The Best Breweries and Brewpubs in Bend, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Craft Kitchen moved its tasting room and restaurant from the Old Mill to its brewery location, hidden in the backstreets of northeast Bend. Although the kitchen is now in a food truck, it’s maintained the Craft touch with barbecue and Southern cuisine like po’ boys, sandos, and a Cubano. It’s hard to choose between the Southern fried chicken, gluten-free spicy-sweet honey jalapeño cornbread, the fruitwood smoked brisket, or the fresh sweet potato tacos with lavender salt. It all pairs well with Craft Kitchen’s beers, like the Juice is Loose Hazy IPA. For fun, Saturday night is comedy night, where Craft brings in national and local talent. Or, come Wednesday for open mic night." - Barb Gonzalez
