Seven Territories, One Ale Trail

Bend Ale Trail

Whether it’s Flanders red floating your boat, or hoppy IPAs that add a spring in your step, you’re bound to find beervana in Bend.

The All New Bend Ale Trail

Seven Territories, One Ale Trail

Back in the day, Bend was a logging town. Today, we’re a lager town. And porter. And IPA. And…well, let’s say craft beer’s booming in Bend.

From six breweries when the Bend Ale Trail launched in 2010 to more than two dozen today, craft beer is king around these parts. Blend in a bunch of distilleries, cideries, wineries, and kombucha brewers and you’ve got a mind-boggling craft beverage scene that’ll never be boring.

Stops Along the Bend Ale Trail

Your all new Bend Ale Trail comes divvied up in territories to let you customize your exbeerience. Hike the Deschutes River Trail to get you fired up for The Riverlands, or get your waterfall fix in the Far North. Focus on one region to earn your territory prize, or hop around to hit your faves. That’s the beauty of the brand-new Bend Ale Trail— a customized beerventure that’s as unique as your taste in suds. And since you probably can’t hit them all in one visit, you’ll just have to come back. Bummer.
