John’s Marketplace Hosts Beloved Féte of Coffee Beers Complimented by Doughnuts

Oregon’s renowned coffee beer and doughnut festival, Baker’s Dozen, returns for its seventh iteration. The event features three things Portland does best: beer, coffee, and doughnuts, each represented by a baker’s dozen artisans. The name is a throwback to when bakers, to thank their customers, would throw in an extra something-something when they purchased one dozen (12) of, say, doughnuts. Attendees suffer no FOMO; admission includes samples of everything including many of the specific coffee roasts featured in the beers. The festival moves to a new venue with a covered patio, John’s Marketplace (3560 SE Powell Blvd.) on Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets are available now for $40 ($50 at the door if available, but note that this event sells out annually) at Merctickets.com/go/BakersDozenFest

This year’s line-up features several breweries new to the event including three nanos. Each beer incorporates a different local roaster’s beans. Beer samples come in three-ounce pours, roasters will be pouring unlimited coffee samples of the cuppajoe used in the beers, and delectable doughnut morsels will be quartered.
