In Oregon, one way we celebrate July is by proclaiming it Craft Beer Month. Throughout the state, Oregonians and visitors celebrate the burgeoning craft beer scene at sunny summer festivals. And during the last full weekend of July, the Oregon Brewers Festival marks the culmination of the month with a four-day event that draws visitors from all over the world. Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you get the most out of sipping suds at the 29th anniversary of this popular festival.

Buzz Beer Tent
A limited selection of highly-prized brews are available for tasting in the Buzz Beer Tent. Come early, as the tasters here will go quickly. Look for the chalkboard outside the tent.

Look for exhibits by hopgrowers, homebrewers and beer writers. Minors and designated drivers will enjoy the free root beer garden, and everyone can soak up the live music all weekend long.
