It features three things Portland does best: beer\, coffee\, and doughnuts. Portland is home to several dozen craft breweries and independent roasters so the marriage of the two made in hoppy\, caffeinated heaven. Those results then pair sublimely with doughnuts. Mix’n’match; no single coffee beer is designed to complement any particular doughnut. The festival again takes place at Culmination Brewing Co. with assistance from neighbors Oregon Mead & Cider (2117 NE Oregon St.). \nNew this year\, the fest will occur over two sessions on Saturday\, March 11\, first from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. Last year the event sold out in advance and tickets are limited to 700 (to ensure attendees can sample everything) and are available for $27 ($30 at the door if available) at Merctickets.com/go/BakersDozenPDX \n  \nPaid admission includes samples of every unique coffee-infused beer and delectable doughnut morsel (most will be quartered). Each beer incorporates a different local roaster’s beans.

The ninth annual weekend of local feasting and drinking includes POP! Bubbles & Seafood (Friday\, Feb. 24)\, COMFORT (Saturday\, Feb. 25) and the ever-popular Grand Tasting (Sunday\, Feb. 26). Seattle magazine acquired the event in September and will continue to partner with Peha Promotions for creative direction and promotion of the events. \nUnder Seattle magazine’s ownership\, the footprint of the event will grow to reach a wider audience and showcase the city through its incredible food and beverage scene. Founded in 2009\, Seattle magazine added POP!\, a pre-Grand Tasting event in 2013 to showcase our city’s legendary seafood and growing number of sparkling and wine producers. This year\, a new Saturday night event\, Comfort!\, will serve up the best of our region’s perfect-for-winter fried chicken and other comfort foods\, as well as beer and cider. “Seattle magazine is celebrating 50 years\, and a big part of the magazine focuses on this region’s dynamic food and beverage scene\,” says editor Rachel Hart. “This event gives us a great platform to tell that story to our audience in person.”  \n“The Seattle Wine and Food Experience curates an incredible list of makers and producers and supports the community\,” adds Jamie Peha\, executive producer and president of Peha Promotions\, who has been running the event since 2010. “More than 600 wines are available for tasting throughout the weekend along with a huge selection of breweries\, ciders and distilleries. And with three event offerings at a variety of price options guests can attend just one event or splurge and enjoy the whole weekend.” \nThe three days of feasting each offer unique experiences. Held at the glamorous McCaw Hall on Friday\, February 24\, Pop! Bubbles & Seafood highlights Pacific Northwest seafood for a one-of-a kind Seattle experience. Top culinary talent will prepare delicious bites of fresh and sustainable seafood from the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute\, Triad Fisheries and other local seafood companies.Oysters presented by Taylor Shellfish bring that extra panache to an already mouth-watering event. It’s a night to enjoy more than 30 sparkling wines from around the world including: West Coast sparkling wines\, Spanish Cava\, Champagne and Italian Proseccoplus seafood-friendly white wines. Reserve red wines\, the Callebaut Chocolate Lounge and a Celebrity Saber-Off competition top off the evening.  \nMake your way to Fremont Foundry for the weekend’s NEWEST addition\, Comfort! on Saturday\, February 25. Cozy up with Seattle’s best feel-good foods and crafty brews from mac and cheese to burgers\, beer\, cider\, hot toddies and more! Indulge on sweet and savory bites from local gastropubs and taverns while sipping on a diverse array of craft beverages. Tasty features include the Bloody Mary station\, a Hot Toddy bar and the new Fry Bar\, where Washington State Potatoes are fried up to crispy goodness and dressed up at the condiment bar. \nThe epicurean Seattle Wine and Food Experience Grand Tasting event returns to the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall to wrap up the weekend on Sunday\, February 26. The largest of the three events\, the Grand Tasting\, as such food festivals go\, is approachable and a great value.

This year\, a new Saturday night event\, Comfort!\, will serve up the best of our region’s perfect-for-winter fried chicken and other comfort foods\, as well as beer and cider. “Seattle magazine is celebrating 50 years\, and a big part of the magazine focuses on this region’s dynamic food and beverage scene\,” says editor Rachel Hart. “This event gives us a great platform to tell that story to our audience in person.”  \n“The Seattle Wine and Food Experience curates an incredible list of makers and producers and supports the community\,” adds Jamie Peha\, executive producer and president of Peha Promotions\, who has been running the event since 2010. “More than 600 wines are available for tasting throughout the weekend along with a huge selection of breweries\, ciders and distilleries. And with three event offerings at a variety of price options guests can attend just one event or splurge and enjoy the whole weekend.” \nThe three days of feasting each offer unique experiences. Held at the glamorous McCaw Hall on Friday\, February 24\, Pop! Bubbles & Seafood highlights Pacific Northwest seafood for a one-of-a kind Seattle experience. Top culinary talent will prepare delicious bites of fresh and sustainable seafood from the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute\, Triad Fisheries and other local seafood companies.Oysters presented by Taylor Shellfish bring that extra panache to an already mouth-watering event. It’s a night to enjoy more than 30 sparkling wines from around the world including: West Coast sparkling wines\, Spanish Cava\, Champagne and Italian Proseccoplus seafood-friendly white wines. Reserve red wines\, the Callebaut Chocolate Lounge and a Celebrity Saber-Off competition top off the evening.  \nMake your way to Fremont Foundry for the weekend’s NEWEST addition\, Comfort! on Saturday\, February 25. Cozy up with Seattle’s best feel-good foods and crafty brews from mac and cheese to burgers\, beer\, cider\, hot toddies and more!
