The annual Fermentation Celebration in the Old Mill District is taking place today—Thursday, June 8. (Originally it was scheduled for the 22nd but it was moved up.) The event basically turns the entire Old Mill shopping center into a beergarden!

The Fermentation Celebration is a one-day beer festival and craft beer walk on June 8 in the Old Mill District—with hop filled tastings of Bend’s numerous local breweries. Enjoy many, many tasty beers, cider and kombucha and live music. Drink packages will be sold at the Ticket Mill the day of the event.

The 6th Annual Fermentation Celebration takes place on Thursday, June 8 from 4-10pm. It’s your chance to drink up some fine beverages, not to mention some spectacular live music playing throughout the evening. The Caledonian Pipe Band will kick off the event.

We’ll have 30 local breweries and cideries pouring a selection of seasonal, debut, low production and fan favorite beers and ciders! Drink packages will be sold at the Ticket Mill the day of the event ($20 for a 5.5 ounce glass and 9 drink tickets).

There will be live music and food vendors too, and don’t forget the Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization, who will be pouring free samples of homebrewed beer (which can’t legally be sold).
