A guide to help plan the perfect tour!
Any stop in Central Oregon you will find great beer and amazing food and food trucks. It comes down to the little things. Do you like disc golf? Try Bevel, a brewery founded by world and national disc golf champions. There's even a putting course at the brewery. How about Spider City? Three women from Chico who started brewing over 16 years ago in their garage dubbed "Spider City" own, brew, and operate this amazing brewery. Bar games and fire pits, Bend's got you. No matter your taste, you'll find a variety of beer, ciders, and hard seltzers at almost every stop. And don't forget about the great wineries, distilleries, and my favorite... dive bars!
Below is a list of the most visited stops. Know what's out there, pick what looks fun! Change it up as you go?! If you are taking a stab at the Ale Trail, tackle it one "district" at a time. Do you want a little of everything.... try Industrial Way with bars, breweries, wineries, distilleries, and food trucks all in one stop.
Remember it's about the journey not the destination, and the great friends and family you share it with! Anywhere you go, you are going to have the best time of your life!
*Most breweries close at 9p in the winter and 10p in the summer*
