The Heart of the Valley Homebrewers are the host of the Annual Oregon Homebrew Festival, the longest running event of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. The event is usually held in May at the Benton County Fair Grounds in Corvallis, OR. The main focus of the event is the judging homebrewed beer. The competition is sanctioned by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) and the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP), using BJCP Style Guidelines.

In addition, the club will host a festival to promote awareness and knowledge of various beer styles, provide opportunities to share information about the homebrewing and microbrewing craft, and encourage interaction between homebrewers in a social atmosphere. The activities along with the homebrew competition will include mircobrew festival, publicly judged home-made soda competition, homebrew label competition, rookie entry competition, several displays, a raffle and the opportunity to meet and talk with some of the best and most experienced professional and homebrewers anywhere!
