Oh please, if I never win another thing from Pipeline, let me win this…I love Portland, love Beer, love this event. Enough said? I could go on…
July 20, 2011 at 16:37
I’d like to attend because I’ve lived in Portland for 5 years and I’ve never been! I feel like I’ve failed this city!
July 20, 2011 at 16:38
Best fun you can have in Portland standing up!
July 20, 2011 at 16:38
I want to win because I LOVE OBF! One of my favorite events in PDX all year!
July 20, 2011 at 16:40
My friend is flying all the way across the country for this! What better way to reward him than with free beer!?!?!
July 20, 2011 at 16:40
I just learned that I have the entire weekend free (was orginally scheduled to work both days), so nothing would be better than enjoying the sunshine and my two free days at the Brewer’s Festival!
July 20, 2011 at 16:41
This looks amazing! I’d love to win this :)
July 20, 2011 at 16:41
Always a must do for the beer lover
July 20, 2011 at 16:45
I want to attend because a year ago I lived in Florida, where people bow down to their Budweiser, and the term “microbrew” might mean a teeny tiny beer.
July 20, 2011 at 16:46
Free beer rocks.
July 20, 2011 at 16:46
Beer.
It makes me sexy & it preserves my youthful appearance.
This elixir of life is a fundamental component to my plans for world domination.
Now who wouldn’t want to grab a little bit of that fame by being able to say: “we gave him those tokens and mugs and that’s where it all started…”?
July 20, 2011 at 16:48
One of my favorite things to do in the summer in PDX!
July 20, 2011 at 16:53
Because my Dad is flying in from Kansas City just to attend!
July 20, 2011 at 16:53
Love Beer. Love the Brew Fest. Love Free Tokens. Hoping for sun.
July 20, 2011 at 16:55
It’s an annual vacation day spent at beerfest!
July 20, 2011 at 16:55
Every year a friend celebrates his birthday at this event, cant think of a better present to give him than beer!
July 20, 2011 at 16:56
dear god, its me emily. i want to win this package so badly! it would be so awesome. so. awesome!
July 20, 2011 at 17:19
Pick me! Pick me! I’d love to go because I’m constantly surprised by the quality and variety of Oregon beer. This would be a fantastic overview of the best our great state has to offer, and an experience I’d remember for a long time.
July 20, 2011 at 17:20
I’ve been really wanting to go to another beer festival since the the organic beer festival!
July 20, 2011 at 17:22
so I woke up this morning and a little birdie told me that Friday July 29 was going to be the most beertastic day ever….and I told that bird to Put a Beer on it….
July 20, 2011 at 17:27
Young, of age, and wanting some beer in my life. Gimmie!
July 20, 2011 at 17:48
New resident to this amazing city so this will be my first ever Oregon Brewers Festival and I am bringing friends!! BEEEEEERRRRR!!!!!
July 20, 2011 at 17:57
Is beer not reason enough?
If not, because I’m awesome and the other 79,999 other attendees are totally going to love getting torn up on the nation’s finest with me.
July 20, 2011 at 18:00
new to portland! i want to do everything and anything and meet all the nice folks that live here. southern hospitality has nothing on portland peeps!
July 20, 2011 at 18:06
I love the OBF!
July 20, 2011 at 18:09
Because it’s always beer:30 in Portland!!
July 20, 2011 at 18:57
I’m not going to lie. I’m a cheapskate. Getting stuff for free and getting drunk are two of my favorite things to do in life.
July 20, 2011 at 19:16
This is my favorite brewfest. I want to go to there!
July 20, 2011 at 20:32
I would like to go to the Oregon Brewers Festival because I looooooooove beer! Yum, yum!
July 20, 2011 at 20:42
My wife is 6 1/2 month pregnant and I have a 1 1/2 year old….need I say more – I could really use a beer!
July 20, 2011 at 20:43
Pick me and make my 7th trip a dream come true!
July 20, 2011 at 21:11
It’s been for years since I have been end the kids are finally old enough now that I can get away to attend.
July 20, 2011 at 21:37
I love beer and I love to have a good time! OBF would be a ton of fun if I could get some free mugs!
July 20, 2011 at 21:40
OBF is such a good time- i love the beer and the atmosphere! I never win anything so some free mugs and beer tickets would make my day! And my boyfriends :)
Pick me!
July 20, 2011 at 22:16
I’ve never been to the Oregon Brewer’s Festival, but would like to go this year. Mostly because I started brewing in the last year and would like to see what others are up to!
July 20, 2011 at 22:28
I would love to go because I have been in Portland for 6 years and I have never been. I LOVE beer. Since moving to Portland I have become very interested in beer – in an afficianado way not alcoholic sort of way. Winning entry to this will probably be the only way I could go to this at this time. Did I mention that I LOVE beer?
July 21, 2011 at 01:33
I missed the last three years. It’s like I’ve never had a beer in my life. I need schooling…
July 21, 2011 at 04:10
LOVE this event! Plan on it year end and year out. It’s incredible what the brewers come up with!
July 21, 2011 at 08:44
I have a friend coming in from the south! She’s never been to the NW OR tried Local Oregon Beer!!!!! This would be so perfect, and I could go down in history as being the best host of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 21, 2011 at 10:00
I would love to win. Winning this on my birthday would be the perfect gift.
July 21, 2011 at 10:40
We consider it an annual tradition!
July 21, 2011 at 10:51
My liver told me this is one event not to miss! I simply must attend.
July 21, 2011 at 10:53
It’s a great Oregon Tradition to celebrate all of the local breweries and they finally have gluten free beers. Hooray!
July 21, 2011 at 10:57
Careful man, there’s a beverage here
July 21, 2011 at 11:03
Going to the Oregon Brewer’s Festival is a tradition. My Dad now flies up every year to attend. So, no question of why to go – gotta go!
July 21, 2011 at 11:23
Beer festivals in Portland make summer complete. This city has turned me on to beer like never before- I didn’t even like beer before I moved here!
July 21, 2011 at 11:28
this is a must go!
July 21, 2011 at 11:54
Beer fits well in my belly.
July 21, 2011 at 12:04
Please pick us! We couldn’t go last time because the festival coincided with our wedding weekend, however we’d love to go this year! ;) Happy Anniversary to us from PDX Pipeline!
July 21, 2011 at 12:05
I have heard such great things about this festival and hope I can go this year! Free tickets would help ;)
July 21, 2011 at 12:06
I continue to love beer, and brewing, and drinkng the beer brewed from said brewing experiments. I would love to go.
July 21, 2011 at 12:30
Beer, its not just for breakfast anymore
July 21, 2011 at 12:42
The OBF is proof that Portland loves us and wants us to be happy!
July 21, 2011 at 12:44
I love beer!
July 21, 2011 at 13:08
Beer makes me smile. And dance. And sometimes, beer makes me think I am talking in a whisper when I am not.
July 21, 2011 at 13:15
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the brewer’s fest, and the last time I was there, I was actually WORKING at the fest. So it’d be nice to win the package and bring some of my hard-working, beer-drinking friends along with me!
July 21, 2011 at 14:55
Beer is good
July 21, 2011 at 15:03
LOVED drinking great local brew while sweating my buns off in the sun last year post-volunteering pours. Would love a repeat!
July 21, 2011 at 15:30
Pick me! Pick me! I love beer!
July 21, 2011 at 15:36
I heart portland and the brewers fest!
July 21, 2011 at 15:46
I’ve lived a sheltered life; starting with, my dad drank only Blitz.
I think it’s time I spread my wings:)
July 21, 2011 at 15:50
Always a good time!
July 21, 2011 at 17:45
Last time I went to a beer fest the tent areas sounded like a chicken farm. Bok bok bok bok bok bok bok bok bok bok bok bo;k bo bokb o kbok bok bok bok bok !!!!!!!!!!!
July 21, 2011 at 18:43
I’ve heard about this fest for yonks. Always a bridesmaid never a bride … pick me and the hops fairy will see to it that you are handily rewarded.
July 22, 2011 at 00:14
Beeeeeer! Pick me, pick me!
July 22, 2011 at 00:19
My favorite event of the summer! This festival highlights the incredibly creative and talented brewers that make this city/state so entertaining and delicious to live in.
July 22, 2011 at 00:21
Would love to win, have some friends that all deserve a great night out on the town in Portland, and lets be honest here, who doesn’t love BEER, especially when it’s free!~
July 22, 2011 at 08:00
I would love a chance to win tix to the beer fest… because the dream of the 90s is alive in Portland!
July 22, 2011 at 08:17
I want to go so that I can keep up on the circuit of beer festivals that portland and surrounding areas have this time of year
July 22, 2011 at 08:54
I want to share this event with my best friend as he is a huge beer fan and has never been because he only recently moved to Portland.
July 22, 2011 at 09:49
I lived in Portland for 2 years and recently moved back to Vancouver. I need any excuse to get to Portland that I can get!!! I know you can feel my pain with our limited beer selections…
July 22, 2011 at 09:50
mmmmmm…. beer. OBF is a great time no matter what. But some free tickets would make it sweeter!
July 22, 2011 at 09:52
This is a yearly must in Portland. Always a good time.
July 22, 2011 at 09:53
Because beer is the lifeblood of champions.
July 22, 2011 at 09:54
I should win because I’m a broke (former) college student. I just graduated with my Master’s of Education and I cannot afford to really enjoy myself at the festival. I LOVE all the amazing local beers including the fruity ones to the extremely hop-filled ones. Ppppplllleeeeaaasssseeee pick me, I deserve it….for the sake of my sanity and for the children! (:
July 22, 2011 at 09:55
I look forward to this every year! I cant wait!
July 22, 2011 at 09:56
Pick me pick me! I’ve been festing Thurs-Sat every year since 2008. I even took Friday off this year in recognition. Dedication is my middle name.
July 22, 2011 at 09:58
OBF gives me the best hangover of the year!
July 22, 2011 at 09:59
This is one of the best events in PORTLAND!! It’s usually a nice, hot summer day and perfect for beer on the waterfront! I have missed this event the last few years since I usually have my daughter and don’t feel this is a child appropriate event. She is with her dad this year and I and would love to win a package and have some grown up time! ;)
July 22, 2011 at 09:59
I would love to get to attend this festival of beer this year. I’m having a rough time lately and have been working as many hours as I possibly can (thankful I’ve got a job in Portland!) but still can’t afford this on my own. Please help!!
July 22, 2011 at 10:00
An annual tradition
July 22, 2011 at 10:01
“I’ve tried ‘em all and it might sound queer, but my favorite drug is a nice cold beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. We love beer!” -Asylum Street Spankers
July 22, 2011 at 10:02
going to the event for the first time. Can’t wait!
July 22, 2011 at 10:03
It will be my first Oregon Brewers Festival and I would love to win tickets! I am a poor, starving, recent college graduate! Give me some lovin’!
July 22, 2011 at 10:03
Great festival. Worthy to attend.
July 22, 2011 at 10:04
This really looks like a lot of fun! Share the Portland love with greater Oregon, we will be in Portland that weekend! We love PDX Pipeline for giving us the low down on what to do while we’re in town. We always take a peek before heading North. I hope we can go to this festival and drink some great Oregon brews!
July 22, 2011 at 10:04
Is it weird to say this is a family event for us?
July 22, 2011 at 10:04
Volunteer every year at OBF, so It’d be nice to go on another day as a patron. Double Mountain approves!
July 22, 2011 at 10:06
I want to go to the Brewer’s Festival because beer is Awesome!!! and I want to get to know Portland better!
July 22, 2011 at 10:06
Buzz Tent Beers, especially Surly 5 and Fifty/Fifty Total Eclipse.
July 22, 2011 at 10:06
I like beer. I like free tickets. So naturally, you should give them to me.
July 22, 2011 at 10:06
Two words. Buzz Tent!
July 22, 2011 at 10:07
I live on, for and by Oregon craft beer, absolutely love this event, and am already planning on walking the parade on Thursday. My new fiance and I would be elated by winning this!
July 22, 2011 at 10:08
I would love to attend because it’s a great event to showcase craft beers! Although it rains a lot in Oregon – we have access so many great BEERS!
July 22, 2011 at 10:08
Because I’m going to be stuck in some G.D. staff development workshops from 10-5 every day of the damn fest!
July 22, 2011 at 10:09
Love the fresh strawberry and blueberry brews! Mmmm!
July 22, 2011 at 10:09
The only thing better than beer is sharing beer with thousands of people!
July 22, 2011 at 10:09
who doesnt want to win? awesome event
July 22, 2011 at 10:10
This is the best time in Portland! Great to meet up with old friends and new!
July 22, 2011 at 10:10
I would love to go because I’m a homebrewer and seeing what’s out there is always sure to inspire and cause me to admire.
July 22, 2011 at 10:10
Beer me please!
July 22, 2011 at 10:11
lets have some fun,meet some people and drink some killer brews!
July 22, 2011 at 10:12
Because Brewfest is the happiest weekend of the year!
July 22, 2011 at 10:13
Good beer and good friends……need I say more.
July 22, 2011 at 10:14
This is one of my favorite events of the summer even when it’s 100 deg! I need cold beer to cool off.
July 22, 2011 at 10:14
Can I upload a pic?? All you’d need to see is my belly to know that I’m a beer aficionado. Pick me!
July 22, 2011 at 10:14
pick me pick me — ill drink for those who cannot make it!
July 22, 2011 at 10:15
It’s not a matter of liking to go, but more a matter of LOVING to go! I attended last year for the first time and fell in love with this event. Drinking some of the best beers near the water front on a hot day always equals unforgettable memories.
July 22, 2011 at 10:17
Portland summer tradition. I would love some free tickets
July 22, 2011 at 10:18
I love the OBF
July 22, 2011 at 10:18
This would not be for me .. But for my husband that works hard, and is a great father …and loves going to OBF but this year money is tight and I would love to say here and let’s enjoy some awesome beer and time together ! (sappy I know)
July 22, 2011 at 10:21
All right, brain. You don’t like me and I don’t like you, but let’s just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. – Homer Simpson
July 22, 2011 at 10:21
Im coming from Medford Oregon to go to this amazing event. My bro and I made this plan on my birthday the 9th of july when there was nothing else going on down here. We are huge IPA fans! The more Hops the better! We can’t wait to taste as many beers as we can in 2 days!!
July 22, 2011 at 10:23
My friends, husband, and I all LOVE the Oregon Brewer’s Festival! We’ve gone every year for the 10 years I’ve lived in Portland, and we love the music, the people, the food, and especially the BEER!!!
Please choose me for the beer package… It won’t go to waste!!! : )
July 22, 2011 at 10:24
To experience the local Oregon beer not found in San Diego!
July 22, 2011 at 10:24
OBF is a tradition in our house it would be so great to be able to go this year and not have to break into the piggy bank! THANKS!
July 22, 2011 at 10:25
1. I like free things.
2. I like beer. Good, delicious beer.
3. This will help me plan our escape from the zombie apocolypse.
4. The last(and only) time I went to OBF I was 9 months pregnant and unable to partake. I am currently not filled with child and would like to experience the glory.
July 22, 2011 at 10:25
Free beer please
July 22, 2011 at 10:27
PLEASE pick me! I’m driving up from Corvallis for it and would LOVE to share this package with all my friends that are going! I’ve never been to the PDX brew fest before and I’m SO excited to go!
July 22, 2011 at 10:27
i’m from chicago and a fan of ‘da bears’ .. and i think all of ‘da bears’ fans are also fans of ‘da beer’ … which totally rocks here in pdx!
July 22, 2011 at 10:28
I would like to drink beer please, kthnx!
July 22, 2011 at 10:28
This will be my second year attending Brewfest. My wonderful boyfriend introduced me last year and it was love at first sip. We are going to be there Saturday with a huge group of friends. Would be awesome to win a free package but we will be there no matter what!
July 22, 2011 at 10:33
My wife and I save all year to attend the beer fests and when we were unable to attend the international fest for unforseen circumstances we were devasted. We would absolutely love to attend the Oregon beer fest!!!
July 22, 2011 at 10:33
Dear PDX Pipeline,
As you probably already know, any self-respecting, Oregon-raised beer drinker attends the OBF…so, I will be attending this year whether I win this package or not. But, I would offer this simple request as someone who plans my summer around this event…pretty pretty pretty please?! Can I please win one of the packages?! Please…I’m begging you!! It would absolutely MAKE my summer, it would even make up for the lack of summer weather. Thank you very much for taking my request into consideration. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience (July 28th?).
Sincerely,
Molly
July 22, 2011 at 10:34
Would love to attend this amazing beer event! I hear this is one of the best weekend’s in PDX! Sip, Sip, Sip…SLAM!
July 22, 2011 at 10:36
As a native of the Northwest and a long-time resident of Portland who had to go all the way to the Bronx for a PhD program last year, I’ve spent the last 10 months being depressed at the beer options on the East Coast (man does not live by Bud, Bud Light, Coors, Coors Light, MGD, and Stella alone), and my startling inability to afford even the most terrible of beers. Basically, I need the elixir of life that is the Oregon Microbrew, and this festival would allow me that elixir.
July 22, 2011 at 10:37
OBF is the best event in Portland! Hands down! When it ended last year on Sunday I got depressed because I realized I had to wait 361 days for the next OBF to come back around (this will be my 11th year). The week before (this week) I start to salivate for beer. The best part of all is the fact I get to sample the best beers in the good old U.S. of A. Laugh with friends, enjoy the sun, eat great food, listen local music and learn new and exciting things about beer and the brewers that make this nectar for gods. I would be honored to attend OBF no matter if I win or not!
July 22, 2011 at 10:37
I’ll be in the Portland area from the eastside of the state for Sock Summit 2011, and I think enjoying some beer while playing with sock yarn is an excellent way to spend the weekend! Thank you for the chance to have a really fabulous weekend!
July 22, 2011 at 10:39
Because we live in Texas and its insanely hot and its an insane state so we need to get to beautiful Portland next weekend for the OBF!!!!!!!
July 22, 2011 at 10:40
My wife and I and two friends come down from the Seattle area every year for the Portland brewfest. We enjoy the beer, the location, and the people watching!!
July 22, 2011 at 10:42
I would love to attend the Brewers Fest next weekend. I am currently stuck on the top of a hill due to a practical joke played by my brother, who is an otter. He thought it would be funny to lead me blindfolded on a trek and promised me that I would find a pot of oatmeal at the end of the journey. As oatmeal is my favorite breakfast (and it was early in the day), I graciously accepted that he take me – sight unseen – to an unknown location. On the way there, my blindfold slipped and I saw that we were walking along the ocean’s edge and a humpback whale leapt from the water and winked in my general direction, which I took as a good sign. However, after three days of walking with little rest and hardly any food or drink, when we finally arrived at the highest point in the land, I was surprised that I had been led there not by my brother, but an ill-tempered ferret that had mistaken me for someone else. Somehow we had all gotten confused and switched around. The ferret put up a small fence around me at the top of the hill, laughed at his mistake, and then scurried away. As he gained distance, all I could hear him mutter was, “the only thing that can save you now is attending the Oregon Brewers Festival with an OBF Beer Package from PDX Pipeline.” So, you see, I really need to win this. The top of the hill is cold and windy and I never even got any oatmeal.
July 22, 2011 at 10:45
i would love to win! this is one of my favorite portland summer festivals!
July 22, 2011 at 10:46
Because nothing is better after a Bacon Maple Bar than a couple of Imperial IPAs.
July 22, 2011 at 10:49
PDX brewers make the best craft beer. Period.
July 22, 2011 at 10:50
Would love to win this package for my fiancee and myself to attend this great beer festival. We both have Saturday off and will be heading down to the area.
July 22, 2011 at 10:51
I moved to Houston two years ago, and this is the first time I’ll be in Portland for the Brewfest since moving. Houston is nice, but has nothing on Oregon and the plethora of brew choices! I need to get my fix before I head back!
July 22, 2011 at 10:52
This is my favorite festival ever. I am going to have to spend way too much of my incredibly small paycheck on this festival.
July 22, 2011 at 10:55
I didn’t think I was going to be able to make it this year but winning this package would make that possible.
July 22, 2011 at 10:58
I won’t beg for free beer! I have killed for it, though.
July 22, 2011 at 10:59
I live in Seattle and I go to OBF every year! It’s my favorite beer festival in the NW and I look forward to it every year. Awesome waterfront location, great people, awesome town and fantastic beer! I love Portland! I didn’t get to go last year because I was denied entry due to an expired driver’s license (though I had a VALID green card on me which they did not accept. After speaking to the OLCC, it’s clear that a green card SHOULD be a valid form of ID as it’s one of the most official documents one can carry as a lawful permanent resident, but it for some reason is ignored and they are forced to obey the law whether it’s comprehensive or not). Needless to say, we pretty much drove down for nothing and felt very disappointed. My girlfriend had not been before and I was looking forward to enjoying the festival with her. It was a beautiful sunny day too. We ended up drinking at various pubs/bars/breweries around town, where they didn’t ask for ID, or if they did, didn’t notice it was expired, or if they noticed it was expired I simply said “does it make me any younger?” to which they replied with a giggle and brought me my beer…even more reason why I love Portland!

I’m coming to Portland from Chicago specifically to attend the beer festival. Although Chicago is improving its microbrew beer availability, it still can’t compete with the pacific northwest. I’m looking forward to trying new beers! My husband has also never been to the festival so I’m excited to show him what it is all about!
July 22, 2011 at 11:03
I sure hope the random winner picker they use randomly picks my comment as a winner!! beer!
July 22, 2011 at 11:03
Year after year this has become one of my favorite summer Portland events. The variety of beers is absolutely mind boggling. Craft brews from Portland and beyond show what an amazing chameleon beer can be. Thats a good chameleon too. Lagers, dunkels, stouts, ambers; they can all be found at this not-to-be-missed festival.
I think I’ll have to bring my camera this year so you have even more pics for next year!
July 22, 2011 at 11:03
I finish my Bar exam (HELL) on Thursday and I have been studying 12 hours a day for 6 weeks! WHY WOULDNT I LIKE TO ATTEND?
I love beer and my girlfriends and I are arriving in PDX first thing Friday morning to commence a weekend of drinking, eating, and music watching!
PS Support your local breweries!
PPS I really need this!
XOXO
July 22, 2011 at 11:04
ooooh, please, please, please, pick me!
July 22, 2011 at 11:06
I love the OBF!! I wasn’t a beer drinker until I actually TRIED beer and these festivals give me a chance to expand my horizons and try out different types! Now I Love Beer! =)
July 22, 2011 at 11:07
I’m a fan of all the beer festivals in Portland, but this is my favorite! I love the beer that is brewed especially and only for obf!
July 22, 2011 at 11:10
Last year was my first time there and my first brew fest ever, and I came all the way from California to go!!!! I had so much fun that we were only going to go saturday and ended up back on sunday! I would love to go again this year! My budget is a little tight right now though because I just moved from California to Washington. Either way I am aiming to be there!!!! :-D*fingers crossed*
July 22, 2011 at 11:12
I moved to Portland just over a year ago. My first big even I went to was OBF, and I LOVED IT!!!! It is what I have been looking forward to since last year’s ended. So PLEASE, pick me!!! :D
July 22, 2011 at 11:12
My friends and I are calling this next week – starting Monday the 25th – The Bender! We are heading to Bend to camp and complete their Bend Ale Trail. Then on Thursday we are heading to the brewers brunch for the Oregon Brewfest and plan to drink the weekend away at the Brewfest. The only thing that would make the week more sweet – winning this package!! We attend the Brewfest every summer and love it!!
July 22, 2011 at 11:17
I’d love to go to the OBF and see how it stands up to the Great Taste of the Midwest!
July 22, 2011 at 11:35
I have only been to this one time and loved it! I would love to go back but am a little short on funds! I’m a single mom who doesn’t get out much. It would be a fun date for my boyfriend and I! : )
July 22, 2011 at 11:44
I LOVE this event, but times are tough. It’s hard to justify the expense, especially when kid stuff takes precedent.
July 22, 2011 at 11:46
Beer is so very near
To my dear heart
I struggle with such fear
That we have grown apart
That is all I have time to write
But don’t deprive me of these tickets
Out of malice or spite
To be left all alone with my crickets
July 22, 2011 at 11:48
fingers crossed!
July 22, 2011 at 11:51
I learned to love beer while stationed in Germany. If I win, it would be the perfect reason to go even though it’s our anniversary weekend.
July 22, 2011 at 11:52
I thought I knew what beer was. And then I moved to Oregon. I am on a mission to try as many native beers as possible and would love to win the tickets on this one. Thanks!
July 22, 2011 at 11:58
Love beer and love the Oregon Brewers Festival!!!
July 22, 2011 at 12:02
Wow, a lot of people want this! I am giving it a shot anyway. This would be AWESOME!!
July 22, 2011 at 12:12
The family is coming out from New Orleans and this would make it possible to take them (and awesome)!
July 22, 2011 at 12:15
Oregon has the best beer brewed in this country period!
July 22, 2011 at 12:21
I’m coming from Sacramento, CA to Brewfest. I had a blast last year that i have to go again this year!! Cant wait!!
July 22, 2011 at 12:25
free.brewfest.please.
July 22, 2011 at 12:48
I’m coming from Phoenix to visit my sister in Portland. I make it a point to attend the Beerfest every summer to get away from the heat (high of 104 today!! ugh) and enjoy some delicious beer and good company! I’m still a poor college student and a free beer pack would save me $20 in students loans (which with interest rates nowadays will be what seems like $100s by the time I can pay that $20 off. lol). Hope you can help make my trip!! :)
July 22, 2011 at 12:49
pick me!! I’ve been looking forward to the brewfest all year and my bank account is trying to make my time not quite as fun!
July 22, 2011 at 12:50
Because it would make my trip up from Arizona (which I make every year just for OBF) even better! Can’t wait to beat the heat with some awesome PDX food and beer!
July 22, 2011 at 12:52
Beers and berries. That’s all I need to make my PDX summer complete.
July 22, 2011 at 12:54
My husband and I go every year it would just make it that much better to go for free! especially when i have to spend time with his mother all weekend!
July 22, 2011 at 13:24
I’m in!
July 22, 2011 at 13:41
Yes, I would love to spend the day having beer for all three meals of the day! I actually bought a ticket, but would like to invites friends to go with and this would allow me to do just that! Thanks.
July 22, 2011 at 13:51
DOugh, the stuff, that buys me beer.
RAY, the guy that sells me beer.
ME, the guy, that drinks the beer.
FAr, the distance to my beer.
SO, I think I’ll have a beer.
LA, la la la la beeeeer.
TEA, no thanks, I’m drinking beer.
That will bring us back to DOh! (my beer needs refilling)
July 22, 2011 at 13:56
Total Happiness…..
July 22, 2011 at 14:00
I love beer!
July 22, 2011 at 14:03
Before moving to Portland 4 years ago, I did not like beer. I thought all beer was like Coors and Bud Lite :P I have found out that beer is wonderful!!!!!! I would love to take my husband with me to the festival this year and try the many great beers offered.
July 22, 2011 at 14:17
I love living here in Portland for almost 2 years now, and I will go to all the festivals eventually!
July 22, 2011 at 14:20
Pretty please? Beer me up Scottie!!!!
July 22, 2011 at 14:22
Need to win this since this year (unlike the past 2 years) I didn’t sign up to volunteer. Please?
July 22, 2011 at 14:34
I was unable to go last year with my boyfriend since my best friend was having a surprise proposal for his (now) fiancee. I would love to be able to treat him but still out of work after nearly 3 years. Please pick me! :^)
July 22, 2011 at 14:41
My husband and I are unemployed and beyond broke! We NEED free beer!!! Also my folks are visiting and this way we can actually take them somewhere and not look so pathetic! Thanks
July 22, 2011 at 14:55
Thursday, July 28th is my 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!! i have been looking forward to spending this epic day, or right of passage into a whole new world, at the Oregon Brewers fest all year long. But what can I say, I am a poor college student!
July 22, 2011 at 14:58
I would love to win this package for my husband, sometimes I think he loves the taste of beer more than he loves me and the kids. lol Here’s to hoping they pick this one for one of the packages. If not hopefully I have better luck next year.
July 22, 2011 at 15:07
I would so love to go! Last Year my now fiance proposed at Brewfest. Seeing as we are paing for a wedding that will be in September we don’t know if we can go this year! If would be so great to go and hang out with the brewer and his friends that heappen to around us when he Proposed. They became GREAT friends of ours!
July 22, 2011 at 15:25
This is the event of the summer. I like to pace myself and take a nap under a shady tree. It is good for what “ales” you!
July 22, 2011 at 15:38
I would love to win the beer package because when I moved to Portland 2 years ago, I was not a beer drinker, but more of a chocolate martini and red wine kind of girl. But when I submerged myself into the Portland culture and tried some delicious local beers like Black Butte Porter and McMenamin’s Terminator Stout, I became a completely changed woman! Now I am an exclusive drinker of dark ales, stouts, and porters, and one hell of a “beer snob” about it! No PBR for me! Gimmie the good stuff!
July 22, 2011 at 15:49
Beer is good, free beer is great!
July 22, 2011 at 16:07
My girlfriend will be up from Southern Oregon, we only see each other once a month.
Enjoying some tasty brew on the Waterfront courtesy of Pipeline would make for an even greater time together.
July 22, 2011 at 16:16
beer and sunshine at the waterfront….bliss!
July 22, 2011 at 16:39
What can I say? If you give me these tickets, I promise to drink and enjoy the hell out of it :)
July 22, 2011 at 16:44
I’ve been going to the OBF for YEARS and I LOVE IT!!! I finally found a man worth my time and he will be with me. This is his first time! His brewer’s fest cherry is finally going to be popped!!! Be gentle….
July 22, 2011 at 17:00
I want to win these tickets so bad! i have some friends coming from out of town for this event, and winning this would definitely kick things off with a bang. I’m super broke and I never win anything! Thanks (crosses fingers)….
July 22, 2011 at 17:09
I would like to win tickets because:
-I loooove the Oregon Brewers Festival! Drinking beer on the waterfront in the sunshine at Brew Fest is what I look forward to ALL YEAR. It’s better than Christmas.
-My boyfriend and I are trying to convince a friend to go so he can meet some ladies! If we have a free glass and tokens, he can’t say no.
-I would send you a handwritten thank you note and/or blog post thank you.
July 22, 2011 at 17:41
I want to win because Portland rocks, brewfest rocks, and pdxpipline rocks. I’m heading out from indiana and my mouth is already watering. Great beer, great people, great weather… who wouldn’t want to be there?
July 22, 2011 at 18:22
Nothing better than celebrating one more great thing about Ptown.
July 22, 2011 at 18:26
I live in Eugene and don’t make it up to Portland very often. I’m heading up on the 30th and staying the night in Portland. I’m going to bored out of my mind while my wife is shopping and would far prefer to be at the Brewer’s Festival enjoying great beer and great tunes while my wife’s spending money.
July 22, 2011 at 19:10
Wellllll, it’s my best friends birthday that day and she loves beer and I don’t have enough for us both :] Also, my whole work crew is going and I’d like to go with them but again, not enough funds for everything. I’m also hoping my Fred Eckhardt will be there so we can hang out for a while.
July 22, 2011 at 19:15
The greatest weekend of the year…every year! I love having my personal xmas in July! Such a fine assortment of spectacular beers. I can’t wait!
July 22, 2011 at 19:19
I just moved here from Utah and would love to attend! Plus it’s almost my 30th Birthday (what a great way to celebrate)! I need a chance to venture out and check out PDX :)
July 23, 2011 at 12:36
I deserve to win because I need to bring my 36 year old daughter, and we need a day of fun in the sun. She has 3 kids and I work from home, and WE NEVER GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! We do our best with the local brewerys (Laurelwood, Bridgeport, etc.)and we truly deserve this little outing if there is any justice in this world.
July 23, 2011 at 14:23
I should win because -
a) Craft beer is one of the reasons I wake up in the morning
b) I haven’t been able to go to the OBF in the last couple of years
c) I’ve accrued a lot of beer-karma over the years through heavy (though responsible) consumption and generous tipping.
July 23, 2011 at 17:12
I moved to Portland from Chicago because of the Brew Fest! Don’t tell my daughter…she thinks I moved here because of her.
July 23, 2011 at 17:13
I love brewfest SO MUCH…its a great time with friends, and a great time to make about a hundred more. Im movin away for a year to do an AmeriCorps program…and this is going to be the last WHOORAH with my Portland micro brew lovers!
July 23, 2011 at 18:11
I love beer! I have not been to a beerfest yet here in Oregon and this one would be perfect. And my lucky number is 202! ha
July 23, 2011 at 21:49
I’ve never been to the Oregon Brewers Festival. I hear its the place to be.
July 24, 2011 at 08:36
First timer! Would love to surprise my hubby with tickets. What better way to say, “I love you”, than with beer!
July 24, 2011 at 09:38
We live in Washington but we love visiting Oregon and drink a lot of Oregon beer. We have been going to the Bite of Oregon for years now but never have made it to the Brewers Festival! Even if we don’t win we will still be there next weekend for our first time! We can’t wait! Oregon beer is the best!
July 24, 2011 at 09:59
I need tickets with wife.. Needs to get away little from 2 toddlers;)
July 24, 2011 at 10:21
I love the OBF it is my favorite thing of the year! Good times with good friends and great beer!
July 24, 2011 at 10:25
trying to make this week better than the last.
July 24, 2011 at 10:30
My favorite summer event!
July 24, 2011 at 10:49
Oregon beer is my reason for living.
July 24, 2011 at 13:09
I want to win, cause I just moved here! This will be my very first Oregon type festival. Show me what life up here is all about!
July 24, 2011 at 18:42
never been before but looking forward to it.
July 24, 2011 at 20:28
I moved here from Hawaii and absolutely LOVE Brewfest! There is nothing else like it, anywhere! A few of my friends from Hawaii and flying up this weekend, just for brewfest. This would be an awesome prize to share with them and help them enjoy this event just as much as I do. :)
July 24, 2011 at 20:59
Wow this is right up my husbands alley! I would love to win these tickets for him!
July 24, 2011 at 23:12
Ahhh! Comment overflow, I still want to win! Because…It’s what makes Potland famous. And, because I love my Belgian style hefeweizens.
July 25, 2011 at 08:07
I love beer
July 25, 2011 at 10:36
I am almost 9 months pregnant and I would loooove to go eat some tasty food! My HUSBAND, however, could use some beer!! Our first baby, a boy, is coming at the end of next month… we are trying to get out and have fun as much as we can before he gets here!! My husband is what some would call a beer snob and he loves to try new brews!! Pick us and give him a night of delicious relaxation!!
July 25, 2011 at 11:39
I’m supposed to paint the house this weekend, but f- it. Brewers Fest sounds much better :)
July 25, 2011 at 11:47
I lived in Oregon and never went. But after hearing so much awesomeness about it, I’m driving down from Seattle for the weekend just to go to the festival!
July 25, 2011 at 13:09
Are you kidding? Why not go?! I have friends coming to stay with me/pass out on my couches from NYC, Kansas City, Dallas, and Hartford. They have no idea what to expect. This isn’t just a great time, but it’s also a reunion. Love this weekend.
July 25, 2011 at 13:19
Without PDXPIPELINE, I wouldn’t know about this Festival since I’m new to town and found Portland AWESOME!
PDXPIPELINE, YOU ROCK!
July 25, 2011 at 13:21
I am going to Portland this Friday to visit the in-laws. Going to OBF would make the visit totally worthwhile!
July 25, 2011 at 20:06
I love beeeeeeer!
July 25, 2011 at 21:41
How much is it to get into the OR Brewers Festival?
July 26, 2011 at 08:19
I’m flying in from Jersey for the 2nd year in a row to attend. I’ll be there, free beer package starter kit or not…..but winning would start the festival off nicely. =)
July 26, 2011 at 08:52
I’ve never been…sounds like a winner!
July 26, 2011 at 11:23
Seven days without beer makes one week (weak). I need strengthening and the package would be a big help.
July 26, 2011 at 11:37
My husband and I LOVE this event. Very babysitter-worthy.
July 26, 2011 at 12:33
I will be going on Thursday! Whoop!
July 26, 2011 at 12:34
Hey look…Randy Fish commented right before me. HOW WEIRD!!!
July 26, 2011 at 12:42
I am beer drinker and I love the taste!
July 26, 2011 at 13:03
Portland beer, my one and only true love. I must try them all and would love your help to do so! <3
July 26, 2011 at 14:03
I recently found out I’m allergic to wheat, but such is my commitment to beer, I’m willing to deal with the sinus infection the next morning!:)
July 26, 2011 at 14:03
i love the oregon brewers fest! i want beer in my belly! help me!
July 26, 2011 at 14:59
One of life’s yearly necessities…attending OBF. However, times are ruff–job’s are few, money is low…but BEER always makes a lady smile!!!!
July 26, 2011 at 16:07
Sweet nectar of life! I’ll be tapping my foot by the gate waiting for the Noon opening Thursday.
July 26, 2011 at 20:17
I’d like to go because I love beer, I love nice weather, and I love drinking beer in nice weather. Plus I’ll give you a Twitter shout-out. Who else can make that kind of offer?!!
July 27, 2011 at 00:01
Because I love beer!
July 27, 2011 at 00:02
Oregon Brewers Festival is the highlight of my summer!
July 27, 2011 at 02:31
I want to win because I LOVE OBF! This is one of my favorite events in Portland all year!
Here’s to a winning entry and a fun festival. Cheers, PDX Pipeline!
July 27, 2011 at 06:26
I always have such an amazing time at the OR Brew fest and can’t wait for another unforgettable year!
July 27, 2011 at 06:41
I would like to attend because I love beer and it would be a great date night for my boyfriend and I. I just recently got him drinking beer (rather than cocktails). He goes out of town for work next week, so it would be great to go!
July 27, 2011 at 13:19
Will be there as part of a bachelor party group. We’re all OBF first timers and free beer can only improve on what should be a great weekend.
July 27, 2011 at 16:42
I like the beer. Would like to drink it all.
July 28, 2011 at 00:09
I would like to win this for my husband who loves and appreciates the hard work that goes into brewing beer! We just had a baby and haven’t had much time together to go out and enjoy something like this!
July 28, 2011 at 09:46
I missed OBF the past 2 years so I’d love to win tickets for this year’s!
July 28, 2011 at 21:47
What is more Oregon than Beer Fest!!!!! Why do I want to win
I Love Oregon , I Love Beer Fest and frankly my dear (s)I love beer :)
July 29, 2011 at 10:18
I would love to go to the beerfest this year!! I haven’t ever gotten the chance to drink at the OBF as last year I was prego and only got to watch my brother and fiance – not fair!! If I were to win tickets it would be a rockin’ time and totally would be making memories!! I am ready to finally go to the OBF and get my drink on!! Please pick me….
July 30, 2011 at 20:05
[...] Portland meets the Willamette River. It took up probably 12 blocks worth, with four blocks for giant tents with tables to keep you cool, four blocks for food, and four more blocks for more beer under the tents. The [...]
