2019 Eugene Beer Week Event Lineup

This year, Eugene Beer Week officially starts on June 3, though a handful of events take place in the preceding days. Like all beer weeks, Eugene Beer Week is an amplified celebration of the local beer scene, with events like beer releases, beer dinners, brewfests, and brewery tours to get your ya-yas out and support our hardworking beer community. We asked the local breweries and beer bars to pick some of their events to feature here; all that responded are below.
