But, the state agency says, that means children aren't allowed on the premises.
Officials of the event don't quarrel with the notion that beer is drunk at the beerfest, but they say it's not a drunken bash.
Last year, they say, several hundred children were among the 50,000 people at the four-day event at Waterfront Park, which featured music, food, root beer ... and 70 kinds of the craft beers that are making Portland famous as "Beervana." And, they say, there were no problems.
Organizers say they aren't going to fight the ruling.
