Cinco De Mayo Beer (Portland OR) – May 4 is Cinco De Mayo and Von Ebert Brewing is celebrating things with announced the release of two new takes on the Mexican lager. Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “Fifth of May”) is an annual celebration that commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, but in the states its primarily a cultural celebration that pairs well with the right beer.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Today, Von Ebert Brewing announced the release of two Mexican Lagers just in time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Swing by the N. Mississippi. location to enjoy these new seasonal beers and dine on delicious tacos, nachos and burritos from our partner food cart Tehuana Mexican Cuisine.
Von Ebert Brewing is releasing two Mexican style lagers that focus on balance and drinkability and subtle complexity just in time for Cinco de Mayo. The Dusk and Dawn pair are designed for both festive and everyday enjoyment (and they especially shine paired with bold Mexican cuisine). The beers’ debut also signals a new direction for the brewery as it continues to expand production and distribution and grow its lineup.
Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day — that’s September — but a sharper, stranger flashpoint: May 5, 1862, when an outnumbered Mexican force held the line against the French at the Battle of Puebla. It wasn’t the end of anything. It was a refusal. A moment where grit outweighed expectation and the underdog didn’t blink. Which, honestly, feels like the exact energy you want in a glass — something balanced, resilient, quietly confident in its own structure.
Bradley Robinson, the Austin-based pitmaster behind the popular Chuds BBQ YouTube channel, managed to sum up the Portland barbecue scene fairly well after a whirlwind trip in July 2024.
“If you’re after that Franklin Barbecue brisket, ribs, sausage, that crafty Texas barbecue, go to Matt’s,” said Robinson. “Whereas Grasslands is a little more like LeRoy and Lewis, where they do brisket once a week, they’re doing a lot of specials and putting a lot of care into their sides.”
The figurative smoke ring running through my 2025 review of HarBQ, the barbecue food truck at Von Ebert Brewing’s North Portland headquarters, was an admission that, despite multiple visits, I had failed to sample the sliced brisket, the benchmark of modern American barbecue.
