About us
Let’s be honest — most financial content is boring, intimidating, or trying to sell you something. We’re doing something different.
IPAs & IRAs is a monthly gathering for Portlanders who want to get smarter about their money in the most Portland way possible: over great craft beer, in good company, with zero pressure and zero jargon.
Every month we pick a topic — retirement basics, buying vs. renting, investing, tax strategies, you name it — spend a few minutes talking about it, then open it up for real conversation. There are no dumb questions! Share what’s worked for you. Hear what’s working for others.
Who shows up:
Successful professionals who feel like they should have this stuff figured out by now (spoiler: most people don’t). First-time investors. Small business owners. Folks going through a big life change. Curious people who just want to feel more confident about their financial future.
What it’s NOT:
- Sales event or seminar.
- A room full of people in suits handing out business cards.
- There’s no product to buy and no pitch incoming. Just conversation.
What to expect:
- Rotating taproom with a great beer list
- Short, casual discussions on a monthly financial topic
- Easy, low-key networking with interesting locals
- Judgment-free space to ask the questions you’ve been Googling at midnight.
Whether you’re just starting to think about investing or you’ve been at it for years, you’ll fit right in. Come for the IPA. Stay for the financial clarity.
