One of the best beer tasting rooms in Bend. Lots of indoor seating and a huge outdoor seating area. Great selection of draft beers in all styles. Lots of affordable cans to-go. Several food trucks and a restaurant inside.

Excellent service, they were very nice and quick. We got a bunch of different items to share between the 5 of us. The pretzel was a little over cooked and the taco dip was only luke warm. But the Philly cheese steak was good. Beers...Read More

I rated the food 5 stars out of 5. Beer is considered food, right? Beer was great. Atmosphere and staff were great as well.

Great place. Great beer. You can sit inside with more of a yuppie crowd or out on the lawn with food trucks and dogs and kids and people playing corn hole. I liked the outside better. Get the El Sancho tacos. Life is good.

Nice big outdoor space - kid and dog friendly. Lots of outdoor seating, but still not enough to accommodate the large crowds that gather here. They are currently under construction with another building.. And the beer was alright, nothing exceptional, but the atmosphere and friendly...Read More

During the Thanksgiving holiday, several of us slipped away from family dynamics and spent some time at this brewer gem. We sat outside and ordered food from the taco stand and admired the great outdoor space. Eventually, we stayed longer than planned so...Read More

Maybe my favorite brewery in bend. Great hazy ipas and very fun environment. Dogs and kids allowed. They have a fire pit and food trucks outside along with their own kitchen. Bartenders super helpful and are skiers which is a vibe.

Another great brewery + food truck situation in bend. We were there on a Monday and the food truck situation was minimal but they had their food served inside. With the great weather, amount of people there, and space, I was hoping they would have...Read More

Have loved this place as a family friendly destination, but very disappointed with recent changes to the food menu. Apparently they got rid of their flat top grills, and now all they serve is snacks and cold sandwiches. This is effectively a tap room, not...Read More
