer Festival meets the generic description of ‘beerfest in a park’ but what makes this event different is that it only features beverages crafted within the city limits of Portland. So you won’t find any carpet bagging beers from California, or evergreen brews from Washington, you won’t even find any mountain brewskis from central Oregon. Luckily for us the city of Portland has way more than enough to choose from, and the PCBF also includes local ciders and wine-based cocktails to round out the selction with something for everyone. This year’s taplist features 33 beers, and 10 ciders and wine based cocktails. Beer Samples are one ticket for a 4oz pour. Some specialty items are two tickets and certain beers are full pours for 4 tickets (rotates daily)


Every year, the Portland Craft Beer Festival provides booth space for local artisans.  At the festival, you will find a variety crafts, souvenirs, activities and snacks ranging from a Jacuzzi remodel service and a 3D printing studio, to a small batch coffee roaster and hot sauce.

Food offerings:

  • Yoonique Pho and Grill

  • Weinerwurst Urban German

  • Cousins Maine Lobster


Purchase Online Tickets Via Mercury Ticketing to ensure you receive a keepsake tin and to take advantage of our presale discounted entry of $35. Entry gets you in and out of the festival all 3 days! Just be sure to keep your wristband on and cup in hand to re-enter.
