The Ultimate Brewer/Chef Pairing Throwdown in Portland
A favorite annual event and perhaps Portland's best beer and food pairing event of them all is this weekend's Snackdown 3D, presented by Gigantic Brewing and Portland Beer Week. This is the ultimate brewer/chef pairing throwdown with ten teams comprised of top breweries and restaurants offering a small plate and beer pairing while competing in a fun WWE wrestling theme with tunes by DJ Rev. Shines. This is a cant miss event for those who have made it before and it's the official closing event of Portland Beer Week.
Tickets are $49 and worth every penny for what amounts to 10 courses and 10 small beers, this doesnt take into account the top notch talent represented here and the great deal of fun and showmanship that goes on. Attendees get to try all the pairings and vote on their favorite or who will receive the Snackdown belt - last year it was Buoy Beer and Danwei Canting. Snackdown 3D!!! is held in The Evergreen Ballroom above Loyal Legion beer hall this Sunday, June 17th from 1-4pm.
