Cheers to Belgian Beers is back for its eighth year in 2014. The Belgian-style Ale Festival will feature a single yeast strain for the beers entered, determined by a dart throw to diversify the color and strength of the beers. When Portland’s Cheers to Belgian Beers started in 2007, it was to help introduce Oregonians to the breadth of style and flavors of beers brewed in Belgium. Since 2008, Oregon brewers have won medals in the Belgian-Style or Sour Ale categories every year at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup (that’s seven years in a row for those who are counting). The 2014 Cheers to Belgian Beers currently features 56 beers from 50 brewing companies with more beers expected by the day of the festival.

For the fourth year, the festivities will be at Metalcraft Fabrication, 723 N. Tillamook in Portland, a maker of brewing systems and fermentation tanks for the rapidly growing craft beer industry in Oregon, as well as for craft brewers around the United States. The outside area will be tented and food from Philadelphia’s Steaks & Hoagies and Urban German will be available on Friday and Saturday and food from the Bunk Truck will be available after noon on Saturday. If you need to pick up some official Timbers Army merchandise for the match on Sunday, the No Pity Van will be onsite as well. People are encouraged to take public transportation (the TriMet Bus Line 35 stops 1 block away and the Yellow Max Line stops 2 and 3 blocks away) or ride their bike (we will have bike parking outside for 100+ bikes). Parking is available on the street between Broadway and N. Graham St.
