Zwickelmania

Zwickelmania®, an annual celebration of craft beer organized by The Oregon Brewers Guild, will bring together the community in new ways in 2025. Named after the “zwickel,” a German word for the sample port found on fermentation vessels, more than 50 breweries from all areas of the state are participating in Zwickelmania. Oregonians are encouraged to support their local pub or visit a participating brewery that is new to them on February 22. Craft beer enthusiasts can expect samples directly from the zwickel, beer releases, tours, meet-the-brewer opportunities, educational talks, food and beer pairings, specials, NA beverages for designated drivers and more! In Portland, there is a free shuttle making stops at more than a dozen breweries. Enjoy this free, non-ticketed event responsibly.
