The Deschutes Brewery facility planned for construction in Roanoke, Va. isn’t off the table—but plans have changed a bit. Instead of striking a deal with the City of Roanoke to get its land for free, the Bend-based company is going to buy the land outright. In 2016, the craft brewer announced that it would build […]
If you’re one of those west siders who hasn’t been content to trek to the east side (gasp!!) to enjoy 10 Barrel’s full pub menu at their east side location over the past few months, you can now breathe a sigh of relief. No more need for you to cross the river and subject yourself […]
It wasn’t terribly long ago that residents of Bend’s northeastern quadrant didn’t have much in the way of local beer. Folks nearby downtown or in the Old Mill are spoiled for choice, with 10 or so craft brewers and many more fine pubs within walking distance. Around the northeast, though, Bridge 99 Brewery and the […]
It is no longer a great novelty to see women in professional brewing—especially in Oregon, where the sheer size of the scene dictates that at least a few must be involved, statistically speaking. Among Bend’s breweries, though, women still stand out, thanks to the roles they’ve taken as brewmasters focused on research and development. “I […]
The Lagunitas Brewing Company of Petaluma, Calif., is such a massive brewery these days that—thanks to being half-owned by Heineken International—it no longer counts as a “craft brewer” the way the Brewers Association defines it. With a second large production facility in Chicago and a third opening soon in Azusa, Calif., Tony Magee’s brew operation […]
It’s a typical Saturday afternoon at Crux Fermentation Project: families and dogs outside, diners and beer nerds inside, and what seem to be half a dozen taster trays underneath the taps, waiting to be filled. “They tend to come and go in waves,” the bartender comments. “It’s sort of the same deal as Bloody Marys. […]
It’s a couple weeks into spring, and despite the fact that people could be skiing until the summer solstice this year, it’s finally starting to feel juuuust a bit like the season around town. To the season-aware beer connoisseur, warmer months always bring saisons to mind. Originally brewed during cooler times of the year in […]
With Central Oregon blooming into spring, the weather is just screaming the mantra, “the sudsier, the better.” With a slew of craft beer selections, our 2017 Beer Issue delves deep into this yum-tastic world of all things hops, yeast and grain. We offer an in-depth brewery guide that tells you something about each of our […]
In honor of the Beer Issue, we’re turning our attention this week to beer pairings. When you’re in a well-heeled restaurant with an abundant wine list, it comes as little surprise to see a sommelier—a wine steward—approach your table to help you pair the perfect combo of food and wine. But think about it: Wine […]
Almost no place can claim such a density of brewing activity as Bend and its surrounding county. It’s a hive of hops and barley—and with places like Boneyard and Kobold opening new taprooms in 2017, it’s still expanding. Grab a ride (could the timing have been better for Uber and Lyft to begin serving Bend?), […]
