It’s the 8th year of Northbank Beer Week and we’ve got 10 days packed full of events on the north bank of the Columbia River!

We’ll kick it all off with a HUGE Kickoff Party at 3Peaks Public House, then look forward to dozens of great events like the ever-competitive Beer Can Derby Races at Ben's Bottle Shop, The New WA Beer Showcase, The Royal Crumble, Paper Airplane Races at Victor-23, Yippe-Ki-Yay Motherpucker Sourfest at Heathen, and we’ll cap off the week with Brewing Bridges Collaboration Festival!

Also, be on the lookout for the the annual mega-collab Official Northbank beer hosted this year by TRAP DOOR! It will be featured at taprooms and breweries all over Washington State and the greater Portland area!
