If you’re driving through Central OR, you’ll come through Bend,OR (the Ducks in this example) it’s packed full of 5* Breweries and is worth spending a day or 7 visiting. Everyone will tell you how great it is and blah blah blah.
But if you’re in a hurry and have one stop, make the slight detour and go to Redmond, OR (NDSU) it’s smaller, quiet and Wild Ride Brewing is the Trey Lance of central Oregon breweries. They’re killing it this year, making great beer. Geist, Kobold/the Vault, and Initiative Brewing are smaller but all pack a serious punch. Jersey Boys Pizza across the street from Initiative has one of the best tap lists in the state. If you’re there early in the day, eat at One Street Down.
You can’t really go wrong with either choice but my money on my last visit was spent on the little guy.
Wild rides nut cruncher porter is delicious.
