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 […]
GoodLife
Enjoying the GoodLife in ’18

It knows that, by the time we’re all taking off our outer layers, we’ll want something lighter in our glasses to […]
PICK: Seattle Funk Band Down North
tuesday 19 Down North FUNKโIf GoodLifeโs roof had a patio, this Seattle-based funk band would tear it off. The group that managed to turn out a funk-phobic music writer for the Stranger brings an old school flavor to the genre that birthed some of musicโs greats. From throbbing, syncopated base lines to funky flourishes and […]
Heady Brews Make for a Happy Holiday
Well, it’s about time. Finally, hop-happy Bend, the beer capital of the west, is getting its own winter beer festival. In doing so, Bend brewers are giving a nod of recognition to a growing beer-culture trend —celebrating specialty and seasonal brews. Rather than kowtow to the masses and provide everything from IPAs to ciders, such […]
