About the Bend Ale Trail
Launched in 2010 as the first beer trail in the West, the Bend Ale Trail has grown to include over 30 breweries and tasting rooms in seven territories. It includes ale houses from Sisters to Prineville to Redmond, and, of course, Bend. Each territory features some of our favorite activities in Central Oregon as well as Drinkable Diversions. Stop by the Bend Visitor Center for a free collectible passport or use the web-based app to start right away.
Drink Responsibly
Don’t even think about drinking and driving. Make a safe plan to trek the trail with a sober driver behind the wheel. You’ll find tons of tours, taxis, and rideshare options to help you get around. Got a designated driver on your team? Learn how your sober pal can earn prizes, too.
Bend Ale Trail Month
Ah, November. The holidays are on the horizon, you’ve traded your flip flops for sneakers, and ski season is just around the corner. But the best part about November is that Bend Ale Trail Month is happening in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
