I would love to celebrate Spring with the beer and wine fest! My favorites!
I love this event, it’s the only time I can get my husband to do a wine tasting event with me… cause it’s got beer… and snacks… a win win for guys ;-)
I had a blast at the summer beer festivals, I’d love to see how spring beers compare!
Beer Festivals! What’s not to love!
Spring Beer Fest is always a good time
I always enjoy seeing what foods the vendors pair with the different wines and beers. This sound like a lot of fun!
I’m a Portland native who has never been to this event. Pick me!!
What a great way to kick Spring into high gear…!
beer and food, 2 of my favorite things!
Usually I volunteer at this festival every year. I decided to take a break this time, but would still love to attend and sample all the tasty food & beverages!
Ive been to my share of beer fest but this could be my first wine fest! Ive been meaning to get more into wine and this could be the perfect opportunity!
I blame my love of beer on my parents – I was born in Germany and they used to dip my pacifier in beer. ;)
I love I love this event and would love it even more if I got in for free.
Sounds very interesting and fun. I’d love to win!

Sounds like a good time…. Tickets please!
Mine’s a barley wine :)

I’d love to kick off Spring right, and this would be THE BEST way to do it! I love my hops, and have never been to a festival like this! It would be a great experience- to learn, hang with friends, and enjoy how great Portland is! And of course PDX Pipeline! Drinks and cheese, yes please!!!!
I never do anything fun!! It’s all work, school, kids. HELP!
This will be my fifth year in a row and I don’t ever intend on missing any after this one either. THAT’S why I want to go!

I <3 wine. Thisis a great festival!
I would love to win tickets! We try to go to as many wine/food festivals as possible however with money being tight we have to pick and choose. Beer and wine are the best as I am an avid wine drinker and my hubby loves all kinds of beer.
My husband has YET to go to a beer festival. He probably really needs this at this point… with full time job and full time school. Would be awesome.
Yes please! Sounds like a blast, my wife and I need a date night!
please help me achieve my dream of showing up to easter dinner with a supreme hangover.
I want to go because I’ve gone almost every year but don’t have the $$ this year!

Would love to go to the festival because as I look up to the heaven’s for a ray of hope to shine, there it is in neon,
“Liquor, beer, and wine!”
are there any other food groups?! please help enable my poor habits.
I love to eat and I love to drink.
My baby sister JUST turned 21. I would love to take her to this and introduce her to the wide world of spirits beyond Mike’s Hard.
Already planning to make the trip to PDX for this event, would be great to get these tickets, then I can surprise my hubby with a nice dinner too for Easter!
It’s about time there was a beer festival in this town.
Yes Please!
Need a reason to stay in town for Easter
Beer!
Because wine and cheese are my thing!
Could use some beer after a training run that morning! Beer is a great post run recovery drink!
This is by far my favorite beer festival of the season. Good food, good drinks, good times!
If you don’t pick me then thousands of goats will get goat cancer. Could you live with being responsible for the spread of goat cancer?
Because PDX Pipeline wants to get me drunk!
I would like a big delicious beer please.
I’m moving soon, and this would be the perfect celebration of my Portland experience!
I come from a place where beer & wine tastes identical and apparently they are not suppose to, I would love to collate the two.
This sounds like an awesome way to start spring! Pick me!
Beer + wine + festivals = a happy me!
YES! beer beer beer beer beer. Mmmm hmmm
Hallelujah,
it is finally here, spring has sprung, and it all has begun, grab a glass and fill it with beer!!
I am so ready to taste, to dance and replace my gloom with PDX pride.
Send me to heaven with a festival pass and I won’t be mad that I died!!!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaze
I want to hang out with friends while enjoying good beer, good food, and good times.
I mark the changing of the seasons in Portland by which beer festival is commencing, and its been a long, cold winter of discontent. Spring has sprung not a moment too soon, sipping IPA’s amongst the daffodils will bring my friends and I great joy to carry through out the year!
I promise not to leave a sooty aftertaste
I want to win the tickets because I promise not to laugh and have beer and wine come out my nose.
I just wanna have fun! Thanks!
Love the math verification! Pick me please!
My neighbor is getting married this weekend and this would be a great gift to give them the following weekend to keep the celebration going
This would be a great little birthday surprise for my girlfriend!
Escaping grey gloomy Vancouver BC to have a good time in beautiful PDX March 29. What better reception to your glorious burg than a gift ticket package to sample local fare – beer, wine, and spirits. Keeping our fingers crossed and counting the days till we arrive.
What’s my favorite whine? Aww, I never get free beer! What? it’s WINE? Oh.
I started home brewing 3 months ago I’m so hooked on craft beer it’s sick. My partners and I NEED THIS.
The first and only time I went to this beer festival was in 2007 for the 13th annual beer & wine festival with my parents when I was a total beer festival noob. Please let this be a luckier year for me by letting me go again by my own unattended, beer festival-knowledgable adult self.
The kids at my school have been running me ragged! I could use some grown up spring break goodness!
Great beer + great Gouda = great times ! Spring fest hands down trumps summer fest !
A beer festival
and potential free tickets.
This Portlander’s dream.
my wife’s birthday is coming up and we are broke
Please, oh please, oh please!! We look forward to this event every year and something always gets in the way of our being able to afford to go. Please give us the chance to have an actual date and a much needed thing to look forward to!
I only get a weekend off every six weeks and I would love to get out this spring and enjoy all the food and wine this festival has to offer.
Thanks<3
I want to talk to real wine makers about how to make a great wine! And taste some too!

Love beers. Would love to take my friend there
Hard boiled eggs from Easter, and beer from the spring feast. What a combo!
Please! I’d love to go with my fiancé.
Never been to one of these and it’s on my day off!!
Hooray for beer!!!
because spring has sprung and i’d love some spring beer.
I would like to attend this festival because I’ve never been, and it’s cool that kids are allowed. Thanks.
Spring Fest = #1 Fest. Seriously, why don’t more people know about this two day spectacle? Delicious beer with delicious friends. Wait, that didn’t come out right. Someone show me the IPA! If selected from this distinguished group of commenteers, I will make a personal commitment to try all 18 of the IPA’s at the Fest (yes, I counted), and BLOG about it. You won’t be sorry PDX.
Love festivals. Great beer, great food, great people.
Yes please! My kind of weekend for sure!
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a full blown addict to the cheese and wine pair… No pressure, but if I don’t win, desperation may take over. This town has enough of that already
This would be a wonderful to look forward too :)
This would be a fun way to start Spring!
My hubby is a huge beer fanatic and I prefer wine! This would be a perfect event for us! Please pick us:o)
Please pick me, I LOVE beer!
The perfect anniversary gift for my boyfriend and I! Please pick me!
Spring into beer festivas with the mother of all! Can’t wait to see the line up ; }
My husband and I will be staying In Portland next weekend to celebrate his birthday. How wonderful would it be to attend the beer and wine festival to celebrate! Fingers crossed!
Granny wants to hob nob with the wine crowd!
Eye Heart Beer!!
I have exactly 6 weeks to convince my east coast friend why Portland is the best place on earth. This would help!
Fun! Beer & Wine=good time for all
My designated driver is my plus one. I think I’ll keep her.
TOOT! Love the local brews!
I moved here from Utah 3 years ago and The Beer and Wine festival was the first Portland event that I attended. It is now a tradition not to be missed. I would be honored to attend for free! Pick me!
It’s a family tradition! Look forward to it every year!
Beer + Wine = Happy Belly
Just had a 3 & 1/2 year relationship end. Free tickets to this would be a great way to cheer me up!
I would love to go because it is the perfect festival to start the beer festival season out right! Beer, cheese, food, and great music. It can’t get anymore Portland than that :)
Would love to check this out!
I am really looking forward to drinking some tasty beer and listening to the Polyrhythmics!
I just launched Sip! South Willamette – an online community for wineries, distilleries and breweries and would LOVE to attend and meet & greet all the amazing vendors. Cheers!
Friday happens to be my first day off since the New Year.
Beer and wine in spring. Sounds lovely. Can’t wait.
I have been to the Spring Beer and Wine fest for the past 5 years and don’t plan to miss it this year! This is the ONLY festival I go to and winning tickets is the only thing that would make it even better.
I would love to wine tickets to the Beer & Wine Festival!!! Please pick us!! This is one of the only weekends my husband and I both have off and this would make it that much better!! Praying you pick us!!! :)
HAPPINESS IS: KEEPING CALM… with a pint of lager in one hand, a glass of Shiraz in the other, and some fine Oregon chevre on my tastebuds! Plus, I hear beer’s been helping people get laid since 1842, which is the *main* reason I’d like to attend, so please send me :)
Honestly, the beer fest is one of the few that I can actually go to with my wife because she has celiac disease and she can’t drink regular beer. With several ciders, wine and GF beer, it’s a huge favorite for us to go to annually, and I’d love to be able to attend with her.
This one of the few festivals I have not had a chance to attend since moving to Portland 3 yrs ago.
Tour of cheese! ‘Nuff said.
The economy has caused me to drink less. . .please I must have those tickets before I am stricken with sobriety!
Can’t wait!!
It would be a great way to start off Spring in P town. Beside how else is one to try all of the best in spot fabulous beer, devine wine, spunky spirits and ohhh the cheeeese :-)
Because my name is Prince. And I am funky. And I haven’t won anything in a LONG time. And I love beer. And I bring good Karma. And my psychic said I would win. And I need a break from my dog.
Pick me!! Pick me!!!
Perfect for an afternoon catching up with a friend!
Have never been and I love great food and local brews! =)

This sounds amazing. I am new to the area and would love to experience this but I am very, very broke. FREE TICKETS!!
I would love to experience this fest for free. Especially since I am miserably unemployed.
I could never have a negative thought about something like this. Nom nom.
I suppose it’s time to leave the house now; winter is over.
Moved here 2 years ago, have yet to go to a beer and/or wine festival.

Beer (for my wife), Wine (for all y’all) and Whiskey (for me-Me-ME!) and March Madness for all of us Duck Fans. What more could we ask for, other than a win over Louisville watched on the Big Screen while partaking of the 19th Annual Spring Beer & Wine Fest at the Oregon Convention Center. Go Ducks, Indeed!

I just moved back to Portland after 10 long years away and I can’t wait to go this weekend and see what I have been missing! The east coast beer choices are (generally) so sad.

This sounds like the most delicious event!!

I am wanting to try some new beers, I’ve gotten stuck in a rut of the same ones over and over again. This would be a good way to sample some new, good stuff.
First time on PDX Pipeline. Wonderful site! Had to download the App. Excited about beer and wine festival. Would love a pair of ticket for me and my friend who is in town from the Korea. ;)
Going to check out your app. Would love to get out for the beer and wine festival.
This is always an amazing time. Can’t wait to go!
It sounds like a good time and I have never been to one of these beer/wine/cheese tasting festivals before. So, it would be a fun way to learn more and add to my experience.
