PORTLAND, OR — April 2026 — Great Notion Brewing (GNB), best known for hazy IPAs, culinary-inspired tart ales and keeping beer fun, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an epic party on Saturday, June 27th. We’re talking 40+ beers on tap, a Beastie Boys tribute band, rare barrel-aged releases, food vendors, lawn games, a dirty soda bar for the kids, DJs, the most hype brews we’ve ever made, and more — all under one roof (and a few tents).
“Over a decade ago we released the Pacific Northwest’s first hazy IPA and it changed everything,” says Great Notion CEO, Paul Reiter. “Our community made this brewery what it is. This party is for them. It’s going to be the most fun, most beer-packed, most over-the-top thing we’ve ever done — and we cannot wait.”
The beerlist alone is worth showing up for, not to mention all the NA drinks too! GNB is tapping 40+ beers & NA bevvies for the occasion, including:
10 Barrel-Aged & Special Vintage Pours — heavy-hitting BBA imperial stouts both new & from the cellar that you won’t find anywhere else. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
New Limited-Edition Anniversary Brews — brewed exclusively for this milestone.
Throwback Beers — those beers you’ve been asking GNB to rebrew for years? Some of them are coming back, just for this party!
Beyond the beer, the party features live music from Grand Royale (super dope Beastie Boys tribute band) performing 4–6 PM, plus DJs Ambush and Richie Deez keeping the energy up all day. Rad food vendors will be on-site, along with lawn games, a dirty soda bar for the kids & NA folks, raffle prizes, and limited-edition 10th anniversary merch. New and vintage cans and barrel-aged stouts will be available to take home.
Every ticket sold benefits the Forest Park Conservancy, the nonprofit preserving Forest Park — Portland’s iconic urban forest and GNB’s literal backyard neighbor.
