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.
