Hopworks Urban Brewery Handmade Bike & Beer Festival Returns October 3-4

Hopworks Handmade Bike & Beer Fest Postcard

Returning to Hopworks Urban Brewery for its second year is the Handmade Bike & Beer Festival. This event replaced what was once known as Hopworks’ Biketobeerfest and now includes a much larger format including a bicycle show and takes place over two days. The family friendly bicycle and beer festival will take place on Saturday, October 3 from Noon to 9:00pm and on Sunday, October 4 from Noon to 5:00pm.

The Handmade Bike & Beer Festival is also the result of teaming up with the Oregon Bicycle Constructors Association’s (OBCA) Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show and adding this to the already established Biketobeerfest. The result is a weekend-long event featuring the renowned bike frame and parts builders living in our region, and the craft beer industry that makes Portland the best beer city in the country.

This year’s festival will feature over thirty custom bike-frame builders, local handcrafted beer from a variety of breweries, Hopworks’ food specials, and fun and games for all. Activities include the classic Huffy Huck bike-throwing competition, New Birth Break Dancers, Flatlanders BMX stunt crew, and adult-sized trikes.
