Each year the Northwest Brewing News runs a Readers’ Choice survey asking its audience to vote for their favorite breweries, pubs, bartenders, beers and more. Winning one of these awards is quite prestigious. The public is invited to the Readers’ Choice Awards Reception at the Hale’s Palladium this Sunday, December 4th. Admission is free and the event runs from 1:00 – 5:00.

The Northwest Brewing News is distributed across the entire region, so the Readers’ Choice Awards cover breweries, pubs, and more from Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon and Washington. Last year the awards reception took place at Widmer Brewing in Portland.

The list of last year’s winners is below.
