It’s a time of change in Central Oregon’s brew scene. Boneyard Beer is about to close its little tasting room and open up a shiny new brewpub—something the neighbors down on Lake Place might breathe a sigh of relief about, were it not for the marijuana dispensary and smoker-friendly vacation rental spot slated to open […]
It’s not exactly a surprise that every summer in Bend is packed with beer-oriented events. It’s an outdoors kind of town, and there’s something enticing about knocking off a pale ale or two while enjoying the scenery by the river. (It’s arguably just as much fun to curl up by the fire and enjoy a […]
It’s hard not to like Humm Kombucha. Going to their recently-remodeled taproom on NE 2nd Street in Bend, visitors are greeted with a very airy, wide-open space offering 23 taps, including both their kombucha and special-guest beers and ciders, including the Humm Zinger radler made in collaboration with Deschutes Brewery. The renovation includes a walk-in […]
It was a lovely, sunny weekend for Avid Cider Co. to celebrate its fifth birthday. Carnival rides were humming in the parking lot, bands played, and there was plenty of Avid cider, Avid T-shirts, Avid stickers and Avid sunglasses on offer for everyone. If the name “Avid” sounds unfamiliar, though, it’s understandable—until last weekend, the […]
One can argue, with some credence, that craft beer as we know it today began in the West. Sierra Nevada Brewing, the first really successful “microbrewery,” launched in northern California in 1980, followed by a small avalanche in Oregon when brewpubs were legalized in the state in 1984. Now there are hundreds all up and […]
As a wise old lyricist once said in the days of yore: “Yo, when I’m fishin’ let’s keep one thing clear / the bait’s over there, the brew’s right here / Two six-packs and a big bag of ice / Didn’t even catch a bite but the brew tasted nice.” The “days of yore,” in […]
Sure, there’s lots to see and do around Central Oregon, but what about after all the hiking and biking and SUP’ing is done? The answer (for the over-21 crowd, that is) is to head out for a beer. Here are 10 places that evoke everything that makes up one of the coolest small-town brew scenes […]
Walking into Revision Brewing Company’s production facility in Sparks, Nev. (adjacent to Reno), one would think the place has been around for years. A roomy bar and tasting room facility opens up to an even larger warehouse area, complete with a gigantic graffiti-style mural and rows of neatly-lined steel fermenters. A dozen or so beers […]

Anything in Bend that’s been around long enough to celebrate its 30th anniversary is unusual, really. When that something is the city’s best-known brewery, it calls for a celebration. This summer marks 30 years since Gary Fish set up Deschutes Brewery downtown on Bond Street, back when Bond Street was a much emptier place. Deschutes […]
