About

The Portland International Beer-fest (PIB) is an annual festival of beers in Portland, Oregon, and is a three-day long event held around late June and has a sister festival located in Seattle around the same time of year. The PIB is a beneficiary of Pet Cross, a federally registered charity. Each year the beer festivals donate roughly $20,000 to local area animal welfare groups in Portland and Seattle.
