Join Head-Brewer Mike Branes and his partners in brewing McKean Banzer-Lausberg, Colin Rath and Sales Manager Eric Banzer-Lausberg for an evening of beer tasting and knowledge. Migration celebrated their 1st Anniversary on Feb. 19th and brewed a special Russian Imperial Stout to mark the occasion. We will be pouring the Anniversary Stout along with other Migration brews and the brewers will be hand to answer questions about the beers and what the next year holds in store for Migration Brewing. Of course there will be a few beer-related prizes given out too! Cheers!

Coming up this weekend, Max’s Fanno Creek Brewpub returns with their three-day Nano Beer Fest February 25th-27th.

“Giraffe on Ice Skates” to celebrate the OnPoint Bend WinterFest on January 29, 2011

Saturday, January 29 at the Deschutes pubs in both Bend and Portland is Bend WinterFest day. Purchase a pint of Giraffe on Ice Skates (a special beer brewed up just to Read More…

Hello sour beer lovers! There is lots going on at the Barrel House this week, and we’ve outlined it all for you here…
If you haven’t yet attended our weekly “Tap It Tuesday” program – where we tap a live barrel of something really amazing – then make it a point to attend tonight, when we’ll tap a barrel of Cherry Bain de Brugge. This little brother of Bourbonic Plague, 2009 Bain de Brugge is a spiced porter with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, orange peel and star anise, additionally aged on cherries. Look for hints of cherry sweetness throughout the deep maltiness of this cellared beer. The cherries appear again in the finish and leave a lingering sour coating on the palate. This is a single barrel project, one you won’t want to miss. Tap It Tuesday takes place every Tuesday at 6 pm.
