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

"The Cascade Lakes Brewpub has gone non-profit. Proceeds from beer sales are now distributed to a variety of local non-profits. The brewery, founded in nearby Redmond in 1994, offers year-round beers, including Blonde Bombshell, Hazy IPA Lotus Pils, Salted Carmel Porter, and a few rotating specialties. Last year the brewery won an award for its “This” IPA. The menu changes for winter and summer, offering cajun mussels and clams, and shrimp and grits in the summer. A few Asian fusion dishes have also been added, including a bao bun stuffed with miso-glazed pork belly. It’s a favorite stop for those coming down from Mount Bachelor; a gondola sits out front to invite skiers and others in. By summer 2023, Cascade Lakes Brewpub will open a location on Bend’s eastside at 27th and Reed Market to accommodate new neighborhood development." - Jeffrey Stull, Barb Gonzalez
