The Best Breweries and Brewpubs in Bend, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Twenty-four McMenamin locations have breweries, including Bend’s Old St. Francis School. The six-barrel brewhouse sits below the pub and won the 2024 Craft Beer Awards Small-Size Brewery of the Year. Its Bamberg Obsession took gold in the coffee and smoke beer category at the Oregon Beer Awards. But the whole range of beers complements dishes from a new chef who came in two years ago. The cellar masters steak and mushroom bites mix beef ribeye with button mushrooms in Black Rabbit red wine demi-glace with a side of horseradish sour cream, with the perfect cool bite that plays off the meat dish and is wonderfully washed down with a light and fruity Ruby Ale. The pub is comfortable and welcoming, with Grateful Dead music playing in the background, a place to hang out either inside in the winter or enjoying a summer day on the patios. It’s located a block outside of downtown." - Barb Gonzalez
