Today marks the return of The Little Woody Barrel-Aged Beer, Cider & Whiskey Festival for Labor Day weekend, taking place starting at 5pm today (Friday) and at noon on Saturday at the Deschutes Historical Museum. The Little Woody is one of Bend’s best beer events, featuring specialty wood-aged beers and ciders spanning a variety of styles.

I posted the full easy-to-read lineup of beer and ciders pouring this weekend over on my beer blog, with the barrel-aged offerings highlighted. Because if you’re going to an event called “The Little Woody,” you’re going to be drinking the wood-aged beers, right?

Tickets can be purchased in advance here or bought at the gate. Basic entry costs $12 in advance, $15 at the gate, and includes the tasting glass. For a tasting package, which includes entry, glass, and 8 tokens, it’s $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.

There’s also a whiskey tent, and other activities to enjoy throughout the event. There will be food, and live music in the evenings as well.

Don’t miss out!
