On June 6th, Prost!, the beloved German‑style tavern on Portland’s Mississippi Avenue, will unveil a unique pop‑up called Prost Soccer Haus, a collaboration with Nike that fuses soccer enthusiasm with craft brewing.
A Summer of Soccer Takes Over Portland
The centerpiece is Schwüsch Pils, a 4.6% ABV pilsner brewed by Breakside Brewery, which will be poured exclusively from the outdoor Bloodbuzz bar throughout the tournament, extending through July 19th. A 10‑by‑16‑foot screen will broadcast every World Cup match, giving fans a stadium‑scale viewing experience.
Beyond the beer, the pop‑up will feature custom Nike kits sold by Tursi Soccer, allowing supporters to purchase limited‑edition apparel while they cheer. This effort is part of Nike’s broader “Summer of Soccer” initiative, which will stream all matches on massive televisions across the venue.
Prost! has long served as a gathering point for international soccer fans in Portland, marking its fifth World Cup broadcast for the local community. This year’s celebration builds on that legacy, turning the tavern into a temporary stadium‑like arena for viewers.
The opening match, featuring the United States against Germany, kicks off at 10:30 a.m., setting the tone for a summer where every goal is accompanied by the crisp taste of Schwüsch Pils and the buzz of the Bloodbuzz bar.
Local enthusiasts Dan Hart and Ben Edmunds, known for their deep involvement in Portland’s soccer scene, are expected to attend, adding a personal touch to the festivities.
With a massive viewing screen, exclusive beer pouring, and custom Nike merchandise, the Prost Soccer Haus aims to capture the communal spirit of the World Cup while highlighting Portland’s unique blend of German hospitality and Pacific Northwest creativity.
