Welcome to the 2019 Holiday Ale Festival!

Each year the Holiday Ale Festival teams up with dozens of breweries to procure exclusive beers for a joyous five-day celebration. As a result, this quintessential Portland event has earned a reputation as the premier outdoor winter beer tasting venue on the West Coast.

Held in the heart of downtown Portland, the Holiday Ale Festival keeps attendees warm and dry under a large clear top tent that covers Pioneer Courthouse Square while allowing for views of the city lights. Gas heaters create a cozy ambience under the boughs of one of the region's largest decorated Christmas trees.

More than 50 breweries are featured at this year's event, all of which are bringing beers created to bring joy to all the beer fans. These aren't beers you'll find in the supermarket - the brewers have put together special recipes, collaborations and blends just for their fans and will be releasing them at the Holiday Ale Festival. From Belgians and barrel aged creations or Ciders, IPA's and Hazy's or Stouts and Sours, these beers are often the result of long term planning and showcase the creative prowess of the brewers, which means you are assured to get something new and exciting to try!

From December 4th through December 8th, 2019, make plans to come meet up with some friends and share in the tasting of these exclusive beers and celebrate the season. We look forward to seeing you all at the Holiday Ale Festival...Cheers!
