I’ve always wanted to go, but this would give me the motivation to go.
August 2, 2010 at 08:17
I love beer! What can i say? I would love to go to this event because i just moved here from Montana and i’m trying to get out to new places in portland and this would be a great opportunity for me to check part of portland out. Plus who doesn’t love great beer and good food?
August 2, 2010 at 09:28
I’d love to attend because this sounds delicious! And I like beer :)
August 2, 2010 at 09:33
My friend is visiting from the East Coast and she needs a good introduction to beer that is not advertised on television :)
August 2, 2010 at 09:38
Would love to win. Keep hearing about east burn but have never been. It would be fun
August 2, 2010 at 09:43
This would be awesome, I’ve got family from the East Coast coming to town that week too!
August 2, 2010 at 09:58
My husband and I would love to go as our 25th anniversary is on the 18th!
August 2, 2010 at 10:07
I don’t have a beer belly yet. This would be a great opportunity to get one.
August 2, 2010 at 10:07
I’ve never heard of this event, but it sounds great. I generally don’t think of pairing fish courses with beer, and I would love to give it a try.
August 2, 2010 at 10:15
I would like to go because in the recession, I never get to experience a nice date with my beau…and this sounds perfect!!
August 2, 2010 at 10:32
First off I LOVE East Burn! The trinity fries are amazingly yummy. Secondly, our 20th wedding anniversary is the 17th so this would be the perfect way to celebrate. Beer & the best food!!
August 2, 2010 at 10:41
I love food and beer. And most importantly, I love East Burn.
August 2, 2010 at 10:41
I’m a receptionist for a building with about 1,000 assholes. If I win these tickets, I will eat both meals alone and keep to myself.
August 2, 2010 at 12:37
I would love.to go!!!! Plz,plz, plz!
August 2, 2010 at 12:39
I want to win! I love eastburn, and would love to try this new brewery’s beer! And I will finish my meal, the others won’t finish, just pick me please.
August 2, 2010 at 12:40
I would love to take my husband out he’s been dealing with alot and It’s our anniversary.:)
August 2, 2010 at 12:42
This would be a great follow up to my date! Beer and food, inseparable <3
August 2, 2010 at 12:52
Because I love the swing chairs and coloring!!!!!!!!
August 2, 2010 at 12:53
I would love to win! I love East Burn and beer. Also, Ride On is a great organization and if I wasn’t a broke teacher on summer break or knew about this before, I would totally pay to go!
August 2, 2010 at 12:59
I’d love to go because I actually went to East Burn last Friday night, but sadly had to leave after 5 minutes because my friends didn’t think it was “nice enough”. Help me prove them wrong!
August 2, 2010 at 13:13
I’d love to go, bring the SO, walk there (we live so close!), stumble home, sounds perfect.
August 2, 2010 at 13:31
Because I suck at cooking, however I am exceptionally good at eating, drinking, and spreading merriment! The East Burn Beer Belly Dinner is a perfect opportunity to do what I do best!
August 2, 2010 at 13:44
This sounds so amazing and yummy. I am a fairly small layhday (that’s “lady”) but I can pack away the food with shocking dexterity and ease. My boyfriend has nicknamed me “girl with 1000 stomachs.” I promise this will not be wasted on me. Plus East Burn rules. Hard.
August 2, 2010 at 15:13
This is my boyfriend’s birthday! It would be such a treat to surprise him with this (unless he’s reading this now…oh well!). Thanks PDX Pipeline!
August 2, 2010 at 16:02
I should win because I’m trying to learn more about beer and food pairing and would love to see what the chefs @ East Burn can do!
August 2, 2010 at 16:20
As a current grad student with no money and a beautiful wife who stays at home with our nearly one-year-old son, I would love to be able to surprise her with this for what will be our 7th wedding anniversary on Aug. 10th. She loves beer and seafood (as do I) and we’ve been wanting to check out East Burn for a while. Help a poor grad student give the love of his life an anniversary dinner to remember!
August 2, 2010 at 17:01
I would love to take my amazing husband who works 12 hour shifts to support the family and still manages to help me care for my invalid mother, who lives with us. He also loves Oregon beer!
August 2, 2010 at 17:20
So when I met my lady she didn’t like fish. And I was a vegetarian except for I was starting to eat fish again. But we both liked beer. While the beer brought us together (along with some folk songs around a camp fire) we have grown up and together and find we both like pretty much any food as long as it is from a good source. She actually loves seafood now. We skipped out anniversary this year to save some money while she is looking for work so a foodie night out would be much appreciated!
August 3, 2010 at 09:15
YES PLEASE!
August 4, 2010 at 11:35
I’ve never been to one of these dinners and would like to try it out. Not to mention Seafood is my favorite food, and this seems to be a largely seafood dinner this time. But beer paired with food how can you go wrong?
August 5, 2010 at 11:55
I would love to go because halibut cheeks with chickpeas sounds amazing delicious. I also plan on eating food that day and East Burn providing food would work out gracefully.
August 5, 2010 at 11:58
I want to go because: 1) I love good beer 2) I love good food 3) I love East Burn
Pick me :)
August 5, 2010 at 11:58
I’d like to attend because I’m too broke to ever experience a 5 course meal, and I love seafood! Please and thanks!
August 5, 2010 at 12:00
I love beer and food too! Can I go?
August 5, 2010 at 12:08
I haven’t been back to East Burn in over a year, and who doesn’t like beer???
August 5, 2010 at 12:18
They say 1 in 8 Americans go hungry every day. I was sitting here next to 7 of my friends and they all have dinner plans Friday. I don’t.
August 5, 2010 at 12:33
This would be truly an amazing break! I just moved back up to Portland from the SF Bay area. It’s like rediscovering my home all over again and all the great brews this area has to offer. I would never be able to afford something like this on my own, and would love to try some great food, and a new brewery I have yet to taste.
August 5, 2010 at 12:35
I am a big EastBurn fan but can only make in on Tuesday’s for the $2 micros. As a full-time AmeriCorps volunteer, I can never afford to take advantage of the great dining opportunities this city has to offer. I would love to take my partner out for a tasty meal.
August 5, 2010 at 12:36
I should win because I could walk home from there — no residual liability for you guys! (And it would be fun.)
August 5, 2010 at 12:36
On top of that, rideOn is a great and much needed service
August 5, 2010 at 12:44
Best buddy who lives in Austin, TX is in town and (insanely) claims that Austin has better beer and food than Portland (one of his claims: “Portland’s food is famous only because it comes from carts.” Sickening). This would prove him wrong once and for all.
August 5, 2010 at 12:45
It’s been a while since my girlfriend and I gvw gone out on a real date, and this would probably make her cry.
August 5, 2010 at 12:47
because nothing goes better with beer than food… and vice versa.
August 5, 2010 at 13:31
I just saw 2 blacks cats…and crossed their path. That’s gotta mean something, right?
August 5, 2010 at 14:06
As a nano-brewer in training I am so excited to see Vertigo getting a crack at the Beer Belly Dinner at East Burn. Score one for the little guys. I’ve only had one of Vertigo’s offerings so to be able to have 5 and have them all paired with East Burns great cooking….se magnifique
Oh…and….PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME.
August 5, 2010 at 14:07
cause i have a beer belly, why else?
August 5, 2010 at 14:10
I would love to take my birthday twin, who is a chef, out for a night where he isn’t asked to cook and feed everyone ;p
August 5, 2010 at 14:12
This sounds like an amazing event that I would love to experience!
August 5, 2010 at 14:14
I would love to go to this! I love beer and I love food… what’s better than that? I would also love to share in this with my husband who is even a bigger fan of beer and food than I! :)
August 5, 2010 at 14:15
I owe my wife BIG TIME, this would be a good way to re-pay her back!!! thank you!!!
August 5, 2010 at 14:23
I LOVE East Burn…….I have heard of the Beer Belly event before and have never been in town to go!!!! This year I am able!!!!!
August 5, 2010 at 14:26
Tickets for this would be great! My new husband and I haven’t been able to go on a honeymoon because of money being tight. This would be a great way to feel like we’re on vacation without having to leave Portland! Thanks for offering these.
August 5, 2010 at 14:52
Eating and drinking is what I do best. The menu sounds delish! Please let me look forward to this event!
August 5, 2010 at 14:53
This would be the perfect ending to week of job and apartment search. Great dinner and great times with the love of my life.
August 5, 2010 at 14:58
I want to win because my honey loves beer, and we both love food! We love Portland too! :)
August 5, 2010 at 14:59
Love food, love beer, but have trouble pairing the two (usually I just drink beer on an empty stomach).
Maybe I could learn a thing or two about a thing or two!
August 5, 2010 at 15:00
I have been looking for work since a layoff in January. My boyfriend and I would love to go on an actual “date night” date, and we worship good beer, food and patios. This would be so wonderful!!
August 5, 2010 at 15:12
I want to go because that salmon looks freaking amazing, and I’d never be able to afford this on my own.
August 5, 2010 at 15:12
Because I love to eat!
August 5, 2010 at 15:18
I’ve always wanted to try one of these, but was too shy because of the price. It would be amazing if I could experience the dinner.
August 5, 2010 at 15:19
East Burn is the place to be, sunny and warm with cold craft beer all around. I have yet to make beer belly dinner but I am a true beer geek.
August 5, 2010 at 15:21
I bliss out on beer & food pairings, have never been to East Burn and would LOVE to win this, as the combos sound like a perfect summer evening!!!
August 5, 2010 at 15:22
Beer in my belly and dinner on top of that. Sounds like a party to me. This place is one of my favs and has both delicous beer and food. Pick me, pick me!!! :) I’d love to be the winner winner chicken dinner. I would definitely treat my loving boyfriend.
August 5, 2010 at 15:25
I want to go because I just drooled on myself reading that menu.
August 5, 2010 at 15:27
Hello..this sounds delicious and very fun!
August 5, 2010 at 15:29
Maybe I can finally get laid this summer if I take a lady to this affair.
August 5, 2010 at 15:29
i would LOVE to take my husband to this for his 30th birthday.
August 5, 2010 at 15:31
East Burn… one of the many restaurants I have on my list of places to try. How about it… Please!?
August 5, 2010 at 15:31
I love all that East burn has to offer, but good beer from Hillsboro? Prove it.
August 5, 2010 at 15:35
I have to keep up my girlish figure. A full 5-courses would allow me to preserve my lovely lady lumps!
August 5, 2010 at 15:41
Beer and food on the patio at Eastburn, what isn’t to like! Sounds like a fantastic evening :D
August 5, 2010 at 15:41
Yummy!
August 5, 2010 at 15:48
Our family needs a good night out…and what better way to do so ~~ a charitable event!!!
August 5, 2010 at 15:55
My husband and I would enjoy this because we are celebrating our 4th Anniversary this weekend. We started our honeymoon in Portland and liked it so much we moved here. There just aren’t places like this in NE Ohio and it would be great to celebrate not only our love for one another, but our love for this great city.
August 5, 2010 at 15:55
cousins here from new york would love to introduce them to northwest fav brew and show them we can party in porland!
August 5, 2010 at 15:56
I would love me a night out!
August 5, 2010 at 15:56
My beer belly needs some work.
August 5, 2010 at 15:57
I’m working on my beer belly!
August 5, 2010 at 15:58
Usually every night at my house is a Beer Belly Dinner….only because I have a Beer Belly and I eat Dinner. I figured it would be nice to have it somewhere else like East Burns’.
August 5, 2010 at 16:00
oh dang Jaime beat me to it. I also need to celebrate the end of summer term….
August 5, 2010 at 16:11
My life long dream is to win a contest, and I never win anything because I am cursed even though I keep entering and entering…and I want to tell my husband, HA, I finally won.
August 5, 2010 at 16:17
“I’m going to my spin class” said Lucille
“I thought you had Vertigo” said Buster
August 5, 2010 at 16:22
I want to win and add to my beer belly.
August 5, 2010 at 16:27
I would love to win these tickets because eating this bougie-fancy-pants gourmet meal would make the explosive diarrhea that follows much more worth it.
Oh, and it’s my Jewish boyfriend’s birthday and his parents would be horrified to know he was eating seafood with an ex-Catholic on a Thursday.
We’ll probably have crazy hetero-sex afterwards too. Well, after the explosive diarrhea. I’m still a little shy about that stuff.
Thank you. <3
August 5, 2010 at 16:38
I HAVE a beer belly, dangitt! Okay, not really, but I want to go!
August 5, 2010 at 16:41
Here’s to crazy hetero-sex (see last comment)! I would love to go and have the same experience with my girl, minus the explosive diarrhea.
August 5, 2010 at 16:43
These tix would save my relationship! Pls give me this chance!!!
August 5, 2010 at 17:06
I would love to take my friend Laurel for her birthday! Also, the Maine lobster crepes, wild salmon, and white chocloate mousse sound like 3 recipes I need to taste and then try to recreate – yum!
August 5, 2010 at 17:08
Who doesn’t like beer, crepes, halibut and salmon!! Would love a chance at tickets to this!
August 5, 2010 at 17:17
This sounds amazing! My boyfriend and I love beer and great food, and after months of job searching to no avail, we desperately need a break! And seeing as we’re jobless, we definitely couldn’t afford these tickets and would love to win them!
August 5, 2010 at 17:33
Pick Me!!! I love this place!
August 5, 2010 at 17:40
My belly is on the verge of being a beer belly. This is exactly what I need to put me over the edge.
August 5, 2010 at 17:42
Dreams of sav’ry morsels crumbling throw my belly into rumbling,
Rumbling for a mighty feast and amber brews of malted grain!
Grant me, please, oh Pipeline giver, that which make my tongue to quiver,
Plates of gourmet eats and treats and chocolate sweets and lobsters Maine!
Such a banquet makes me wonder, “Will I ever eat again?”
August 5, 2010 at 17:58
When I was seventeen…
I drank some very good beer…
I drank some very good beer I purchased With a fake ID…
My name was Brian McGee I stayed up listening to Queen…
When I was seventeen
August 5, 2010 at 18:32
I don’t want this prize for myself. I would like to win this for my mom whos birthday is August 12. My parents rarly go out due to money issues. So heres to hoping, If I don’t win I’ll figure something out for her day.
August 5, 2010 at 19:48
Your killing me smalls!
August 5, 2010 at 22:46
i’d totally dig this. tried to dig it in the past, just never worked out. hopefully this will!!!
August 6, 2010 at 01:42
I haven’t tried Vertigo before, and my 5th anniversary is the 15th, but the wife and I can’t afford a nice dinner.
August 6, 2010 at 06:29
I’ve been meaning to check out EastBurn, but haven’t made it there yet. This sounds delicious, and like a fantastic way to check it out. Plus, as a Beaverton-dweller, the possibility of finding a great brewery based in Hillsboro is pretty exciting, so I’d love to try Vertigo’s brews as well!
August 6, 2010 at 07:58
Before I took the job I currently have in Dayton, OR(moved here from Des Moines, IA) working for Monrovia Growers, I was accepted into the Art Institute of Chicago for the culinary arts program. My first love is plants, and what better place to move to than Oregon, and my second love is food. Of course, my love of beer is not far behind. What a great chance this would be for me to experience the great food with a northwest twist. Thanks.
August 6, 2010 at 08:27
Beer, beer, beer. I love beer. Here it goes down, down in my belly.
August 6, 2010 at 08:58
Eastburn is my favorite bar to dine at in the entire city. It is bar food done Portland style (Uber Sondvich, do I need to say more?). Also the Beer Belly dinners support RideOn which is a genius non-profit. For a very reasonable price, they will pick you and your car up and drive you both home!
August 6, 2010 at 09:23
I’d love to go because East Burn is a great environment and very chill.
August 6, 2010 at 10:11
I knew there was something I was prepping for this whole summer. I’ve been training hard, eating plenty lately, getting my (beer) belly ready for just such an event.
August 6, 2010 at 11:08
Oh! Oh! This story is so good, it must be fattening! Throat cancer survivor getting re-acquainted with my taste-buds and the pleasures of fish. What a wonderful coming out party.
August 6, 2010 at 11:33
I’d like to win cause I just woke up and am kinda hungry.
August 6, 2010 at 12:00
Beer and dinner this is just too good to pass up.
August 6, 2010 at 12:35
I’d like to win because it just plain sounds delicious. I’m hungry and thirsty just thinking about it!
August 6, 2010 at 12:44
I should win because I’m a tiny chick who can eat and drink like a linebacker. I will make the pipeline proud.
August 6, 2010 at 12:51
Everyone else is lying (especially Jade & Free). I can tell. I’m really the only one here likes good food and beer. Thank you.
August 6, 2010 at 15:33
I’m German and lived in Portland since Sept. last year. No question I love beer… c’mon I’m German. I’m moving to D.C. in 2 weeks and it breaks my heart that I have to live my beloved Rose City. So maybe… this would be our farewell dinner together.
August 7, 2010 at 16:30
I’ve always fantasized of one day drinking delicious craft beer, devouring exquisite seafood dishes, all while swinging in a bird cage. Dreams really do come true! :’ }
August 8, 2010 at 12:18
Mmmmm. Even vanilla porter! My boyfriend’s birthday is on the 17th, mine on the 19th; what a fabulous way to celebrate! We both love beer and food….. What could be better??? Yummm!
Thanks
August 10, 2010 at 18:17
[...] Beer Belly Dinner at East Burn + Win Tickets ($70!) | 5 Courses [...]
August 12, 2010 at 15:24
WWWWWWWWOW!This Be An Amazing Prize that We would REALLY APPRECIATE! :oD
August 12, 2010 at 15:29
Eastburn is my favorite bar. I never miss $2 Tuesday nights. Never been to the beer belly dinner though I would love to. Just a little too expensive for my budget. Vertigo night would be a good one too, they got awesome brews!
August 12, 2010 at 15:30
Sounds like a fantastic opportunity! I need an evening out to enjoy wonderful food in an awesome setting. Unfortunately, I’m unemployed and watching every penny and dining out was the first luxury to go. A girl can dream, can’t she!
August 12, 2010 at 15:31
woohoo…love to go to this…it would cheer me and my sister-in-law up..we are both widows unfortunately before age of 52.
August 12, 2010 at 16:13
Eastburns food and drinks are off the HOOK! Would love to win and share the love with a loved one!
