Trek the Largest Beer Trail in the West

Bend Ale Trail

Celebrating 10 Years of the Bend Ale Trail

In our little mountain town of more than 87,000 people, Bend has a startling abundance of world-class breweries clustered close together like the gold at the end of a big, beer rainbow. Founded in 2010 with 6 breweries, the Bend Ale Trail was the first Ale Trail in the West and only second in the nation. Today, it proudly includes 22 breweries and ranges from Sunriver to Sisters to Redmond and, of course, Bend.

Some say it is the pure mountain water that makes our beer so tasty. Others say it is the spirit of exploration and curiosity in our brewers who are always looking for new ways to innovate. What we know for sure is we are really lucky to have so many tasty options to choose from when it comes to beer.

Grab your passport and start making your way along the Bend Ale Trail.

From crisp lagers to creamy porters, we’ve got your personal beervana right here.

How it Works

Pick Up a Map & Passport

It’s important to keep in mind, too that you don’t overdo it. No purchase is necessary to complete the Ale Trail, all you’ve got to do is stamp your passport at each location. It’s probably not wise to attempt the entire Bend Ale Trail in one day. Luckily Bend is home to many great hotels & motels, resorts, vacation rentals, and even B&Bs. Find your perfect place to rest up along the Bend Ale Trail on our Where to Stay page.

Collect 10 Stamps

Got stamps from 10 breweries? Awesome! Pat yourself on the back, then stop by or send your completed passport to the Bend Visitor Center (please note Bend Visitor Center hours of operation) to receive your prize, a commemorative Bend Silipint! Got stamps from all 18 breweries? Rock on with your bad self! Not only do you get the Silipint, we’ll also give you a nifty Bend Ale Trail bottle opener.

Please Drink Responsibly

Nothing puts a damper on a Bend vacay like jail time or being dead. Let’s not do that, K? For the rugged, might we suggest a walking tour of the Bend Ale Trail? And for those who want a lift, from taxis to ubers to organized tours, we’ve got lots of ways to ensure you never get behind the wheel with a belly full of beer.

How to Get Around

‌

Be A Designated Bend Ale Trail Champion

Before you hit the Bend Ale Trail, make sure you’re doing so responsibly. Bend locals always know to leave the driving to someone else, your lucky designated driver.

To say thanks for their heroic act of schlepping folks safely around the Bend Ale Trail, we’ve got a special prize just for the DD. Here’s how you can earn your HydroFlask True Pint:

Pick a designated driver. The designated driver is someone who is not drinking ANY alcohol for that entire day and is responsible for transporting his/her group safely along the Bend Ale Trail.
Use the passport to collect your special “Designated Driver” stamps. You will need to declare yourself as the designated driver to the brewery staff to get this stamp.
Collect a minimum of 10 DD stamps from the Bend Ale Trail brewery locations and redeem your passport at the Bend Visitor Center for your unique Designated Driver prize. Your passport must have only DD stamps on it in order to claim your prize.

There are also no shortage of safe and knowledgeable tour operators who are here to make your experience just that much better. They’ll set you up in style in a cushy bus, a snazzy towncar, or even a Cycle Pub. If you’d prefer to hoof it, start from downtown Bend where more than two-thirds of the breweries are within walking distance.

Stops Along the Bend Ale Trail

Count ‘em, one, two, three…oh, never mind. Suffice it to say, Bend has a heckuva lot of breweries. If you can’t hit them all in one visit, you’ll have to come back. Darn.
