This Oktoberfest style beer festival is held the last weekend in September. Over 36 distinct northwest beers are on tap for a 3-day event held on the riverfront of historic Astoria, Oregon. Festival attendees can purchase a souvenir glass mug which is the official tasting glass for the weekend, and also purchase individual tastes of the various beers. This is a family friendly event with kids activities as well. Named Oregon "Best Beer Festival" by John Foyston - Oregonian, January 2010
