The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Come together at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI) in Portland for an evening dedicated to fundraising for ocean conservation through delicious sea otter-themed craft beer tastings. This event is hosted by the Elakha Alliance, Oregon Zoo, and Straightaway Cocktails.

12 local Oregon breweries have embraced Elakha’s beer challenge, taking on the task of crafting a ‘sea otter-themed’ beer utilizing Maris Otter Malt. Each brewery is dedicated to contributing a portion of their otter beer sales to the cause.  Indulge in the experience by sipping, sampling, and casting your vote for your favorite otter-inspired brew, while a panel of fantastic judges will determine the ultimate otter-beer titles. This year, attendees can also enjoy wine, sake, cider, and spirit tastings too.

All evening long, guests can enjoy gourmet pizzas, appetizers, and decadent desserts. DJ Bryson Wallace (from KHMD) will be setting the vibe with funky vinyl beats. Plus, add to the excitement by entering the Door Prize Raffle, Premium Raffle, and Elakha Trivia Raffle for a chance to win local artwork, curated gift packages, and unforgettable outdoor adventures from PNW businesses.

The festival will take place indoors with limited capacity. The event will be for individuals 21+.
