Big Chill '13

It’s that time of year again. Kick off the winter snow season in style at the Big Chill ‘13, a celebration of the best of the Northwest presented by Widmer Brothers Brewing. On Friday, November 22nd, join Widmer Brothers Brewing for an evening of great beer, including Brrr Seasonal Ale, music, art and fashion at Grand Central Restaurant and Bowling Lounge, beginning at 9 p.m.

Check out the latest winter styles in a snowboarding and winter apparel themed fashion show produced by Portland’s Jillian Rabe, LLC featuring looks from: Evo, Mojave, Unheard, and Funsie.

The silent auction is back again this year and benefits Snowdays Foundation, a local non-profit whose mission is to empower Portland metro area youth through snowboarding. Custom winter-themed works of art created by local artists from used snowboards donated by Mt. Hood Meadows will be auctioned and displayed on-site in the artist gallery. Big Chill guests will vote on their favorite works of art and winning artists will receive prizes including Mt. Hood Meadows lift tickets, or a weekend getaway to Sunriver Resort.

Snow-junkies can also get their pictures taken at the Big Chill photo booth, provided by Usnaps, while warming up with a cold pint of Brrr Seasonal Ale.

About Widmer Brothers Brewing
What started as a dream for two ordinary brothers who just loved beer has now become a reality for two ordinary brothers who still just love beer. Kurt and Rob Widmer helped lead the Pacific Northwest craft beer movement in 1984 when, in their 20s, they dreamed of brewing unique interpretations of traditional beer styles. In 1986, Widmer Brothers Brewing introduced the first American-style Hefeweizen; today, the unfiltered cloudy beer is the company’s signature brew and one of the best-selling wheat beers in the country. Based in Portland, Ore., the brewery currently brews a variety of beers including Alchemy Ale, the Rotator IPA series, Pitch Black IPA, Nelson Imperial IPA, a limited edition Brothers’ Reserve Series and a full seasonal lineup.
