"Bend Brewing Company was established in 1995, making it the second-oldest brewery in Bend. BBC (as locals call it) has indoor seating, but many prefer the lawn next to Mirror Pond or patio seating with heated benches in the winter. Popping by BBC is a lovely way to spend a summer day enjoying Bend’s best crunchy and fresh fish and chips and dripping burgers paired with BBC’s award-winning brews. Try the Built to Chill, which won a bronze medal for American-style lager at the 2025 World Beer Cup, or check out several others that earned medals at the Oregon Beer Awards." - Barb Gonzalez
