From Portland Beer Week:

PDX Beer Week & Gigantic Brewing Company present SNACKDOWN VI: SNACKING NEVER DIES! on Father's Day, Sunday June 16th at The Evergreen event space above Loyal Legion. SNACKDOWN! is a fun and entertaining food and beer pairing event where 8 of Portland's best Chefs and 8 Oregon Brewers are paired into 8 Brewer/Chef teams to make their greatest snack and beer pairing. Guests will choose their favorite pairing and the winners will be awarded the SNACKDOWN Belt!


This event is designed to be more fun and loose than your standard beer dinner, with the high end and creative pairings you would expect at a private chef's counter only a lot more playful. Imagine a WWF style Smackdown with brewers and chefs hyping their pairing on the mic - possibly while sporting wrestling themed costumes, like luchador masks, spandex, capes, and tassels! DJ Big Time Slade will be on the decks keeping the party alive. $49 includes all 8 small plates and 8 x 5oz beer pours.

The event is a wrestling theme, and you are invited to get into it and dress up for the event. The more ridiculous the better. We also have a pumping up the party and old WWF wrestling footage on the projector. The event is a ridiculous amount of fun. Also, all proceeds after expenses from Snackdown go to charity P:ear who build positive relationships with homeless youth through education, art, recreation adn job training to affirm personal worth and create more meaningful and healthier leives.
