It was 18 years ago this month, back in 1995, that Bend Brewing Company opened their doors, the second brewpub in Bend (and third overall in Central Oregon). And to celebrate, today starting at 4pm they are kicking off their 18th birthday party:

We’re celebrating 18 years in business, and we invite you to come celebrate with us. Saturday, February 23rd we will be featuring free music from Tone Red. They will be rocking the BBC from 8pm-10pm. We will also be offering our famous locals night beer prices starting at 4pm. There will be prizes and giveaways. Did I also mention that all of our seasonal beers will be medal winners! Cheers! Hope to see you all there!

The BBC is an institution downtown, and they’ve got a terrific lineup of award-winning beers: get down there tonight to help them celebrate nearly two decades!
