T he closing of one brewery’s taproom in Bend last week perhaps didn’t come as a great surprise for beer fans in the city. The upcoming shuttering of a much more renowned one in Portland, meanwhile, has some industry watchers wondering if the craft beer “correction” is underway. Craft Kitchen & Brewery opened over two […]
A fter surviving the summer heat, wildfire smoke and the Apoc-Eclipse (seems like so long ago now, doesn’t it?), all of Bend deserves to relax with a beer. The rest of September offers a vast range of opportunity for this, both locally and across the state. Bend Oktoberfest Right this weekend is Bend Oktoberfest, the […]
Charles de Gaulle, war hero and president of France, once said, “how can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?” If he were American, he would probably say something very similar about beer. T hat’s true here at home, and it’s true over in Virginia as well, where groundbreaking on Deschutes Brewery’s […]
I n a Pearl District back alley in Portland is a bar. A dark bar, one that seems to exist on a different plane from the sun and heat of the current PNW summer. One that ostensibly was a brewery, but few went there for that. And one that, as of this past Monday, is […]
A ll of Central Oregon might be growing, but there’s still something a little timeless about the outer reaches of Sisters—high trees, slower pace, large numbers of livestock about.

That’s because the local area will play host to two separate enormous beer festivals—the Bend Brewfest, starting Thursday and going ’til Saturday late night, and the Redmond Brewfest next week, just in time for eclipse traffic. The year 2017 marks […]
Y ear after year, Redmond is striking more of its own presence in Central Oregon, becoming much more than simply “not Bend.” That’s the case with the region’s favorite drink as well, to the point that one can now do a mile-long walking tour and visit three fine beer locations in the space of an […]
When the Blackberry Wheat from Ancestry Brewing is first poured out, the unwitting drinker might wonder if something is wrong with the keg. The beer is a distinct shade of dark purple, looking a bit like something that might be enjoyed after hours aboard the USS Enterprise. Dare a taste, however, and it’s remarkable how […]
Whole Foods’ annual Brewfest, held in early July each year and benefiting the High Desert Museum, can always be a bit of a challenge. It’s a small, intimate festival, with just over 25 breweries showing up, and all the booths are managed by actual brewery representatives who can tell you much more about their drinks […]
