Bend Brewery Events

From the Bend Ale Trail, the largest beer trail in the west, to the Bend Brewfest event hosted each August at the Les Schwab Amphitheater, you will never get bored of Bend beer. You can always go on one of our well-known friendly brewery tours to experience the different beers Bend has to offer. Personally, some of my favorite breweries in downtown Bend are the Monkless Belgian Ales, where perfecting the brewing process for their Belgian-style ales is a virtue and the Goodlife Brewing Company’s must-see beer garden. Another Bend favorite is the Old Mill District where there is a wide variety of shopping, outdoor seating, food trucks, and different breweries.

If you want to simply relax and do your own thing just grab an RPM IPA at the grocery store or a bite at Wild Ride’s food truck.

Enjoy the famed beer experience that Central Oregon has to offer, then you decide who is the best brewery in Bend.
