We here at Bend Oregon Beer have been in recovery mode from the Bend Brewfest. It was definitely fun, and there were plenty of excellent, interesting, and not-so-great beers to be had (Mint Kolsch … really? Was that necessary?). During our time away, our local breweries haven’t missed a step and are hard at work accepting accolades, growing their facilities, and continuing to pump out the delicious nectar we all love.
So as a quick catch up post, we give you a smattering of tasty news nuggets surrounding the activities of 10 Barrel, Bend Brewing Company, Goodlife and Boneyard …
10 Barrel:
- ISA was chosen as this month’s Beer of the Month in Beer Magazine
Bend Brewing Company:
- Brewmaster Tonya Cornett gets some well-deserved love in a great Q & A with Ninkasi’s Jamie Floyd
GoodLife:
- Their Biergarten is officially open (post to follow)
- The Mountain Rescue IPA tied for the People’s Choice Award at the Bend Brewfest (first showing there too … not too shabby).
Boneyard:
- They announced Little Woody offerings of a Bourbon Black 13, Bourbon Girl (Twisted Sister), and Suge Knite (1/6 barrel being tapped up 7pm sat at little woody, aged 200 days in whiskey oak).
- The RPM IPA tied for the People’s Choice Award at the Bend Brewfest.
Cheers!
