————————-
The Chowder Challenge takes place in the tented/heated parking lot adjacent to the Fifth Quadrant on N Failing St, with seating inside the restaurant, in Sidebar, and in a heated & tented parking lot next to Sidebar on N Williams. Patrons (ages 12 and up) pay $10 for a tasting tray featuring a dozen two-ounce samples of New England-style clam chowders served in non-labeled tasting cups. After tasting all entries, attendees vote for their favorite. The chowder receiving the most votes is named the People's Choice Winner and takes home the Chowder Cup and a cash prize. The event also features live music from Train River, a beer garden, a raffle and pub food for purchase. The event is open to all ages. All net proceeds are donated to Portland’s Community Transitional School.
This year’s participants are Lompoc Beer 5th Quadrant, Burnside Brewing Co, Cascade Brewing Barrel House, D'S Bar, Farm House Cafe, Pelican Brewing Company, Produce Row Cafe, Saraveza, Sports on Tap, Stormbreaker Brewing, Uptown Market and Widmer Brothers Brewing.
The reputation of the New Old Lompoc’s clam chowder was the motivation behind the original Chowder Challenge. The New Old Lompoc restaurant on NW 23rd Ave. won the inaugural Chowder Cup; the Morrison Hotel stole it away in the following year, but it was wrested back by the New Old Lompoc at the next four events. In 2013, with the New Old Lompoc out of the competition while being rebuilt, the Ice Axe Grill swooped in and took the cup. In 2014, the New Old Lompoc – revived as the Lompoc Tavern – returned the cup to its original hands, and won again in 2015.
