Beers + Babies

 Beers and Babies is a new parents group for caregivers in Portland, OR. Join your community as we gather for a casual afternoon of beer-drinking and baby-admiring with a different kind of Portland beer group. Share your joys, your struggles, and a pint with people who also care for young ones. We're not your mom's new mom's group - we're an inclusive group for parents in Portland who like beer, who like babies of all ages, and who need to get out!

Find us on Facebook! and now on Instagram too!
  • Beers + Babies are casual, inclusive, all-ages events for the whole family. Join our events with your partner(s), friend(s), siblings, older children, etc. Kids' ages typically range from newborn to preschool, but we are friendly to all ages. There are no age requirements - all are welcome.
  • ​** Our events are now all VIRTUAL!! Details to be released by October 1, 2020. **​

Frequently Asked Questions

- Is there an age limit for this group?
No! Federal law requires alcohol consumers to be 21+ but our non-drinking attendees range from newborns to about preschool age, though we have hosted families with teens in the past too (especially when they are helpful with the littles!). We are truly all ages and friendly to families of all types.

- May I bring my brother/grandma/sister's cousin's uncle?
All are welcome! Anyone who enjoys beers... and babies! would feel at home in our group.

- Do you have LGBT/poly/queer families attend?
Yes we do! We welcome families and individuals of all types and identities. We hope you find our group to be a welcoming place.

- How do you drink while having a baby with you?
Many of our members wear their babies on their bodies in a carrier, which helps a lot with space constraints (versus more bulky car seats and strollers). Babywearing also allows you to respond to your baby's cues more swiftly and helps you hear and connect with your baby in a crowded space. We encourage all our attendees to drink responsibly.

- I need help with babywearing, or I don't have a carrier.
We can help! Events are typically hosted by Babywearing Consultants, who are trained in safety and products for baby carrying. Drop us a note in the event if you'd like to borrow a carrier for our social hour!

- Are events really only an hour long?
Not really, we just commit to hosting for an hour in case our kids get restless. Please arrive whenever works for you and stay as long as you like! 

- What do you do at these events?
We hang out and talk to adults!! Walking/toddler/older kids play and everyone has a great time. Sometimes we do activity-focused events too, so check the specific event listing for details.

- Is drinking beer a requirement?
Not at all! Your presence is always valued more than what you're drinking. Our organizers strive to select locations that provide variety for our attendees as much as possible and there is never any judgement. Drink beer, cider, soda, water - whatever! Community is always more important to us than consumption!
