Silver Moon Brewing Hosts Festive Féte of Coffee Beers Complemented by Doughnuts

Oregon’s renowned coffee beer and doughnut festival returns to Central Oregon for the 2nd Annual Baker’s Dozen Fest-Bend. The event features three things Oregonians do best: beer, coffee, and doughnuts, each represented by a baker’s dozen artisans. The name is a throwback to when bakers, to thank their customers, would throw in an extra something-something when they purchased a dozen (12). Attendees suffer no FOMO; admission includes samples of absolutely everything including many of the specific coffee roasts featured in the beers. The festival again takes place at Silver Moon Brewing (24 NW Greenwood Ave.) on Sat, May 20, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets are available online for $40 at Bendticket/events/BakersDozenFest (and will be $50 at the door IF available but it’s expected to sell out.)

This year’s line-up features breweries from within Bend, around Oregon, and even one from Seattle for a pan-PNW celebration. Each beer incorporates a different local roaster’s beans. Beer samples come in three-ounce pours, roasters will be pouring unlimited coffee samples of the cuppajoe used in the beers, and delectable doughnut morsels will be quartered since who can possibly eat 13 whole doughnuts (but maybe 13 doughnut holes). The lineup is subject to change:

  • Bevel Vietnamese coffee stout made with Lens Coffee
  • Boneyard coffee stout made with Third Rock Coffee Roasters
  • Breakside barrel-aged imperial coffee-chai stout made with Thornton Family Coffee
  • Coldfire Brewing (from Eugene) imperial coffee stout made with Eugene’s Tailored Coffee
  • Deschutes coffee porter made with Nossa Familia Coffee.
  • Fremont (from Seattle) barrel-aged winter ale with coffee and cinnamon featuring Lighthouse Coffee
  • Goodlife made with Dutch Bros.
  • Kobold latte stout made with Lone Pine Coffee
  • McMenamins Old St. Francis f/ McMenamins Coffee
  • Monkless Brewing coffee quadruple ale made with Backporch Coffee
  • Silver Moon bourbon-maple barrel-aged coffee stout
  • Van Henion Schwarzbier made with Thump Coffee
  • Worthy made with Bohemian Wood-fired Roastery

Doughnuts will be provided by Anita’s Kitchen, Chalk to Flour Bakery, Delish Donuts, Deschutes Brewery (yes, Deschutes’ pub is making a chocolate-frosted Black Butte Porter Crème doughnut exclusively for the fest), Halo Donuts, Hola! Little Pine Donuts, Monkless Brasserie, Richards Pastries and Doughnuts, Sisters Bakery, Sweetheart Donuts, Too Sweet Cakes and Wickiup Junction for a lineup that may cause some people to refer to this beerfest as a doughnut fest.

This event benefits The Rawley Project a non-profit animal protection and welfare organization created to rescue dogs that may be suffering from a life of cruelty, neglect and abandonment and strives to serve our community by providing protection and refuge for pets with humans in crisis through the foster program.
