Saraveza (1004 N Killingsworth), the bottle shop, pasty
purveyor, and beer hall, has been a Midwesterner’s Shangri-la for one full year now. Embraced wholeheartedly by the beer community,
it’s become a kind of sudsy social club for brewers and drinkers alike.
On Saturday, October 17, the North Portland beer joint will be
celebrating a great first year during a full-day event with cake,
bratwurst, a Russian River Consecration toast, and
server-selected taps.
The beloved (pre-cart trend) waffle cart Flavour Spot (N
Lombard between Denver and Greeley; also at the corner of N Fremont and
Mississippi) launches into SPOTfest:09 on Saturday, October 24,
to celebrate their third anniversary. They’ve committed to serving you
free waffles from 9 am to 3 pm (N Mississippi location),
followed by a make-your-own sundae bar, followed by Ms.
Pac-Man tournament finals! All they ask is that you provide a
can of food, a new pair of socks, or an unwrapped toy for charity.
Badass enough to rule the Ms. Pac-Man tourney? Prelims start
Friday, October 16.
