The Best Breweries and Brewpubs in Bend, Oregon - Eater Portland

"Tucked inside the Century Center on Bend’s Westside sits GoodLife’s expansive brewing and distilling facility. Its tasting room is airy and inviting, with garage doors opening onto a courtyard. Its house-smoked brisket grilled cheese sandwiches are swoon-worthy with tender meat, and tangy barbecue sauce playing against the sharp cheese on Texas toast. It begs for one of GoodLife’s approachable beers like the popular “Sweet As” IPA. The Biergarten that often hosts concerts and young families has been moved to the other side of the building with an expansive lawn and picnic tables, a food truck, and a beer truck so diners can order without walking around to the tasting room. The Lucky’s Woodsman truck is also available for gourmet-style burgers and camping entree kits to take away on an outdoor adventure." - Jeffrey Stull, Barb Gonzalez
