For a second year in a row, Belmont Station, Portland’s place to be(er) for 21 years, has landed on the 10Best Beer Bars list by USA TODAY newspaper.
Nominated by a panel of relevant authorities including national beer experts, editors from USA TODAY and editors from 10Best.com, Belmont Station rose to the top 10 from a nationwide pool of 20 beer bars during a month-long voting process open to beer fans around the world.
“It’s an honor once again to not only be nominated, but to have the voting, beer-loving public around the world help us rise to the 10Best list,” says Belmont Station’s Chief Beer Goddess, Lisa Morrison. “Being chosen as Oregon’s only 10Best beer bar among these other world-class establishments is a wonderful distinction.”
The 10Best Readers’ Choice Award contest launches new categories every other Monday at noon, revealing each category's 20 nominees. After four weeks of voting, the contest closes on the 28th day at noon. On the Friday after voting ends, winners are revealed. Rules allow the public the right to vote online for one nominee per category, per day. All voting is digital and the 10Best Readers’ Choice Award contest is accessible on the 10Best.com website.
While the 10Best Readers’ Choice Award contest lives on 10Best.com - a standalone travel media site - it is promoted across USA TODAY Travel Media Group’s digital and mobile products, as well as via social media. Nominees are also announced and/or promoted across relevant USA TODAY departments, and through Gannett media outlets.
