Almost no place can claim such a density of brewing activity as Bend and its surrounding county. It’s a hive of hops and barley—and with places like Boneyard and Kobold opening new taprooms in 2017, it’s still expanding. Grab a ride (could the timing have been better for Uber and Lyft to begin serving Bend?), […]
Since well before 1971, when Gov. Tom McCall famously told tourists, “For heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live,” Oregon has engaged in the oddly addictive pastime of taking Californians’ money while blaming them for whatever malady currently affects the state. What happens, though, when the march from down south begins to creep onto Oregon’s […]
The drive along US-20 between Central Oregon and Boise can be pretty boring: vast tracts of uninhabited, sagebrush-filled land with little to ease the monotony until the mountains past Burns. But Idaho’s capital is worth at least a weekend visit for any Bendite, thanks to its towering state capitol, its vast array of outdoor activities […]
It could be difficult to imagine for the Bendites (and their dogs) who pack around the bonfire pit every weekend on Galveston Avenue, but 10 Barrel Brewing Company has become a brewery with a national presence, one that even rivals Deschutes in spots. This is thanks to two things: An A-B InBev-affiliated distribution market that […]
Ah, Central Oregon. For people who want the largest, most diverse and highest-quality beer scene in the universe, this is it. What the area doesn’t have, however, is commensurate world-class beer distribution. A visit to a beer shop will mostly turn up beer from Oregon and Washington, with a few stragglers from points south and […]
Given the lack of a formal announcement, it might have been a surprise for fans of Redmond’s Juniper Brewing to go onto the local Craigslist a few days back and find the brewery for sale. The whole of Juniper’s operation is now on the market, including the two-barrel brewing system, 90-gallon brew kettle, four fermenters, […]
After enduring a winter that nobody needs any reminder of, the concept of a tropical getaway might sound pretty appealing to a wide swath of Bendites right about now. That getaway can be found on the faraway Florida coast, where enjoying a decent drink by the waterfront no longer means resigning oneself to Coronas and […]
Boneyard Beer, the standard-bearer for good IPA across the mighty state of Oregon, has—in its own words—been “going event-crazy” for the whole month of February. The results are putting the hometown brewer on the map, not just across the Pacific Northwest, but also allowing the brand to quite literally brush shoulders with the world’s best. […]
Given their “rich uncle” in Belgium, it’s perhaps no surprise that 10 Barrel’s beer can now be obtained in parts of the U.S. that are quite a distance away from Galveston Avenue. Fans can find brands like Joe and Apocalypse in bars in such far-off and exotic places as Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh…and even at […]
It’s been nearly a year since Deschutes Brewery announced plans to break ground on a second beer production facility in Roanoke, Virginia by 2019. With Black Butte, Sage Fight and the rest of the gang now available statewide, the locals are certainly excited for it. Around 22,000 people attended the company’s rolling outdoor Street Pub […]
