L.A. or other locales may be tired of hearing about how great Portland and their beer scene is but I am afraid to have to rub it in some more as it was recently announced that a new beer and culture festival, MXPDX is coming to the Rose City on July 19th.

The goal is to intertwine both Mexico and Oregon craft cultures and communities in Portland (this year and in Mexico in 2026) for this inaugural party. 13 central Mexico breweries will be sending beer and also brewing collaborations with Oregon brewers and cidermakers.
