Bend Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Bend OR)

Bend Brewing Company (established in 1995 when mullets were still fashionable) proudly claims the title of Bend, Oregon’s second‑oldest brewery. Its riverside taproom and sprawling beer garden overlook the Deschutes River, delivering an atmosphere that feels more like a celebration than a standard pub. Twelve rotating taps keep the lineup fresh, with headline acts such as the award‑winning Trade War Export Stout and the cheekily named Ching Ching Sour Ale stealing the limelight.

The venue doubles as a cultural hub, with live music humming through the garden, and private events ranging from corporate shindigs to wedding meet‑and‑greets finding a ready‑made stage. The menu pairs classic pub fare with inventive twists, and the huckleberry ginger cider is a curiosity that works surprisingly well. Meanwhile, the beer‑infused fish and chips, slathered in homemade tartar sauce spiked with tarragon, prove that the kitchen respects the same craftsmanship as the brews. Seasonal dishes rotate in line with the changing hops, ensuring nothing feels stale. Attention to décor and seasoning shows a dedication that would make even the most sceptical palate smile.
