Nothing sums up the culture and spirit of Portland like local craft beer, bikes and live music. And all of those are coming together at Hopworks Urban Brewery’s BiKETOBEERFEST on Saturday, August 11.
BiKETOBEERFEST is a family-friendly, bike-in Oktoberfest celebrating Portland’s bike culture. The event features 15 organic Hopworks beers, local bands, bicycle-themed entertainment, bike builder demonstrations, BMX stunt riders, a kids’ bouncey house and the famous “Huffy Huck” bike toss competition.

These are slow-paced group rides. Please ensure your bike is in good working order before joining the ride. Helmets are required.
GETTING THERE BY BIKE
Powell is a busy road. Cross with extreme caution at a light. 26th Ave. has a light and you may ride respectfully up the sidewalk to get there. Check out this cool map that a bike+beer fan put together with suggested routes for getting to Hopworks.
Ample unattended bike parking is provided. Bring your lock so you can lock up your bike. Bike parking closes at 10:00pm.
