Oregon Otter Beer Festival
A Celebration of Ocean Conservation and Craft Brews!
2025 Oregon Otter Beer (+More!) Festival
Presented by: Elakha Alliance & The Oregon Zoo
Mark your calendars for the Elakha Alliance’s largest fundraiser of the year on April 12, 2025! This otter-ly exciting event will celebrate Oregon’s vibrant craft beverage scene while supporting our mission to bring sea otters back to the coast and restore a thriving marine ecosystem.
In 2024, we raised over $36,000 to aid sea otter conservation—and we’re ready to make an even bigger splash in 2025!
This year’s festival isn’t just about beer—it’s a full celebration of Oregon’s diverse beverage artistry. Alongside breweries crafting special sea otter-themed beers with Maris Otter Malt, guests can enjoy wine, cider, sake, and spirits from local producers. Indulge in delicious drinks, cast your vote for your favorite creation, and cheer on a panel of expert judges as they crown the best otter-inspired beverages.
The evening will also feature:
- Engaging talks and Elakha trivia to highlight the importance of restoring Oregon’s sea otter population and its impact on marine ecosystems.
- Tasty gourmet eats, from wood-fired pizzas to delectable desserts.
- Live music to keep the atmosphere lively and fun.
- Exciting raffle and silent auction offering local artwork, unique gift packages, and outdoor adventure experiences from PNW businesses.
The Elakha Alliance, founded by tribal and conservation leaders, is dedicated to restoring sea otters to Oregon’s coast while creating a more resilient marine environment. Your participation in this fundraiser helps raise awareness and funds for this critical mission.
Come sip, sample, and celebrate with us—all for a great cause! For more information or to join as a sponsor or participant, email Chanel@ElakhaAlliance.org.
