Cheers to Belgian Beers
Saturday May 1st, 2010, Noon – 9:00pm
Hopworks Urban Brewery Upper Parking Lot

A little taste of Bruges heads to Hopworks Urban Brewery as the fourth Portland's Cheers to Belgian Beers festival arrives on Saturday, May 1.  All net proceeds from this year's festival will be donated to Parkinson's Resources of Oregon.

Portland's Cheers to Belgian Beers started four years ago to raise funds for local charities and introduce Oregonians to the breadth of beer styles and flavors brewed in Belgium. All the beers at the festival are made by Oregon breweries using the same yeast strain in a Belgian-inspired manner. A "People's Choice" winner is selected from the more than 30 beers by festival attendees and the winning brewery chooses the charity for next year as well as the yeast strain to be used.

Admission is Free
$5 for tasting goblet which is required to taste
