On May 13th and 14th 2022, the Bend Brewfest will be showing off some of the best west coast breweries in the Old Mill District of Bend along the pretty Deschutes River. This multi-day festival highlights a 'who's who' of large and small Pacific Northwest breweries, along with their creative craft beers.

Those visiting the Bend Brewfest this year will enjoy the X-Tap program, which is like a specialty beer festival within the Brewfest. X-Tap features small batch and experimental beers like Lump of Coal sour from Lompoc Brewing, which is an imperial porter fermented with sour cherries. X-Tap will be found in the Market of Choice Brewtality Tent where guests can speak to the brewers of these limited release beers.
