The Bend Ale Trail ™ - Your Beer Adventure Begins in Bend, Oregon

For a thousand good reasons Bend, Oregon is widely known as the premier outdoor playground of the United States. But a lesser known element of the Bend Experience is the city’s extraordinary abundance of craft beer – incredibly delicious craft beer! In our little mountain town of 82,000 people, Bend has 7 world-class craft breweries all within walking distance of one another and awaiting your visit.

Use the Bend Ale Trail Map and Passport available in the latest Discovery Map of Central Oregon to discover Bend’s 7 breweries – and for extra credit, head to our neighboring brewery in Sisters to visit the 8th! Be sure to get your passport stamped at each location. When you get all 7 stamps, stop by or send your completed passport to the Visit Bend Welcome Center and receive a commemorative Bend Silipint made especially for beer drinkers on the go! And, if you do your extra credit and visit Sisters, you’ll receive a special surprise.

The Bend Ale Trail ™ gives visitors and locals alike a glimpse into the unique craft brewery culture of Central Oregon. Learn about the cutting-edge brewing techniques used by Bend’s brewers, meet the artisan brewers who have launched the Bend beer scene onto the World stage, and experience the diversity of styles, art and taste that differentiate each of our region’s breweries.

One of the most asked questions is how do I get around Bend to do the Bend Ale Trail? The Bend Ale Trail is definitely walkable or bikeable. All of the breweries are within a few square miles and a handful of the breweries are located in downtown Bend. If you prefer to be shuttled or take a pedicab, contact John Flannery of the GETIT Shuttle (also known as Green Energy Transportation) at (541) 610-6103. They offer Bend Ale Trail tours and are happy to schedule a private large group tour if you are interested.

There is no purchase required (but we do have a few rules--see below) to participate in the Bend Ale Trail ™.
