Día De Los Muertos Festival De Cervezas: All Souls Day Beer Festival

Portland, OR – On November 1st from 1-9 PM, Bazi Bierbrasserie (1522 SE 32nd Ave) and Imperial Bottleshop (3090 SE Division St) are joining forces to co-host the 2nd Annual autumn beer event, Día De Los Muertos Festival De Cervezas (All Souls Day Beer Festival).
As leaves fall to the ground, mankind throughout time has understood that nature’s cycles are mirrored in our lives. Autumn is a time to let go of the past and let death pave the way for new life. In that tradition, Día de los Muertos, celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, and activities the dead enjoyed in life… and who doesn’t enjoy great beer!

The Día De Los Muertos Festival De Cervezas will take place concurrently at both locations offering festival goers the opportunity to walk less than half mile between the two and experience an eclectic mix of 20+ death-themed beers and ciders, face painting and live music. Beers named after the dead, and Mexican-influenced beers that pay homage to the country of the holiday’s origin.

While close in proximity, the two bars are far apart in their approach to beer. Bazi features Belgian-inspired beers from near and far, and Imperial focuses on local American craft beer.

The beer lineup includes:
Boneyard Diablo Rojo
Silver Mooo Voodoo ISR
Birrificio Montegioco Demon Hunter
