You like music. You like beer. So we’re bringing the two together—in a way that seems perfectly obvious, but hasn’t really ever been done successfully before.
The first annual Malt Ball is coming on Saturday, March 24, and it’s going to be fantastic—Portland’s very first beer festival that actually has GOOD music. The Malt Ball, brought to you by your pals at the Portland Mercury and the Oregon Brewers Guild, is a full day packed with tons of local breweries offering exclusive beers, and 12 of Portland’s best bands performing onstage. It’s a concert! It’s a beer fest! It’s the damn best time you’ll ever have*.
*FACT.
