Far be it for me or anyone to tell you what beer to drink and when. You want a double-digit ABV double IPA? Just know that the more alcohol you consume, the greater the risk of severe dehydration and, by extension, heat stroke you assume. Which is why the first hallmark of a good float […]
The assignment seemed dubious. Yet Managing Editor Nic Moye’s mischievous conviction, signaled by the finger she pointed at me from across the Source’s editorial department, was unwavering. I want you to write about Cycle Pub for the Beer Issue! I could see the logic if I squinted: I love craft beer as much as I love cycling. Ipso facto, I’d love Cycle Pub. Moye […]
Last month, the married owners of Funky Fauna Artisan Ales, Michael Frith and Danielle Burns, shared on Instagram that after four years in business, they’re having a rough go even during summer’s high season in Bend’s hospitality industry. “We’ve experienced the slowest stretch in our li’l brewery’s history, including our slowest day on record.” To […]
Ryan McVay has been making beer longer than most people realize. The brewmaster for Three Creeks Brewing Company in Sisters got his start homebrewing with his mom at age 16, studied fermentation in Germany, worked in a Bavarian monastery brewery, and has spent the last several years quietly stacking awards in one of Central Oregon’s […]
I’ve always understood pairing a bold red wine with a rich beef bourguignon — classic culinary logic drilled into home cooks and sommeliers alike. But beer as a cooking ingredient? That idea had never crossed my mind. Turns out, I’m behind the curve, and I doubt I’m the only one. Beer-infused cooking has quietly become […]
Broken Top Bottle Shop is bowing out A popular westside restaurant is closing for good. Broken Top Bottle Shop at NW Pence and College Way will celebrate its last day in business on July 31. The restaurant, which has been open more than 14 years, offers a wide selection of beer as well as a […]
A new dinner spot has opened at Tetherow Resort. Coorie, named after a Scottish word meaning “to nestle in” or “take shelter,” is located in the space that was formerly Solomon’s. Seasonal menus inspired by Central Oregon ingredients focus on Pacific Northwest cuisine. Starters on Coorie’s menu include a panzanella salad, beet carpaccio, Rainshadow Farms […]
To me, there are only a few touchstones of Bend left anymore when it comes to the food scene. The landscape of cuisine has always been fluid and ever-shifting, but now, more than ever, it seems like we can’t take any of our favorite spots for granted. Whenever I’m showing out-of-state filmmakers around during the […]
Organic grocer to open in downtown Redmond The vacant JoAnn Fabrics building on SW Sixth Street in Redmond will soon be home to Natural Grocers. The City of Redmond says the Redmond Urban Renewal Agency has approved a forgivable grant of up to $500,000 to Natural Grocers for building improvements. The City says the grocery […]
One bite of Cascade Alchemy Bowls’ Mt. Hood Bowl and I immediately regretted every visit I had ever made to Blacksmith Public House without ordering it from the food truck. The creamy Thai-inspired peanut sauce was bright and citrusy. Tender marinated chicken, crunchy pickled carrots, sautéed bok choy and cool cucumber slices came together over […]
