3rd Annual Kriekfest
2018-07-28 11:00 - 19:00 | Hood River Waterfront Park, 650 Portway Ave, Hood River, OR, 97031, United States
Kriekfest returns for its third annual inception, harvesting an even bigger basket of cherry beers (and ciders and a sparkling cherry wine) and moving to a new home in Hood River. Hood Valley’s abundance of cherry orchards served as the inspiration for this event. The largest celebration devoted exclusively to barrel-aged cherry beverages (each only available in four-ounce pours) will take place at Waterfront Park directly on the Columbia River. Kriekfest 2018 tickets are now available at merctickets.com/go/Kriekfest.
Admission purchased by June 30 is $40 and includes 24 drink tickets, while admission purchased after July 1 will come with 20 tickets. If the event does not sell out in advance gate admission will be $45 and will come with 18 tickets. All paid attendees will receive a commemorative stemmed glass. The festival this year takes place Saturday, July 28 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Kriek, Flemish for cherry, is a four-centuries-old style of spontaneously-fermented, lambic ales aged on cherries (pits and all). This year’s lineup features an even larger collection of world-class examples imported from Belgium for Kriekfest including Brasserie Cantillon, Brouwerij Drei Fonteinen, Brouwerij Boon, Brouwerij Brasserie De Ranke, and Hanssens Artisanaal. Cherry-growing regions are natural for such beers so it’s no surprise the Hood River Valley’s Belgian-inspired breweries make excellent krieks. The breweries in the Gorge featured at the fest include pFriem Family Brewers, Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, Solera Brewery, and Double Mountain Brewing . New Oregon breweries to Kriekfest include small and exceptional wild ale brewers Ale Apothecary and Wolf Tree, both of which created sour cherry beers designed specifically for this event. Combined with the fertile Willamette Valley, Oregon cherry farmers harvest over 13,000 acres of cherries.
The celebration of cherry-laced libations is family-friendly and features a Cherry Marketplace and other delicious food from Hood River caterers including special cherry gelatos created by Cicci Gelato.

The 23rd annual Holiday Ale Festival will take place Nov. 28 through Dec. 2 at Pioneer Courthouse Square, located at 701 SW Sixth Ave. in downtown Portland. The Northwest’s longest-running outdoor winter beer festival – which is tented and heated – will feature 54 craft beers, ciders and meads in the main lineup.

The Holiday Ale Festival is highly regarded as presenting one of best lineups of winter beers and ciders anywhere in the nation.

“Heated clear top tents in the center of downtown, with the city’s lighted holiday tree towering over the fest like a beacon for good beer, set the scene for this festival,” explained Festival Manager Preston Weesner. “But what really sets it apart are the brewers and their commitment to their fans with the products they choose to make. This festival is an opportunity for the brewers to be all in on the creative factor and throw down something really special to share.”

This year’s participating breweries include 2 Towns Ciderhouse, Ascendant Beer Co., Bauman’s Cider Co., Bear Republic Brewing Co., Coalition, Collaborator (Oregon Brew Crew/Widmer), Crooked Stave Brewing, Crux Fermentation Project, Deschutes Brewery, Drake’s Brewing Co., Ecliptic Brewing, Eel River Brewing Co., Elysian Brewing Co., Firestone Walker Brewing Co., Fort George Brewery, Fremont Brewing, Georgetown Brewing Co., Gigantic, Golden Valley Brewery, Great Notion Brewing, Hopworks Urban Brewery, Klamath Basin Brewing Co., Lagunitas Brewing Co., Laurelwood Brewing Co., Lompoc Brewing, MadCow Brewing Co., McMenamins Edgefield Brewery, Migration Brewing Co., Monkless Belgian Ales, Montavilla Brew Works, Nectar Creek, Ninkasi Brewing Co., Oakshire Brewing, Old Town Brewing, Ordnance Brewing, Pelican Brewing Co., pFriem Family Brewers, Portland Cider Co., Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider, RiverBend Brewing, Rusty Truck Brewing Co., Shattered Oak Brewing, Stickmen Brewing Co., StormBreaker Brewing, Stoup Brewing, Sunriver Brewing Co., Three Mugs Brewing Co., Upright Brewing, Vanguard Brewing Co., Vertigo Brewing,, Wandering Aengus Ciderworks/Anthem Cider, Widmer Brothers Brewing, and Wolf Tree Brewery.
