The Bier Stein to Host its 4th Annual Invitational Beer Fest
Eugene’s beloved taproom and bottle shop, The Bier Stein will host its 4th Annual Invitational Beer Fest on Saturday, June 1st, 2019. Taking place from Noon-8:00pm, the 2019 Invitational will bring together 36 of many of the region’s best breweries and cideries.
In curating the 2019 Invitational Beer Fest, The Bier Stein is securing a wide range of special beers and ciders for the daylong fest. Well over 60 seasonal, one-off, cellared, barrel-aged, and “altered” beers will be the focus of the fest. A brewer or representative from each brewery will be pouring beer from Noon until 3:00pm.
In addition to the beers pouring all day, there will be live music from Pagan Jug Band and Eugene’s own Inner Limits. The music will begin at 1:00pm and continue for the duration of the fest. Performances will be sustainably powered through solar energy, courtesy of Pedal Power.
The Bier Stein’s kitchen and bar will be in operation inside. There will be additional food available inside the festival in the parking lot. Plus, there will be plenty of tent space for shade, tables, and seating. Bring your own water bottle to fill from a convenient water station.
Also, the Invitational will add a dunk tank to the event. A donation of $5.00 to the Cascades Raptor Center gives you 3 chances to dunk your favorite local beerlebrity.
