Updated June 9, 2014:
For the third year Taplister.com presents Rye Beer Fest. The event is part of Portland Beer Week and takes place on Friday, June 13 at EastBurn (1800 E. Burnside., Portland, OR). This year at the festival there will be more rye beer than ever before. The beer lineup is below.
Rye Beer Fest, dubbed “a celebration of the revival of rye beers,” will offer rye enthusiasts 22 different beer choices. Some of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Dawn to Dusk. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Dawn to Dusk, a program benefiting the Children’s Cancer Association.
In addition to rye beers, there will be rye cocktails and rye-themed food. Admission to the event is free. Prices of beers and cocktails is to be determined. Music will be provided by DJ Rhienna (downstars in the taproom). Live music starts upstairs at 10:00 with Unsafe Dartz.
