Portland Beer Week year 2 was a lot of fun and brought together brewers and beer lovers near and far. Especially fun was hanging with guys like New Belgium's Eric Salazar, Almanac Brewing's Jesse Friedman, Stone Brewing's Mitch Steele, and Elysian's David Beuhler, to name a few who flew in for the festivities. Also of note was the success of events like the seminar series, with all 5 of them selling out or coming close.
Below are some of my favorite photos from beer week that many highlight the community who came out and supported the events. Cheers to everyone who helped make the 2nd annual Portland Beer Week a success.
