Each year, Central Oregon Beer Week grows by leaps and hops as Central Oregon hit the 26th craft brewery mark. From the kick-off bash and SMaSH Beer Fest at McMenamins to special brewery tastings and The Stoic Release party at Deschutes Brewery where they’ll unveil their Belgian-Style Quad, The Stoic.

Earn your badge of liquid courage during the event by checking in to “unlock” the Central Oregon Beer Week Untappd badge at many of the participating breweries and events around town. Untappd is a free beer app where you can rate your favorites beers and breweries.

While you’re sampling some of the best beer in Oregon, you could also be earning a collectible Bend Ale Trail Silipint and other beer swag when you complete the world-famous Bend Ale Trail – the largest and toughest beer trail in the West. You can pick up your Atlas and Passport at any participating brewery kiosk and the Bend Visitor Center, or download the free Bend Ale Trail app for Android or iTunes.
