10th Annual Great American Distillers Festival

10th Annual Great American Distillers Festival

The Great American Distillers Festival returns to Portland this weekend at the Leftbank Annex just north of the Rose Quarter. This 10th annual celebration of craft distilleries from across the nation will take place on Friday, October 24th from 5:00 to 10:00pm and Saturday, October 25th from 4:00 to 10:00pm. There are VIP Tickets that will gain you entry one hour earlier on Saturday beginning at 3:00pm

This festival is a gathering of small distillers from across the country that come to Oregon – the Mecca of craft distilling, to share their products, their passion and their expertise in handcrafting spirits. There will be tastings, seminars, a mixology contest for bartenders and more!

For a decade, the Great American Distillers Festival has created a rare, unique opportunity to experience the innovations of our thriving craft spirits community, while rediscovering some of America’s legendary distillers and blenders. With over 60 booths and several hundred spirits, this is the biggest Great American Distillers Festival that will take place!
