Deschutes Brewery Plans to Expand Brewpub
Bend’s Deschutes Brewery pub is planning on expanding.
One of the biggest gripes you’ll hear about the Deschutes Brewery pub in downtown Bend has nothing to do with the quality of the food or the beer, but rather the fact that the place is always crowded.
Well that will likely change by 2012 as the brewery announced today that it is planning a significant expansion of its brew pub, which has for more than two decades operated on Bond Street.

From Airstream to Haute Cuisine: Spork serves dinner for two nights and knocks everyone's socks off
Last Thursday evening, I walked down the frosted sidewalk of Bond Street. The day’s rain had made the air bone-chillingly cold and if it had been any other night, I would have probably stayed in with a cup of tea and a Mad Men marathon.
