Organic Beer Fest

ent breweries. Some of the breweries are certified organic, but most brew a one-off organic batch just for the event. Styles run the gamut from Ambers to Belgians to Wild Ales, with a bit of everything in-between. The event also offers live local music, organic food and sustainability-oriented vendors and non-profits in a beautiful park setting. The Organic Beer Fest is a family friendly event, and minors are welcome with parents. A kids area offers art activities, face painting and a root beer garden with complimentary Crater Lake Soda for minors (and designated drivers). The festival encourages responsible drinking and urges patrons to take advantage of the MAX Light Rail; the Yellow Line Overlook Park Station is adjacent to the festival. Attendees can also take advantage of the Hopworks Bike Corral, where volunteers watch over bikes for free. For more info, visit www.organicbeerfest.org.
