MXPDX kicks off with an all-inclusive Cantina party on Friday, July 18th, at The Redd featuring complimentary beers and food from Oregon’s first Mexican-owned brewery – Xicha Brewing – out of Salem. The MXPDX Cantina is inspired by authentic Mexico City-style cantinas with a celebratory atmosphere where cervezas and micheladas flow freely with soulful food and lively music. The party will double as a meet and greet with brewers and owners from all 26 participating breweries from Mexico and Oregon sharing their beers, culture, and conversation. Cocktails from Straightaway Cocktails will also be available for additional purchase.
