It's been nearly three years since revelers last gathered in the Old Mill District to celebrate Bend Brewfest, a stretch set to come to an end May 13-14 when more than 65 breweries and cider houses from throughout the Pacific Northwest will gather to pour 100-plus beers, ciders, and seltzers on the banks of the Deschutes River. It's been a long time coming, says Beau Eastes, marketing director for the Bend Brewfest. "We couldn't be happier to be back," Eastes says about this year's festival, which also coincides with Bend's iconic Pole Pedal Paddle multi-sport race, held May 14 in the Old Mill District. "The beer list for this year's event is spectacular," he adds. "Von Ebert, Great Notion, Alesong, Boneyard, Spider City, Ale Apothecary, Fremont, pFriem, to name a few – it really is a collection of the most exciting and innovating breweries in the Pacific Northwest."
