6th Annual Central Oregon Winter Beer Festival – December 8, 2018
Get ready to enjoy the winter wonderland of Bend, Oregon when GoodLife Brewing hosts the 6th Annual Central Oregon Winter Beer Festival. Held in conjunction with Bigfoot Beverages, the 2018 Central Oregon Winter Beer Festival (COWBF) will take place on Saturday, December 8th from 2:00-9:00pm in the parking lot out front of GoodLife Brewing.
COWBF is a fundraiser for the Central Oregon Brewers Guild, COBG, that works to bring outside awareness to Central Oregon by focusing on the local craft beer culture, with a mission to drive tourism and commerce to Central Oregon, as well as surrounding Oregon communities. The COBG is composed of people working at Central Oregon breweries and was formed to give Central Oregon beer a united voice.
Each December the COWBF showcases seasonal and specialty beers brewed in celebration of the holiday season. Admission to COWBF is $15.00 and attendees will receive a commemorative COWBF mug and 5 drink tokens. Each additional token will cost $1.00 each. The festival will be in a heated tent provided by Incredible Events with live music and a DJ playing throughout the day and night. In addition to the beer Ski’s Pierogi, Das Brat, and Parrilla Grill will be serving up delicious food on site.
At last years festival 22 breweries poured its beers to over 1,000 attendees, and this year is going to be even bigger with the addition of a few new partner sponsors. For 2018, COWBF have added new sponsors Pro Caliber Motorsports and Cascadia Vehicle Tents who will be bringing some of their goods to show off, while Skjersaa’s Ski and Snowboard Shop will be waxing skis and snowboards for $5.00.
Festival organizers are still seeking volunteers to pour at the Central Oregon Winter Beer Festival. To sign up as a volunteer, please email Lauranne “Lou” Crooks at cobg.lou@gmail.com.
