Ah, the month of November. The holidays are on the horizon, you’ve traded your flip flops for boots, and the ski season at Mt. Bachelor is nearly upon us. The best part about November, however, is that Bend Ale Trail Month is happening in the best mountain town in the world, right here in Bend, Oregon.

So, what makes November so special, and why dedicate a whole month to the Bend Ale Trail? Well, we’ll tell you why​:

Trophies. That’s right, trophies.

When you redeem your completed Bend Ale Trail passport at the Bend Visitor Center during the month of November, not only are you awarded the standard prizes like a Silipint, a fantastic bottle opener, and a sticker, but you also get a little award. You know, something that you can display proudly to your friends and say ‘That’s right, I’m a Bend Ale Trail champion.’

Contests and prizes

During Bend Ale Trail Month, share pictures of your beerventure on Instagram using the hashtag #bendaletrailmonth. We’ll randomly select winners to receive fantastic prizes including brewery gift cards, hydroflasks, ​Silipints, hats, shirt, stickers, and more.
