The list BOR ran was from a Word document Lay It Out Events sent out; it’s more of the marketing piece, while the list on the site includes a few more beers. With that in mind, here’s a simplified easy-to-read list of the beers that will be available gleaned from the two sources; for more info on the beers, visit those pages.

Interesting to note the number of sour beers this year; note that sour beer is an acquired taste, and it may well not be your thing, so make sure you know what you’re getting.

The Little Woody takes place this Friday, September 3rd, from 5 to 10pm and Saturday, September 4th, from noon to 10pm, on the lawn of the Deschutes Historical Museum.

But tonight Google News links me to this just-released press release that gives us all the details:

Bend, Oregon has added a new restaurant, TuckMo Subs and Sandwiches, locally owned by Mark and Jamie Carothers and managed by sons, Tucker and Morgan, at the corner of Highway 20 and Dean Swift Road in Bend alongside Longboard Louie’s East, expanding the menu of dining options for Bend’s eastside residents, students and professionals.

TuckMo’s signature subs are made-to-order with only the freshest, ingredients on local bakery breads. Carothers and his boys recommend trying the cold subs “TuckMo style”, with TuckMo’s combination of lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices.

TuckMo Subs and Sandwiches will be inviting the public in for a free compact sub and medium fountain drink at its “Opening Taster” Event on Saturday, September, 4th between 10am and 3pm at its new location: 62090 Dean Swift Road, Bend, 97701.
TuckMo is now officially open to the public from 10am – 7pm Monday through Friday, and from 10:00am to 3:00pm on weekends.

The language of the press release makes it sound like it’s a chain restaurant, or at least the start of one. I don’t know about that, but I’ll be curious to try their food sometime, especially since the Eastside could really use another sandwich shop besides Subway.

Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster and down at the Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District. Ticketmaster’s price just told me $57, while on the Les Schwab site they say $48.50 for general admission, $79.50 reserved.

The show starts at 6, and gates open at 5.

Then on Sunday, the 29th, the Amphitheater sees country star Clint Black show up, with special guest Luke Bryan. Shifting gears a bit from the Dylan/Mellencamp concert, but I’m quite sure they won’t be lacking for an audience either.

Show starts at 6:30 with gates open at 5.

On Ticketmaster, it’ll cost you $68.25 (all they have left is reserve seats); the Les Schwab site indicates $36 general admission (for the Ticket Mill, if there are any left).

Wednesday the 25th, starting at 5, is their monthly limited-edition beer tasting:

Once a month, on Last Wednesdays, stop by to try a limited-edition, special release beer. And when the keg is kicked, that’s it. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

That’s the free event—of course, you may well want to buy an appetizer or two and perhaps a full pint of one of their other beers.

Then on Thursday the 26th, is a Scotch and Cigar Tasting: $50 for a reservation, and it starts at 7.

Sample a selection of scotches, partake of hearty appetizers and finish out the evening with cigars.

Scotches
Cardhu 12 yr
Caol Ila 12 yr
Cragganmore 12 yr
Talisker 10 yr
Oban 14 yr

Appetizers
Prosciutto, fig jam & goat cheese crostini
Prawn wontons
Mini buffalo burger
House-smoked salmon cakes
Blackberry-honey panna cotta

Reservations can be made by emailing specialevents@mcmenamins.com or by calling the property directly. Vegetarian options may be available; please inquire when making your reservation.

Beer, scotch and cigars… it’s hard to go wrong with that.

Sunday

• The only thing on the calendar is the free beer tasting at Newport Market, from 3:30 until 6.

Kind of sparse on the calendar this week. Don’t forget to check out the free summer guide for other things to do!

Honorable mention is Central Oregon Athlete, which deserves the accolades just as much, if not more.

A big thank you to everyone who voted! Seriously, this blog is fun to write, but it’s really all of the great feedback and interaction from you that makes it great, and it wouldn’t be nearly the blog that it is without it.

The event officially starts at 6:00pm with live performances by local musicians – with each night featuring a different musical guest who will double as the MC for the evening. Movies will begin at dusk and there will be a brief intermission. There will be dinner food, dessert, and kettle korn available from one of many restaurants on site.

Be sure to come early to find a good parking spot, and bring a coat as the nights can get chilly. We also recommend you bring a blanket to sit on or a low-backed chair, so it does not block the view of other moviegoers.

There are four weeks of Munch and Movies, and while the C3 Events website doesn’t list them (which would be awfully convenient), fortunately the Northwest Crossing site does:

• August 13: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
• August 20: Monsters vs. Aliens
• August 27: Up
• September 3: The Wizard of Oz

All very family-friendly, and the movies all show on a big 40 by 20-foot screen.

They all take place at Compass Park in Northwest Crossing.

Food will be on hand, and in addition to beer there will be cider (from Crispin Cider Company) and wine (from Volcano Vineyards). There are hints of live music on the website as well, but they don’t have that posted yet. Kids are welcome up until 7pm, as long as parents sign a pledge certifying that the kids won’t drink alcohol.

You might remember that the Brewfest was canceled last year by the OLCC due, in part, to intoxicated minors; hence the pledge-signing this year.

Friday

Free T-Shirt to the first 300 attendees.

The Bend Elks will be donating a portion of their proceeds from this evening to our local Walk to Defeat ALS chapter. BIG Thanks to the Bend Elks for helping us in our fight to find a cure for ALS.

Come on out, watch the game, grab a hot dog while supporting ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).

The Elks are playing the Wenatchee AppleSox. In order to sweeten the deal, it’s also $2 Tuesday on Saturday—they’ll have all the $2 Tuesday deals.

GRAB YOUR FLOATIES, KAYAKS, CANOES AND PADDLE BOARDS TO RACE FOR THE RIVER!
We are launching a brand new event this year that is sure to be a community favorite. Starting at Riverbend Park, racers will vie for the number one position in several different heats ending in the Les Schwab Amphitheater. Food, beverages, live music and fun will follow at a community wide celebration in the heart of the Old Mill District in the Central Plaza.

Cost:
$15 per person
$20 with your dog
(All participants racing with their dog will receive a Ruff Wear Float Coat as part of their entry fee.)
$50 per corporate team (5-6 people)

Race Time: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Old Mill Celebration: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

There is also an “Open Swim” option on the event poster, as well as note of a beer garden.

No indication of how this will work with regular folks who just want to float the River (from Riverbend Park) on Saturday; presumably the race participants will be wearing numbers of some sort. But couldn’t there be a conflict if regular floaters get in the way of racers and vice-versa?
