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. 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!
  • Beers + Babies are casual,  inclusive, all-ages events for the whole family. We usually meet for about an hour (or as long as our kids let us! Typically people stay no more than two hours).
  • FREE, just buy your own beer and snacks. Only our Special Events sometimes have minimal fees to cover expenses (like art supplies for Family Craft Night events).
  • Bring your baby, baby carrier, partner(s), friend(s), siblings, older children, etc. There are no age requirements - all are welcome.
  • ​**Due to space constraints and the size of our group, please consider baby wearing instead of bringing strollers/car seats if at all possible. A Certified Babywearing Consultant is hosting the event and can provide fit checks if needed. Thank you!**​
