Central Oregon Beer Week events, Wednesday, May 23

Central Oregon Beer WeekCentral Oregon Beer Week continues, with more great events lined up for today, Wednesday the 23rd. Unfortunately though, the Wanderlust Backstage Beer Tour didn’t get enough numbers to make it a go, so they were not able to do that tour this time around, which is a shame because that sounded really cool.

    Anyone who completes the Bend Ale Trail during the Week will get a special, limited edition Bend Ale Trail koozie!
  • Specials at Cascade West
    Cascade West will have 12 of their 32 tap handles dedicated to the local breweries and sell drafts for $3.00 all week open to close (11am to midnight).
