The Bend brewery guide
Every brewery worth your time, sorted the way locals actually choose: who is open, who has food, who lets the dog in, and what to order when you get there.
Tell us the situation. We will pick the brewery.
Opening hours below update live, so you can see who is pouring before you leave the house.

The full list
Green means open right now, Bend time. Where we have not confirmed the hours, the card says so.
Bend’s beer story began in this pub in 1988. It is still a real pub with a real kitchen, and the brewers here make small-batch beers you will not find in a store.
OrderBlack Butte Porter where it was born, then whatever is marked pub exclusive.
1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR 97703
Bend’s second-oldest brewery has the best seat downtown: a lawn that runs down to the river. Its hazy IPA, Because Science, won gold at both the 2026 World Beer Cup and the Oregon Beer Awards.
OrderBecause Science if it is on. Ching Ching, the pink pomegranate sour, if you want something tart.
Tuesday is Locals Night: $4 pints from 3 pm to close.
BBC also runs Waypoint, its bar at The Grove in NorthWest Crossing, and The Way West in the Old Mill.
1019 NW Brooks St, Bend, OR 97703
Down the stairs off Oregon Avenue is an English pub. Porter Brewing makes only cask ale, pulled by hand pump and served at cellar temperature in 20-ounce imperial pints. Nobody else in Central Oregon does this.
OrderA pint of bitter and a savory pie. There are board games and live acoustic music most nights at 6.
206 NW Oregon Ave, Bend, OR 97703
Not a brewery in the usual sense. It is a 1936 Catholic school turned hotel, with a pub, a movie theater, a soaking pool and several small bars. But there is a real brewery on the property, and the house ales are made right here. Its Pistol Peach took gold at the 2026 Oregon Beer Awards.
OrderA house ale and Cajun tots by the courtyard fire pits.
The pub opens at 7 am for breakfast and runs until midnight. Half the fun is finding the hidden bars.
700 NW Bond St, Bend, OR 97703
Bend’s third-oldest brewery drinks like a neighborhood bar: a stage, a packed calendar of music and comedy, and food carts out back. The building went up for sale in fall 2026, but the brewery is staying as the tenant.
OrderIPA 97 and a po boy from the Southern Accent cart.
24 NW Greenwood Ave, Bend, OR 97703
The original Boneyard, tucked on a side street south of downtown. The big pub on Division closed on October 11, 2026, so this is now the only place to drink Boneyard at Boneyard. Pints, crowlers and six-packs to go.
OrderRPM IPA, one of the most poured IPAs in Oregon.
Wednesday is locals day, with the best prices of the week. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
37 NW Lake Pl, Bend, OR 97703
The original 10 Barrel pub. Twenty taps, pizza and burgers, and a patio full of people who just got off their bikes. Minors are welcome at all hours, which makes it an easy family call.
OrderA pizza to share and something from the seasonal taps.
There is a second, bigger pub on the east side at 62950 NE 18th St.
1135 NW Galveston Ave, Bend, OR 97703

70 SW Century Dr, Bend, OR 97702
An old transmission shop with a huge lawn pointed straight at the Cascades. The lawn was rebuilt in 2026 with shade, fire pits and five food carts. Kids and dogs everywhere. Ignore the “Private Road” signs on the way in.

Sundowner Hour runs 30 minutes either side of sunset, every day, with beer specials.
50 SW Division St, Bend, OR 97702

The Abbey, a small tasting room at the brewery (900 SE Wilson Ave, Suite H), opens a few evenings a week.
803 SW Industrial Way, Suite 202, Bend, OR 97702
This is the big production brewery, not the pub. Come here for the guided tour, the beer garden and bottles you can only buy at the source. Tours run about 45 minutes and often fill, so book online first.

901 SW Simpson Ave, Bend, OR 97702
Bend Brewing Co. and Sisters Meat and Smokehouse under one roof, opened in July 2026. A walk-up meat counter, a full restaurant and the BBC tap list.

Happy hour is Monday to Friday, 3 to 5.
310 SW Industrial Way, Suite 114, Bend, OR 97702
Owned by two professional disc golfers, with a basket on the patio to prove it. Bevel is all about IPA, and its fresh hop beers each fall are some of the best in town. Food carts ring the patio and dogs and kids are welcome.
OrderThe freshest IPA on the board, and in September and October, anything marked fresh hop.
Tuesday is Locals Day: $4 beers from noon to 9.

OrderRippin, the pale ale that keeps winning gold. Cocoa Cow chocolate milk stout for dessert.

Happy hour is weekdays, 3 to 5.

Saison-style wild ales fermented in oak with a house yeast caught from Central Oregon air, made with Oregon grain and hops and finished on local fruit and herbs. Moved from Sisters into the old Humm Kombucha taproom in 2025.

OrderA pizzetta and the coconut porter.
63063 Layton Ave, Bend, OR 97701

Five breweries, no car. This is the one to do if you are staying downtown.
Walk or bike, with one longer stretch · 3 hours

Free, and worth doing
The Ale Trail is a passport run by Visit Bend. It covers nearly every brewery in this guide, grouped into seven territories so you can finish one in an afternoon.
Good to know: November is Bend Ale Trail Month, with extra prizes. In fall there is also a Fresh Hop Bingo card.
Five breweries you can walk between. The easiest crawl in town.
Galveston and Century Drive. Where people stop on the way down from Mt. Bachelor.
River decks, the Crux lawn and the newest award winner, all close together.
Neighborhood pubs with parking, kitchens and room for kids.
The industrial northeast corner where the beer is actually made. Small taprooms, serious beer.
Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver and Prineville. Worth it when you are already headed that way.
Six things locals know
There are more than 25 places to drink brewery beer in Bend and they are spread across town. Two or three stops in one area beats six stops and four car rides.
A pub has a kitchen and welcomes kids. A taproom usually means food carts or no food at all, and some are 21 and over. Check the tags before you bring the family.
Bend sits at 3,600 feet. One beer feels like two, and many of the best beers here are 7 percent or more. Order the small pour and drink water.
Downtown and the Old Mill are walkable. Everywhere else, use a rideshare or a bike. The Cycle Pub and local shuttle tours will also haul a group from tap to tap.
For a few weeks each fall, brewers make beer with hops picked that day. These beers do not travel and do not last. If you see “fresh hop” on a board, order it.
Almost every taproom fills crowlers or sells cans to go. The small-batch beers at the pubs are often not sold anywhere else.
Quick answers
This guide lists 24 places in Bend where you can drink beer from a local brewery at the source, plus 7 more in Redmond, Sisters and Sunriver. The Bend Ale Trail counts more than 30 stops across Central Oregon. The number moves every year as taprooms open and close.
Crux Fermentation Project, for the lawn and the mountain view. Deschutes Brewery Public House, for the history and a full meal. Bend Brewing Co., for a pint on the grass above Mirror Pond. Pick by the weather and whether you need dinner.
UPP Liquids has the strongest case. It opened in June 2025 and was named Small Brewery of the Year and Best New Brewery at the 2026 Oregon Beer Awards. Terranaut Beer, Van Henion Brewing, Sunriver Brewing and Bend Brewing Co. also won major medals in 2026.
Downtown has five within about a mile: Deschutes Brewery Public House, Bend Brewing Co., The Cellar by Porter Brewing, McMenamins Old St. Francis School and Silver Moon Brewing. In the Old Mill area, UPP Liquids and Monkless are five minutes apart, and Crux is about a 15 minute walk from there.
The brewpubs with kitchens. Sunriver Brewing’s Eastside Pub has a kids’ play area, 10 Barrel welcomes minors at all hours, and the Crux lawn is full of families. Some small taprooms, including Van Henion and Funky Fauna, are 21 and over.
Crux, Bevel Craft Brewing and Van Henion all welcome dogs, and Cascade Lakes has a dog-friendly patio. Most places with a patio allow leashed dogs outside, but ask first.
Yes. Deschutes Brewery runs guided tours from its Tasting Room at 901 SW Simpson Ave. They take about 45 minutes and often fill, so book online ahead of time. You must be 21 to taste.
A free, self-guided passport program run by Visit Bend. You collect a stamp or app check-in at each brewery, and earn a prize for every territory you finish. There are seven territories, no deadline and no required order. November is Ale Trail Month.
Only the pub. The Boneyard Pub on NE Division Street closed on October 11, 2026. Boneyard Beer is still brewing, and its original tasting room at 37 NW Lake Place is open Wednesday to Sunday.
September and October. Brewers make these beers with hops picked that day, so they are only around for a few weeks. Bevel is known for them, and most Bend breweries release at least one.
Checked October 11, 2026. Hours and tap lists change, so confirm with the brewery before a special trip. Own a brewery or spot something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.
