Snackdown 4D! Trailer and Brewer/Chef Pairings
Snackdown is one of Portland Beer Week's most popular events and the official closing party of the week. Snackdown 4D, the 2019 version of this ultimate brewer/chef pairing throwdown is this Sunday, June 16th from 1-4pm with an early 12pm VIP session. The final and full menu of beer and small plate pairings has been shared below, and the new trailer is posted above.
This high end/elevated beer and food pairing showcase is held with a WWE wrestling theme that has many of the teams dressing up and humorously talking smack about each other. The idea is to showcase some of the greatest food and beer pairings you may ever have but do so in an unpretentious way.
