IPA
Stephen D.

They have a big back area with plenty of seating and a food truck. Beer was okay, not bad but not great either. I was good for one and then that was it for me. The unattended kids were a nice touch to try and enjoy a beer. I asked about the Bend Ale Trail code and the server wasn't aware of it. I would think that as much as they promote the Ale Trail that everyone would know the code. If you have kids this place is great. But if you are looking to chill in a quiet place, this place isn't it.

Good Life has an amazing happy hour menu, we got there 10 min before ending and the staff was quick to get our food and drink orders in so we wouldn't miss it, than you for that!!! The nachos were delicious, I added pork which gave it the perfect sustenance. Great drink menu, I enjoyed their stout. The gals in our group had their seltzers and raved too.

Spent Grain Pretzel

We were in town for a concert (daughter's graduation present) and decided to spend a few extra days (my bonus). We hit a few breweries while in town and I have missed stopping here the past few visits. Went inside to order, and interacted with a very friendly and knowledgeable man. We grabbed our drinks, ordered a pretzel and found a seat on the patio. The drinks were great. The pretzel arrived quickly and tasted great. I loved the use of the flaked sea salt. So many places you rock salt (blech). It was a quick stop, but a good one.

We came in on our Bend beer crawl. Small tasting room up front and huge outdoor space in the back with games, a food truck and potties. Great area for kids and dogs and relaxing while enjoying your food and beverages. The beer was good, service was excellent.

Beer is great! Service was the best. We went to 4 breweries a few weekends ago and this place had the best service and everything was delicious and fast! It was during the 49ers and Seahawks game, so they were busy.

Our last brewery visit in Bend was GoodLife Brewing Company, one that was special to me. This brewery was the creator of the Best of Craft Beer Awards, a large commercial beer competition that has since become independent. I wanted to check out the brewery itself, so we decided to have a late lunch here and were glad we came hungry. It's located in a little business plaza that felt commercial/industrial but still welcoming for outdoor fun with other businesses nearby. It was cold that day, but you could clearly see on a nice day the big garage doors would be open giving the whole taproom fresh air. The bar is big and shaped like an L along the back wall, with a door heading to the brewery itself behind. Mug club mugs were hanging everywhere, a great sign that it's a local favorite. We sat at a high top and each had a giant flight of 6 beers, plus all the food- I had a delicious sandwich and salad with fresh produce. Everything was delicious and this place ended up being a big hit. The bartenders were welcoming and super attentive the whole time, keeping us fed and laughing. Merchandise is also available. We had a great time here; if you're in Bend for the beer, this is a must-visit place.

You don't have to choose between great beers and great food! This place has it all. Get a flight! With a flight, you can get 6 different beers of your choice. One of the beers that I had was the Orange DreamZwickel. I loved it! If you're a fan of orange soda, you'd love this too. It's so orange forward and refreshing. I also got their wings (in sweet ass Habanero) and they were good! I didn't think that 6 wings would be enough, but I was surprised that it was actually more satisfying than I expected. 8 would be better but at least I wasn't that hungry at the end of 6.

Hamburger, freshly ground for order, half pork belly, half beef. Pure deliciousness

Great food and excellent beverage options. WARNING: The burger is not for a "first date" or similar experience. You will want to savor every bite. You might let some of the juice run down your chin. You might have to close your eyes while chewing. You really should only order this if dining on your own or with good friends. The burger: freshly ground, half pork belly, half beef. Fixings included blue cheese and caramelized onions, mayo. It's been a week and I'm still thinking about.

Great beer, great service, great food. Real comfortable place to sit and have a brew. I moved to Bend 12 years ago and this was one of the first places I found. It impressed me then and still does. Say "Hi" to bartender "Chris."

IPA's are great. Was able to taste the one stout they had which was pretty decent. Great outdoor seating area with fire pit. Wish it was a little closer to the register. Service was great.

Always our go to first stop in Bend! Quick river or bike from the river bend area. The Beach Life POG style pale sipped great on a warm summer day. The chicken wrap and pretzel filled me up very satisfied. A top brewery in PNW

The past week I have visited twice, since their outdoor remodel is completing, and they have new food trucks becoming part of the team. I am so excited for the changes that have been made and the new food trucks joining the absolutely fabulous El Sancho truck. As for the brews, Crux always has a selection of great IPAs, they also have some innovative brews, such as Bochi Bochi, a rice lager, and (though not often) make truly spectacular ambers and browns. Do yourself a favor and drop by for a pint and/or a meal, you will be glad you did.

Serves food and also may have a food truck open. Our last visit we enjoyed the bowl of chili and Caesar salad was all A-OK. The staff was helpful even when busy. Interesting to note, it's like all the beer drinker mt bike folks that used to all come here years ago just happened to grow up and have kids at once, so now it definitely has a very kids playground scene, but I still think it's cool here. (Just go inside to avoid the mayhem. lol!) It's sweet that they create a fun environment outside there. A suggestion maybe would be create a small section outside. that's a no kid table for sunshine and drinking too. ;) it looks like they're making good use of their space. I noticed many changes since the last visit. Looks like they have a party room you could rent, lots of fun well designed swag for purchase, ect. Crux will be always be on my brewery list for Bend, I will perhaps just avoid peak weekend hours. Cheers!

Yay! It was the best veggie burger my husband has had in a long time... he added avocado and vegan cheese (which did make it a bit pricey). Awesome that you can do many different sides including regular fries, Cajun fries, salad, chips, and more options... do wish they had onion rings however. I got the hummus plate which was good but not the best I've had. It came with a baguette which was more like garlic bread so I would have, personally, liked pita more. It also had a few olives on the side with a red pepper type sauce. I got it with no pickled onions. They had a great beer selection and even a few tasty non-alcoholic beers. Also had kombucha on tap which was delicious (from Humm). Everyone working was super sweet and the vibes were relaxed and casual. Our food came out quick and exactly how we ordered it. They also seemed to have spaces for larger parties, too. They also have a little gift shop if you wanted to pick anything from shirts, to bottle openers, to beer candles and more! Would come back again!

The venue was small but perfect for the DIY punk/metal bands playing. We were also very impressed at how quickly each band was able setup and breakdown, so no long waits in between bands. It was obvious the organizers knew what they were doing. The venue had a small bar inside so you didn't have to go to the main building to grab a drink. Outside, between the two buildings there were nice seating areas alongside fire pits and access to multiple food trucks. There was even a third stage in the outside area that must be used in warmer weather. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely come back!

The beer is good and they even have some liquor for cocktails, and a few N/A options as well. I've never had a bad time here.

So on our last trip to Bend we finally made it here to the their taproom and it didn't disappoint at all. It was a great stop! We got a taster set of a variety of different beers that they had on tap and they were all quite good. Many of them have a wild ale aspect to them which I can appreciate at you don't come across this beer too much on a routine basis. The taproom is cool and I love all of their art specifically where fermentation liquids spilled onto a sheet or a cloth making various designs and hues during the brewing making process of their beers. Other excellent beers that we have had from this brewery are the Samalie which is a Wild Ale. This one I rated very highly on Untappd because it was so amazing! Things to look for in the flavor profile are sourness, tartness, fruitiness, a natural sweetness and a dry finish. Really an excellent beer! Moving on from that we had the great Ping Pong Table Beer. This was another beer I rated quite highly and enjoyed immensely. This beer is light bodies, smooth and effervescent with the flavor of elderflower at work. Another excellent beer! Definitely great beer experiences with this brewery and definitely recommend it to the more adventurous beer drinking folks. There are plenty of breweries to try out in Bend and if you are looking for something on the more unusual side The Ale Apothecary is a great place for such a thing!
