Well the Oregon Brewers Festival is back. I won't be going though. I attended the first one back in the late 80's and then every year for about a decade. I stopped going once it just became another carnival. The selections of beer went the way of the up and coming beer drinkers that preferred a nice fruity sweet beer. Raspberry Pilsner, Pineapple Porter, etc... The final straw for me was when the crowd started doing the wave. I wasn't the only one that became disillusioned with the event as attendance had started getting smaller and smaller every year.
$30 for 10 sips of beer these days. Not worth standing around in close to 100°F weather.
Cost: The festival is free and doesn’t require tickets, but to consume beer or cider you must purchase a tasting package for $30 that includes a 2022 souvenir tasting mug and 10 tasting tickets, with more tickets costing $2 each.

There used to be a Spring Brewfest years ago that was held at the Portland Expo Center. That was a really good one. The actual Brewers would staff their booths. It was smaller and had smaller local craft breweries. I don't know what happened to that event.
Actually I found the facebook page. The last event was in 2018. Apparently they were selling the festival for a couple thousand dollars. The website is down. I doubt it will be coming back.
