They'll give you tastes of anything and everything to help you make a decision. Half Hitch Imperial IPA and the Peated Scotch Ale are very tasty. Get some tacos at Sancho's stand too!

Damon C

Enjoyed every beer we tried (French Connection, Half Hitch , Tough Love ). If you happen to be served by Alex, he's super friendly and his recommendations are spot on. Also, the Project Board was +100.

Caroline Janas

Great beer but really busy; must be one of the best spots in Bend for beer and a sunset . Try the Tough Love . Yum!

Bikabout

Expansive brewery operation and tasting room indoors with HUGE yard lined with food trucks outside and the bike trail leads right to it! www.bikabout.com/bend

A Kham ????

Look for the "Banned" list, sir if you wanna eat indoor, food carts if you don't mind being outside, and best of all - FIRE BALL PIT! ????

Donald Klotter

My new favorite in bend. Outstanding beers , many in true german style . Sundown happy hour well worth the view .

j Cuillbutts

Beer is awesome! The atmosphere is family-friendly and dog-friendly with music , food trucks , and sunset specials.

First We Feast

Try this: On The Fence NWPA, which tiptoes the fine line between an IPA and pale ale , with citrusy Centennial and tropical Citra hops steering the flavor and aroma. Read more

Great beer with awesome food carts (tacos , brats , açaí bowls , etc). Tons of outdoor space so perfect for a sunny afternoon.

Gimme Mo IPA . I think I will. Gourmet food choices. Roasted Brussels. Mac-n-cheese. Pulled pork . Great atmosphere. A must in Bend!

They’re no longer offering online ordering and outdoor pickup, but if you call and get an exceptionally helpful staff member they might help you get beer without coming indoors
