Join us at McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House for one of our most coveted traditions. Grab a seat in the outdoor heated tent and catch the indie rock of The Coastline while tasting the creativity that 22 different McMenamins Breweries have to offer.

Patrons order from two trays of beer samples, arranged from lightest to darkest. It is our guests' official duty to decide who deserves the coveted title. The beers cover the spectrum of brew styles – from Fruited Sour to Coffee Porter, Jasmine Pale Ale to Double IPA and beyond. Each taster casts one ballot that lists their top three choices. (And beware the brewers' shameless vote-mongering. Don't say we didn't warn you.) We unveil the winners at an event that follows, at the 23^rd Avenue Bottle Shop, where the first place winner receives the trophy, and their name(s) will be stamped into the leather belt that outlines the winners of yore. Come play a part in the tradition of tasting from trays, lodging your vote, and helping us to determine the winner of our most craved prize: the Hillsdale Brewfest Belt.
