Fresh Hop Pop-Up Beer Fest takes over Prost! Marketplace for 2 Weeks
One week from today, the Portland Fresh Hop Pop-Up Beer Fest returns for it's 4th year at Prost! Marketplace and Bloodbuzz. Formerly held in front of Burnside Brewing Co., this fresh hop beer garden will pop-up at a new location on N. Mississippi with ten rotating taps running for two whole weeks for more than 12 hours a day September 16-29th, 2019.
This year Prost! Marketplace hosts the 2-week-long tap takeover at what has been called Portland’s “top food cart pod” by The Oregonian. If you have not been recently, the area has been built out onto a nice semi-covered and elevated deck with 10 local food carts including the drool worthy Matt's BBQ. Flagship beer cart Bloodbuzz will be pouring beers for the event starting at 8am and running to 9pm Sunday through Thursday and 10pm on Friday and Saturday. Most beers will be $6 pints and $4 for 10oz pours of fresh hop beers. No tickets, cover charge or special glassware required and this event is all-ages.
