The Best Breweries and Brewpubs in Bend, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Bridge 99 may be tucked away near the industrial northside of Bend, but it’s carved out a charming indoor/outdoor brewpub. Flowers and a fountain adorn the outside of the natural wood counter, and a custom-carved steel fireguard brings style indoors. The embracing ambiance is only topped by a creative, fresh menu that includes Cajun tots, pesto-chicken cauliflower Brussels, and pizzettas (small pizzas). The Island Brothers truck has been in this location for many years, serving Filipino and Hawaiian dishes. While the sticky chicken is a treat, the 16-hour, cooked Kalua pork tastes like a luau with the infused smokiness like that of a buried pig. Many beers have been clarified to be 99 percent gluten-free. Rock Crusher Red is their flagship beer, but they make killer hard seltzers, including Huckleberry Lime and Peach Lemonade flavors. In the mood for more than a beer? Try a blonde Mary that replaces vodka with beer." - Barb Gonzalez
