In honor of the Beer Issue, a recap of this year's beer-related Best of Central Oregon winners
When you live in Beer Town, USA, with dozens of breweries populating a small city of only around 100,000 people, competition can be fierce. Breweries churn out seasonals, specials, and every variation of IPA they can get in order to catch the eye of a thirsty public. So when those Beer Town, USA breweries get voted "Best of Central Oregon" by their very own public, it's kind of a big deal.
