Bend. Brewery Only Bottles.

Thanks, I actually just tried a bottle of the Impasse last night and really enjoyed it (light and crisp but with plenty of flavor and the aroma was fantastic). Looks like I will stick with my usual "I'll have one of each" tasting style.

 

Just returned from a 2 week vacation in the northwest (eastern side (except Eugene).

Two days in Bend. Always one of our very favorite places to visit. How many breweries? Yikes, what fun.

Platypus was fun, nice bottle collection, HUB single hop IPA was on tap, great beer.

10 barrel is tied with BoneYard for my favorites, apocalypse is the best, they had a few wheat ipa's, really good as well.

Bone Yard is killer, took home a growler of Hop Venom and RPM. (Us from CA can only dream of pulling into a gas station or car wash and getting a grower filled.

Went to Crux. Had a sampler, pretty good beer, awesome set up. Their Citra APA was the best IMHO. Waitresses, yikes, not very well educated on the beer, nor on customer service. Must be the hipster part of the breweries.

Pay 3.99 for a pliny, hard to spot these guys a 5 for good beer.
