The tour was extremely informational, the guide did a wonderful job and knew the business very well. The free beer and samples were good and I don't drink beer normally but I did have the Lemonade one and it was very good. I did enjoy it. When the tour was over they gave us a 15% off coupon to visit their downtown, original brewery site and we had dinner there which was also excellent. I would do this again and highly recommend it if you are in Bend. read more

Stopped by the Deschutes Brewery Tasting Room for their brewery tour on a weekday! Tour started at 4pm, and we were given a choice between four different beers to sip along the way. I opted for the Patagonia Provisions Organic Lager, and it was light and refreshing. Our tour guide was very informative and high energy. You can tell that employees take a lot of pride, especially since they're dubbed co-owners. The tour included a walk through of how beer is made and a peek inside their facilities. I'm not new to beer, so I wasn't sure how much I'd learn; however, my interest was piqued when our tour guide started talking about how sustainable Deschutes' practices are. They even treat their own water! We had some tastes along the way. My only critique is that our tour felt long (~ 2 hours) and there weren't many spots to sit, so be prepared to be on your feet the entire time. My partner and I stopped by the tasting room after - we didn't buy any cans, but enjoyed sampling the latest party bombs on tap. I loved the frozen version too! We left with merch, coupons for their downtown brewpub, and exclusive tour stickers! read more

We took the barrel tasting tour which was excellent. Many different types of pours were provided throughout the tour and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the brewing process, history of the company and what it does to stay competitive in a challenging market. read more

We stopped by here to get a tour on a Saturday afternoon but they were fully booked. I had the White Peach Bellini Farmhouse Ale & he had the King Crispy Pilsner. Lately I've enjoyed the taste of a fruity beer/cider. The Peach Bellini was definitely a girly beer. read more

Deschutes. King of the brewery's and never disappoints. The tasting room is solid, tons of options to choose from and some good food options too. Since moving away, I do miss going here read more

Wow! I gotta confess, as much as I love Deschutes beer, I wasn't really expecting much from the tour because I generally have a "been on one brewery tour, been on them all" attitude. Basically, I was just there for the complimentary can of beer that tour-goers receive. Well, folks, I was wrong! This tour and experience was fantastic all around. From our fabulous tour guide, to a well-organized look inside the inner workings of an iconic PNW brewery, to learning about (and viewing the originals of) some of their legendary beer labels, this tour was 5 stars all around. We started by needing to make a reservation in advance. It's $10/person, which is the first time I've actually paid for a brewery tour. We gathered in their tiny tasting room awaiting the start of the tour, and were then each handed our free beer to carry around on the tour. We started with a brief history of the brewery (and getting to see one of their first brewhouses, where og Deschutes brewing staff lugged HEAVY bags of ingredients up a steep, circular staircase), then wandered through the newer/larger brewery that produces all the favorites (Deschutes Black Butte Porter, I'm looking at you). We saw the very scientific-looking beer tasting area, the giant tanks and hoppers where the beer is created, and even their huge bottling operation (which, sadly for us, was not in operation on this particular Friday because it would have been SUPER cool to see in action). Near the end of the tour, we entered the Deschutes HQ offices and got to see years worth of original artist drawings for their annually-released Jubelale. It was so interesting to hear the stories of how, originally, they commissioned only local artists, then moved on to Oregon artists, and recently opened up the competition to artists across the US. Our tour guide was engaging, informative, and funny. I believe his name was Cayden or Caleb - I am SO horrible with names. Please forgive me. But give this dude a raise (or at least tip him which very few on our tour did). This is a tour I would happily do again! read more

The tour was the perfect length (60 min). Our tour guide was exceptional, she was informative and entertaining. The tastings were great and a generous serving size. I would highly recommend taking this tour if you're in the area. Go online and make your reservation. And for planning purposes, they have a couple of food trucks in their parking lot for a lil snack before or after the tour and there is a bar area set up to have a beer, do a little shopping, and play cards to wait. read more

Always a good time! Do the tour, kick it with the awesome staff, sample their amazing beers, enjoy the space and buy some merch. A killer experience, always! read more

The tour is so educational and we got to sample some. We only got the general brewery tour. I think because we got the tour on the weekend so we could not see bottling process in action. They have a room/lab for research and development. I also found out that they had some of R&D beers available at the tasting room in the same building. read more

Real comfortable tasting room with numerous choices of beers from the Deschutes Brewery. Service is spot on and they are willing to help you make a decision based on your tastes. If you want to take a tour of the brewery, just sign up, it's free. I've taken it before on more than one occasion and it's pretty darn informative and interesting. There are two food carts outside featuring a Vietnamese food and smash burgers, both of which appear to be very popular right now. Cheers! read more

If you're visiting Bend, one of the greatest beer cities in the world, you have to visit Deschutes Brewery. A classic and still excellent brewery, the original location is now the Public House - a restaurant and beer bar. This location is the new larger brewery itself, complete with Tasting Room and merchandise store. We arrived late in the morning and opted to take the tour: $10 includes the tour, a beer of your choice, a koozie for the beer, and tour sticker; each thing is exclusive to this location. The tour itself is really worthwhile, even if you've done dozens of other brewery tours, namely to see their intricate canning line and all the artwork from past labels including the originals of each year of Jubelale. The tasting room itself is popular with visitors and locals alike. It's worth a stop even if you aren't taking the tour as they offer exclusive small batch beers on tap and no where else in the world, even their other locations. They have a fully stocked fridge of fresh cans as well. The vintage bottle selection is also fully stocked and cheap with most coming in at $15, well below bottle shop prices if you can even find them. Merchandise is everywhere: hats, shirts, sweatshirts, beer stuff, even three packs of specially selected bottles. This is an awesome place to come. The desk agent, tour guide, and bartender were all super friendly and knowledgeable about the place, and funny. Parking is free and right outside. I was also told the burger and Vietnamese food trucks offer incredible food but both were closed that day. We had some snacks like soft pretzels before our tour, then more drinks after. For any beer fan, this is a must visit stop in Bend. read more

Came for a brewery tour. The whole experience was great. Got to taste some samples BEFORE the tour. You also get a choose a beer and drink it during the tour. Our tour guide was great and the tour is very informative. It's very clear that the brewery is very proud of the fact that it is family and employee owned and take pride in their beers, customer service and community involvement. This is one of the best brewery tours I've been on. read more

I visited briefly for some beer and lunch at the food trucks outside. The bar staff was friendly and provided lots of free samples before I picked a beer. I had a lager and an IPA and both were solid. The tasting room is pretty small inside, with about 20 seats, plus some outdoor seats. Not much to say -- it's a solid brewery tasting room and your enjoyment will depend on how much you like their beers. read more

Fantastic experience! Definitely would recommend going on the tour. Lots of great information if you're new to the brewing scene and lots of detailed information if you're a beer geek like myself. read more

First night in Bend (this time) and decided to hit the Deschutes Tasting Room. My Gluten Free wife was excited to try their in-house GF beer and I am all about the IPAs. Nice location. A bit tucked in off the road, but easy to get into and find parking. There are a few good carts in the lot. Good inside is limited (pizza, pretzels, bar snack mix). I was very pleased to find a lot of IPAs to choose from (many I've had before) and settled in a "pub exclusive" Steele IPA. My wife was disappointed to learn their GF was blown out and the ciders were not available. Bummer for her. Still? A cool place. Very laid back vibe. Music playing in the background and LOTS of company beer and souvenirs to peruse and buy. read more

The food and beer here are excellent. I got the double smash burger and the garlic aioli on it was incredible. I got a flight to accompany the meal and I enjoyed every one of the brews.

What's better than getting beer from the source? Not much? The staff is friendly and the location contains some of their rarer beers like a 2011 The Abyss. Sample severa reserve beers or even everyday beers. You won't be able to get some of the stuff here in their Portland tasting rooms. Prices are cheaper than most tasting rooms at $4 for typical 12 oz pours and $7 for pilots and $7.50 for reserves and $6 for sours. read more

During my Oregon travels, this was one of my musts. I realize that they have other locations, but this is THE Deschutes Brewery tasting room in Deschutes. All of their brews on the menu were available for tasting, even their reserve series. So, aside from their porters and stouts, I had to try all of the reserve series. Mistake. Their sample trays are 4oz pours at $2.50 per pour, but keep the ABV in mind, especially when dealing with the reserve series; it starts at 8.1% and goes up to 10.7%. By the time I was done with my 6 pours, I was getting tipsy. My favorite goes to the Nitro Obsidian Stout, so creamy. The whisky butte porter came in a close second (I ended up with a 4 pack to go). Not usually a fan of the fruity brews, but the cherries jubelae was a surprising winner as well; it wasn't too fruit forward. As for the others on the reserve series, the fresh squeezed old fashioned was good, but I just couldn't handle the sourness of the dissident peach; perhaps I could have tolerated it better if it was summer weather? Doubtful. Lesson learned; venture into the unknown and try almost everything once, but don't be surprised if you don't like it. Smaller than anticipated indoor area, but it made for a more intimate experience with an attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. There's also a nice outdoor area with a bicycle repair area. No tours at the moment due to COVID and no food available when I visited. Thanks y'all for a wonderful visit. read more

Big Daddy of Bend breweries by volume - by the way a crafty selection of microbrews. Fun stop to sip up or slop down brewski at the tasting and garb room. Tours of brew and bottle operation too! A lively crowd of beer tasters today, as Deschutes says " good beer brings people together!" read more

Our guide was great, funny, and engaging. The tour was very informative and just perfect length, not too long where it's boring not too short where you want more. After the tour my partner got a flight and we sat inside with our pup, the entrance area is dog friendly. The place is cute with so much swag to purchase. Everyone there was nice and helpful.

Best brewery tour I have ever done. Very educational as well as fun. Caden was an excellent tour guide.

My friends and I came to Bend from Portland for a day trip and came for a 3pm tour! I honestly was blown away and had a lot of fun on the tour. My favorite tour before this was Sierra Nevada in Chico, and this one was similar! Remember - this isn't the restaurant in Bend that serves food (although that's pretty close by) Even if you're not coming for the tour, if you're just looking to drink good Deschutes Beer, coming to the tasting room is better than going to the restaurant (there's no wait to get your beer, you can taste as many things as you want, there's a lot of merchandise to peruse through, and they have their top beers as well as more obscure ones on tap). On the tour, you get a choice between a can of Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Fresh Squeezed IPA, and Pacific Wonderland Lager (the 3 beers they sell in canned form) to take on the tour with you. I went on a Saturday where almost the entire brewer force was out at a conference so I didn't get to see the canning lines and everything in action, but it was still pretty cool! Some things you get to see on the tour: - you get to taste wort (which tastes like nasty sugar water to me, but cool experience) - The tour guide will explain the ingredients in beer and tell you some fun facts about Deschutes (eg. they're building a new facility in Virginia, they add minerals to their water before using it in beer, etc.) - You get to smell hops and taste malted barley - You get to see where the beer is made! fun fun fun My tour guide was Cora and she was VERY enthusiastic and pretty entertaining. The facility is super clean, good vibes. Really great tour to do with some friends (and feel free to go brewery hopping right before! We hit up Boneyard before the tour and it was really close by). Some quality merchandise you can get in the tasting room area next to the lobby: $2 bottle opener key chain (worth!, great souvenir) $18 Deschutes dad hat (take advantage of the no sales tax) Overall, a great stop if you're doing a weekend/ day trip to Bend, bachelor party, whatever. read more

This wasn't the first time to this brewery. I actually visited a few years ago and took the tour, which i highly recommend. I learned so much about craft beer and how they make it. I mean, you think you know things... then you learn like all the other things you should have already known haha. Plus it's great to support an independent brewery. There are really not that many indie breweries left that are this big that haven't been bought by one of the bigger corporations. Anyway this time was just a stop in you the tasting room located adjacent to the brewery, to try the exclusives I can't get back home. I tried a few right at the bar. You can get a 12 oz or a 16 oz. They have all your flagship brews plus a few brewery exclusives that they don't distribute. There was a food truck outside for munchies, and tons of cool merch inside to buy. And what luck! On the day I decided to go, they had just canned the very first cans of Fresh Squeezed (which just happens to be my favorite beer they make and the IPA that got me into IPAs and hop profiles). They gave us all a can, and w had a ceremonial cheers to celebrate! What a cool company!! read more
