The Best Breweries and Brewpubs in Bend, Oregon to Sip Local Beer

"Approaching the patio of Immersion Brewing in the rustic Box Factory near the Old Mill District, it’s evident from the welcoming ambiance that this is a family-owned brewpub. A windowed garage door extends the high-ceiling indoor dining room to join a lively outdoor patio. Voted Oregon’s 2020 Small Craft Brewery of the Year at the Oregon Beer Awards, Immersion offers fun IPAs like the Hazy E, a pineapple-forward Northeast IPA, as well as sours and stouts. The excellent beer goes well with Immersion’s family kitchen, which serves made-to-order basic pub food including pretzels, nachos, barbecue, tacos, fish ’n chips, and a spicy Korean fried chicken sandwich." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
