"Owners Peter Brantley and Katie Dunbar, paired up with 10-barrel veteran brewer master Bryon Pyka to open Bend’s newest brewpub and brewery in Monkless’s previous facility. Pyka is known for his innovative post-fermentation flavoring and base beers. The ever-changing lineup includes an award-winning old brown with coffee and vanilla, a mixed culture sour with zested Meyer lemons, and more. The tasting room has a homey garage feel with corrugated steel walls covered in stained pallet wood and paper lanterns floating overhead. The food comes from Joey Lander’s barbecue food truck, which serves melt-in-the-mouth burnt ends, and fall-of-the-bone ribs. The meat is served with his Carolina barbecue sauce recipe with a secret ingredient that adds flavor complexity (shh, it’s curry). before opening the food truck, Lander learned about barbecue in the South, before spending eight years at Zydeco." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
