"Sunriver Brewing Company opened its doors in Bend in early 2016 on what has become a busy stretch of Northwest Galveston Avenue. Since then, its award-winning beers have been a draw to this lively pub. Along with numerous accolades from the Oregon Beer Awards, Fuzztail earned gold for American wheat beer at the 2025 World Beer Cup, and the brewery was awarded Best Mid-Size Brewery of the Year. The Rippin, a Northwest pale ale, is an excellent match for a giant beer pretzel with beer cheese and beer mustard. Other elevated pub fare on the menu includes the wagyu sliders and the popular General Tso fried cauliflower in a sweet garlic-ginger sauce. Sunriver offers year-round outdoor dining in a heated, covered bridge replica or around shaded outdoor fire pits on the recently extended back patio. The brewery also has a more community-oriented location on the east side near the hospital, with an indoor play area for kids and ample outdoor seating." - Barb Gonzalez
