Two iconic mountains, Mt. Fuji and Mt. Hood, from across the Pacific Ocean will unite 40 breweries, cideries, and distilleries in Portland, Oregon for the return of Fuji to Hood. This festival that has been paused for the past few years, partners beverage makers from Portland’s oldest sister city, Sapporo, Japan with those from Portland, Oregon.
Hosted by Culmination Brewing, Fuji to Hood returns to The Bindery Annex and Culmination Brewing on Saturday, July 16th 2022 from Noon – 9pm. The festival will take place primarily outdoors with an indoor area as well.
Fuji to Hood is a mutual celebration of cultures comprising 18 Oregon and Japanese craft brewery collaborations, 1 cidery collaboration, and 1 distillery collaboration, as well as foods and art. Each partner team came up with a new unique collaboration beverage made in Oregon but using at least one special ingredient from Japan in each recipe.
This all-ages friendly event presents a casual, fun environment, with custom drinkware, Taiko drummers, creative local Japanese food makers, and one-off special beverages. Some of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Japan-American Society of Oregon.
