About FredFest

What started as a small surprise 80th birthday party for world-renowned beer writer Fred Eckhardt is coming back around in its ninth year as one of the most anticipated beer events of the year.

Attendees will be treated not only to a rare assortment of hand-selected beers, but also light fare cooked in and with beer and of course birthday cake and a round of "Happy Birthday", just for Fred. Cheeses, chocolate, candy and even cereal will be offered in abundance so attendees can experience some of Fred's famed beer-and-food pairings.

Now begs that timeless question...What Would Fred Drink? (WWFD?)

Here's also the current information from the HOTD website, where the event takes place:

This year's charity is the Oregon Zoo Foundation. We are building a fund in remembrance of Michael Olsen, a Hair of the Dog employee who was shot and killed on the streets of Portland last year

Our goal is to provide scholarships for kids to go to summer camps at the Zoo, hoping to instill a love of animals and nature in them, just like Mikey had

100% of FredFest ticket sales go to our charity, Hair of the Dog covers all expenses for the event, so we encourage you to pay more than the suggested ticket price.

Some of this year's beers include: •Crooked Stave - Port Barrel Aged Nightmare on Brett
•Firestone Walker - Stickee Monkee
•Chuckanut - Kolsch & Dunkel
•Three Floyds - Big Tiddy Assassin
•The Bruery - Ould Tart w/ Cherries & Freckle
•Alesmith - Old Ale & Speedway Stout
