Flush with Fresh Hops Festivals - The Source - Bend, Oregon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are those who’ve equated Oregon’s fresh hops beers with Beaujolais Nouveau wines in Beaujolais, France, where Gamay grapes are grown. But whereas Beaujolais Nouveau is a wine celebration that honors the harvest by eschewing the mantra, “no wine before its time,” fresh hop beers represent the apex of tasting this year’s hop harvest at a near-impossible peak of perfection. The hops, after all, are lovingly introduced to brew kettles across Oregon (and most of the PNW) mere hours after being
Oregon Whiskey Festival Comes with Six-Year Age Statement - The Source - Bend, Oregon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oregon’s famous for creating many things, such as Marionberries, running shoes and goofy protesters. And while hoppy beers and structured wines are pillars of Oregon’s productivity, Oregon-made whiskey isn’t exactly on the national radar. It should be. And while Kentucky and Tennessee whiskeys are sought out nationwide (they used to be enjoyed worldwide, but in retaliation for punitive tariffs on all of our closest allies, the foreign market is drier than the 18th Amendment), the upside is we ge
Five Float Beers You Need This Summer - The Source - Bend, Oregon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Far be it for me or anyone to tell you what beer to drink and when. You want a double-digit ABV double IPA? Just know that the more alcohol you consume, the greater the risk of severe dehydration and, by extension, heat stroke you assume. Which is why the first hallmark of a good float beer is one that is lower in alcohol, so where you’re typical craft beer weighs it at 6% ABV or more, we’ll be looking at beers in the “low fives” or even in the four percent range. There’s the old joke about “wha
What Local, Award-Winning IPAs Tell Us About Beer in 2026 - The Source - Bend, Oregon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
First there was the English India Pale Ale, clocking in around 5% alcohol and boasting a hop bill only nominally bigger than a pale ale. Once discovered by American microbrewies, it still took decades to ascend as the powerhouse style of craft beer. Ever since — American IPA merely became the largest category at the Great American Beer Festival in the 21st century — IPA has branched out much like pizza has. Just like there’s New York thin crust, wood-fired Neapolitan, buttery Detroit-style and w
Pulse Check on Bend’s Brewery Scene - The Source - Bend, Oregon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, the married owners of Funky Fauna Artisan Ales, Michael Frith and Danielle Burns, shared on Instagram that after four years in business, they’re having a rough go even during summer’s high season in Bend’s hospitality industry. “We’ve experienced the slowest stretch in our li’l brewery’s history, including our slowest day on record.” To put a fine point on the record-low number of pints sold, the post specified one day’s receipts totaled $33. “All while our COGS (cost of goods sold)
