Last week I posted details about the upcoming barrel-aged beer fest, The Little Woody—and today, I have a list of the beers that are going to be on tap. This Saturday, the 12th, the lawn of the Deschutes Historical Museum will be the site of the beer festival, which is … Continue reading
I mentioned a while back a brief bit about The Little Woody, the barrel-aged brew festival coming up in September to replace the Bend Brew Fest. There are more details now; as I posted on my beer blog last night: This festival will feature hand crafted, wood aged beer as … Continue reading
Over on my original Abbey Pub post, Geoff (the owner) has been answering comments and providing updates, and the last was worth reposting: Our hours have changed a little bit. Here’s the scoop: we were closed last Tuesday due to having a wisdom tooth extracted. We will be closed this … Continue reading
A friend of mine is very close to opening a new beer bar over on Bend’s westside, and this weekend we got a chance to look in on the progress and get some updates to blog about. Located next to WineStyles, just off of College Way at the base of … Continue reading

I’m a bit surprised to see that Elk Lake is available by the bottle, though I suppose … Continue reading
After work today we stopped in to the Eastside Longboard Louie’s for a drink and appetizer, and I have to blog this: they have $2 pints of beer all day, every day. No kidding! My wife told me about it some time back, but I thought that meant they had … Continue reading
Friday after work we popped in to Deschutes Brewery to try the newly-released Mirror Mirror, and in a shameless bit of self-promotion I’m pointing you to my beer blog to read about it. Suffice to say it is a very worthy beer to get while it’s still available on tap. … Continue reading

"Festivities" should start around 5pm, and if previous release parties are any indication, there will be … Continue reading
