Portland International Airport is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the now-iconic Clocktower in the shop and amenity-filled pre-secrurity area of the airport. And that means lots of fun – and free stuff – for travelers, meeters and greeters and anyone who knows what a pleasant area that pre-security space can be.
Coming up Friday, June 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 pm, the plaza will be transformed into a beer garden with more than a dozen craft beers available for tasting. The event also celebrates the grand opening of Deschutes Brewery at PDX – the beermaker’s first location opening in Oregon in 10 years.
As part of the brewfest, attendees will be able to pick up a limited edition Clocktower 30 pin, which is one of four special pin designs travelers can collect this summer.
Can’t make it to the brewfest? PDX has many other events coming up throughout the summer. See the full schedule here.
While you’re there, enter the Clocktower contest which has as its prize a “Magic Coast of Oregon”-inspired package (valued at nearly $5,000) that includes five nights at the King Suite at the Cannery Pier Hotel in Astoria, OR, a sunset cruise for two, a zipline adventure with Highlife Adventures, a helicopter tour, several other activities plus multiple gift cards and a Pendleton luggage set and blanket. Deadline is September 9, 2018. Enter here.
I used to live on the Oregon coast and can attest to the fact that is indeed a magical place.
