As previously mentioned (see, Leavenworth Ale Fest, Best in Show) Deschutes just keeps on winning. The setting this time is within the virtual pages of MatadorTrips.com and their Top 20 Microbreweries in America.

"MatadorTrips.com was created for travelers who want to get off the tourist trail and enjoy an authentic experience, but need detailed and accurate information in order to get the most out of a tight schedule.

Our destination guides are short, specific and totally honest." -source Matadortrips.com

     I won't go on and on about how great the brewery is or give a diverse history of Deschutes and its origins, instead I will regurgitate what was already spoken about them.

"10. Deschutes Brewery & Public House, Bend, Oregon

Bend has become synonymous with rec-head culture. At Deschutes you’ll find friends recounting the day’s rides along McKenzie River Trail or how the world looked from atop one of the Three Sisters.

While the Deschutes brewery has a nice taproom, its Public House offers special brews — like cask-conditioned ales — that the brewery doesn’t."  -source, Matadortrips.com

     Congrats to Gary and the rest of the gang at the 'little' pub in Bend, Oregon.

Cheers
