Hopsheads and cider aficionados, take note. The 9th annual SheBrew festival is gearing up to bring a sudsy celebration of female talent to Portland this Sunday. Join the communal tipple at The Redd in southeast Portland from the civilized hours of 12-7 p.m., where over 45 professional female brewers and a cadre of 10 homebrewers are set to pour their heart into every glass for an expected throng of a thousand-plus attendees.
In a probably to be jam-packed event, festival-goers have the chance to taste their way through 50+ beers, ciders, and the likes while supporting the women who are steadily chipping away at the male-dominated brewery industry. According to the NewSchool Beer, ticket holders can expect to enjoy everything from gluten-free beers to non-alcoholic brews, and aren't to forget the hop waters, wine spritzes, and more.
Don't worry, you won't break the bank for a day of fun at the festival. General admission is $30 online or $35 at the door, including a commemorative glass, sample tickets, a vote in the homebrews competition, and a Human Rights Campaign membership. VIP passes for $65 offer early access and ten raffle tickets.
For a bash that started with 10 homebrewers and barely enough guests to fill a dive bar, SheBrew has turned into quote "a testament to the efforts of the brewers and their community," unquote, according to OregonLive. This shindig is definitely to not disappoint with two sessions planned to make room for an anticipated record crowd of 1,500. Get ready to elbow up to the bar among over 50 female-professing professional brewers who are unquestionably to ready to show you what they got.
SheBrew has got food, too – you'll need something to soak up all that booze, after all. Expect female-owned food carts and vendors right alongside the brews, so you can keep going back for another pour without fear of keeling over. Circle Sunday on your calendar, and if you haven't already gotten your hands on a ticket, what are you waiting for?
