Oregon Brewers Festival (OBF) is a four-day craft beer festival held annually from 1988 to 2019 and 2022 at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in downtown Portland, Oregon, except in 2020-21 when the COVID-19 pandemic and 2023 when low attendance and hot weather from last year caused it to be cancelled.[1] OBF has become the most popular outdoor beer festival in North America, based on attendance.[3] Each brewery brings one beer.[1][4] The attendance peaked in 2014, however it has been declining since.[5] There is a Root Beer Garden for those who are under 21 or loathe alcohol.

History

Founder of Portland Brewing Co, Art Larrance,[6] launched the Oregon Brewers Festival in July 1988, after visiting Oktoberfest in Munich and wanting to create a similar atmosphere and experience.[7]

Live music was introduced in 2001.[10]

In 2005, OBF expanded from a three-day schedule (Friday to Sunday) to four, adding Thursday.[11]

The 2011 Oregon Brewers Festival featured 85 craft beers from 14 states; it attracted 80,000 people over four days.[12] Nearly 2,000 volunteers worked at the festival, selling tokens and pouring beer, among other tasks.[12]

In 2013, OBF added a fifth day, moving the opening to Wednesday; they also replaced the annual plastic mug, which had been used since the festival's beginning, with a tasting glass, which for 2013 costs $7.[11] For 2014, there are 88 beers available, in 30 styles; that does not include the more than 100 available separately in OBF's Specialty Tent.[13]

After two years with tasting glasses made of glass, for 2015, OBF switched to a polycarbonate tasting glass; the change was in response to safety concerns raised by the Portland Police.[2]

In 2018, OBF changed back to a four-day festival, moving the opening to Thursday. That same year, the festival added two hard ciders to the lineup, and four wines –– 2 red and 2 white –– for the first time in the festival's history.[14]

In 2020 and 2021, the festival went on hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic;[15] although it resumed in 2022, it was cancelled in 2023.[15]

In recent years OBF has anchored a month of beer-related festivals in Portland, including the North American Organic Brewers Festival, the Portland International Beerfest, and the Great American Distillers Festival.[16]
