Bend Ale Trail
A 'beer city' with one of the highest concentrations of breweries per capita in the United States. Collect stamps at dozens of breweries along the Bend Ale Trail, with Deschutes Brewery as the flagship.
Bend is a major craft beer hub in the American West. The Bend Ale Trail links 20 to 30 breweries in the city and its surroundings. You can pick up a passport at the visitor center or through the official app, and collect stamps to redeem for souvenirs. The best-known brewery, Deschutes Brewery, was founded in Bend in 1988, and its Black Butte Porter is hugely popular. You can taste beer at downtown pubs, or visit the production base in the southwest of town. Many breweries cluster in the old town and the Old Mill District, and you can connect them on foot or by bike. Never drive after drinking.
