Portland Beer and Cheese Fest

Returning for the first time since 2019, Tillamook Cheese presents the Portland Beer and Cheese Fest, an all inclusive celebration of cheese and it's ultimate beer pairings. Founded by master cheesemonger Steve Jones and PDXBeerWeek.com, each of 10 different breweries beers have been expertly paired with a corresponding cheese in this carefully guided tour of flavor.

Portland Beer and Cheese Festival will be held on Sunday, June 25th as part of Portland Beer Week with three different sessions. VIP early entry admission limited to 100 people from 11am - 12pm. General Admission session #1 from 12pm - 2:30pm, and General Admission session #2 from 3-5pm.

Steve Jones is the founder/owner of such seminal shops as Cheese Bar, and the Cheese Annex. In 2011, Steve competed with 40 cheesemongers from around the world to win the 2nd Annual Cheesemonger Invitational in Long Island, New York. Steve has appeared in local and national media outlets, including Portland’s Live Wire radio show and National Public Radio’s The Splendid Table.

In 2012 Steve and Portland Beer Week organizer Ezra Johnson-Greenough teamed with The Commons Brewery owner Mike Wright to found the first ever Portland Beer and Cheese Festival. The event was held every consecutive year moving from the original Commons/Beetje brewery space, to their expanded building on SE Belmont, before one brief year in the location that is now Wayfinder Beer, and several more years at The Bindery Annex home to Culmination Brewing.

In 2023 the Portland Beer and Cheese Fest is returning to one of it's original venues at 628 SE Belmont St
Portland, OR 97214, formerly The Commons Brewery, and now Living Häus Beer Co.

Each festival entry ticket is for a special branded festival glass and all 10 expertly paired beers and cheeses, with complementary charcuterie and chocolate stations, (all included in the admission cost.)
