This local favorite has deep roots in the region and a strong community vibe. Their Redmond pub is a convenient stop from Eagle Crest and features a full food menu and year-round beers like the Pineapple Kush IPA and Blonde Bombshell. Bonus: they’re a sustainability-focused brewery and Central Oregon’s first not-for-profit beer company.

Their cozy taproom and outdoor patio make it a great place to relax with a pint of their award-winning IPA, porter, or rotating seasonal brew. Friendly, unpretentious, and proudly independent.
Boneyard Beer – Bend
