What's the deal with the GRANDE BEER GARDEN?
For people who appreciate a great value and just want to come hang out in the park while having a delicious frosty cold pint as their beer geek friends try 130 different beers, we created the GBG with that in mind. Full pints are only $3 and you can take them anywhere in the park. Beers featured are Peroni (from Italy) and Pilsner Urquell (from Czech Republic). top

Why do some beers cost more than others?
Part of what makes PIB special is the incredible range of beers we offer, both draft and bottle. The number of tickets a beer costs is based on how much the event paid for that particular beer. Some of them are among the most exspensive beers in the world. Others are medium priced craft beers from breweries in the area. And then there's everything in between.This system alone makes our event a true rarity and enables the consumer to try $40 per bottle beers for just a couple of bucks top

Can I come back the next day if I have extra beer tokens?
Yes. You must have your glass and wristband from the previous day. No exceptions. Beer tickets are good for all 3 days. top

Does PIB accept credit cards or checks?
We are still somewhat “olde school” when it comes to methods of payment. Our event is cash only. We have ATM machines on site. top

What is the appropriate ID to get in?
1) VALID driver's license or photo ID from any state
2) a current passport
3) an Oregon DMV ID card
4.) a military photo ID top

Can I bring my child?
No, but you can bring your dog! top

When do taps shut down?
No beer will be served after 9:40 p.m. on Friday & Saturday, 6:40 on Sunday. The event closes at 10pm Fri/Sat, and 7pm on Sun, so there’s still time to hang out after last call and the end of beer service. top

Is there any food on site?
PIB will offer several food options. Seattle BBQ legend Hot Dog Joe's will have gourmet sausages, dogs, burgers, chicken, brisket, his CRAZY Mac & Cheese, and even some rib-stickin veggie options.
This year we are also proud to offer Portland's highly rated Koi Fusion, a local food truck institution.
And what pairs better with beer than cheese? We will also have artisanal cheese from Mt. Townsend Creamery. top
