Video and photos of Deschutes wall smashing
Deschutes Brewery is adding a major expansion to their original Bend Public House, and Monday evening they held a “wall smashing ceremony” (akin to a groundbreaking) to celebrate the final weeks of the construction process.

Back in July during the Oregon Brewers Festival I also had a list of Portland breweries that I wanted to try to visit (as if drinking for days at the Brewfest wasn’t enough!), and Burnside Brewing Company was near the top of that list. Open for only a year, Burnside … Continue reading
