Bend Brewfest celebrates 10 years, expands offerings

May 30, 2013Jason Morgan

Bend Brewfest celebrates 10 years of bringing fine brews to the masses at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in the Old Mill District August 15-17. Event organizers expect the largest number of breweries ever, tipping the scales at more than 60 breweries pouring more than 140 delicious craft beers for attendees to sample over the course of the three-day festival. This year’s festival will also feature an expanded selection of hard-to-find, limited-release “X-Tap” beers from participating breweries.

“Over the past decade of hosting the event, we’ve seen tremendous growth in the industry. We’re excited to celebrate that growth with more breweries and beers than ever before,” said Marney Smith, director of the Bend Brewfest.

“The Bend Brewfest is a celebration of craft beer. Beer lovers can come down and meet the folks behind the breweries that make their favorite beer, discover new breweries, and sample some pretty amazing beer,” said Marney Smith, director of the Bend Brewfest. “Over the past decade of hosting the event, we’ve seen tremendous growth in the industry. We’re excited to celebrate that growth with more breweries and beers than ever before.”

In addition to participation from all but one of the local breweries, the Bend Brewfest welcomes 39 out-of-town craft brewers from elsewhere in the United States. From nano-breweries to top volume craft breweries, each brewery will be bringing its own special creations ranging from popular IPAs to German Radlers.

Check out the complete list of breweries and beverages. The festival will also feature three cider houses, two meaderies and a winery.

“The Bend Brewfest is volunteer-powered,” said Chelsea Woodmansee, volunteer coordinator for the Brewfest, which give proceeds to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon and Neighbor Impact. “We have the greatest volunteers on the planet. This year, with the expanded beer selection, we will need more 1,000 volunteers to make the event work. No experience is necessary. We will teach you anything you don’t already know about pouring beer, and we’ll all have fun in the process.”
