Live music isn’t dead. It’s more like it’s in hibernation, so we’re seeing it less frequently, because we, too, have also been in a form of hibernation the last few months. But when you do get a chance to step out of your cave you might be lucky enough to see some live tunes. Especially […]
Hazy beers are huge right now, and I’m just as guilty as the next hazy-lover in indulging the trend. There are plenty of good ones brewed right here in Bend and Central Oregon, so why not fully embrace it? One of my favorites from the area is GoodLife Brewing’s Sippy Cup. I had it on […]
Having lived in Bend for almost two years now, I discovered that I still hadn’t tried Riverbend Brewing’s Box Car Rapids, a year-round, award-winning fixture from the local brewery. I’m happy to announce that today, that all changed. Looking for something with a lighter percentage but still packed with flavor, this red ale jumped right […]
Raise your hand if you miss going to breweries. Right now we have prime-time weather to kick back at a favorite watering hole—but with lockdown, that’s still out of the question. Still, many of the places you go to get your thirst quenched are making things easier by either delivering to your doorstep or letting […]
The craft beer industry has evolved over the years, and imagining it as a male-only trade would be silly. Plenty of women brew beer, and Central Oregon is lucky to host a lot of that talent right here. Tonya Cornett, 10 Barrel’s brewmaster of research and development, has been a part of Bend’s brewing scene […]

Best New Brewery went to Boss Rambler Beer Club of Bend, while Sunriver Brewing got a nod for its Excellence in Brewing Operations, representing Oregon’s Central region. Small Brewery of the Year went to Bend’s Immersion Brewing. And 23 Central […]
F or my second piece of 2020, I stuck with my promise to review more beers outside of Bend. This time I ventured all the way to…. Deschutes River Woods!!! OK, OK… so yeah… it’s technically still Bend, but please keep reading. It was a fun visit and is completely unique to Central Oregon. I […]
Before early microbreweries extolled the virtues of Cascade hops and two-row barley malt, there was a time when most people hadn’t the haziest idea what beer actually is. People knew beer came in a bottle or a can, their dads reached for one after a hard day at work and that beer is what you […]
This year, I resolve to broaden my search for review-worthy beers. I’ll be striving to bring more regional beer reviews from outside of Bend. To start the new year and the beginning of winter, I took a trip to Three Creeks Brewing. I hadn’t been to the brewery in probably three or four years, and […]
Holiday gift guides are so ubiquitous this time of year the last thing you need is another listicle screaming at you to spend your hard-earned cash on the latest, greatest beer gadget. With only a few shopping days left in the holiday season, I thought it would be better to provide a DO NOT BUY […]
