    Porter Brewing Co.

    Bend, Oregon, United States

    We are an all cask brewery. Please do your research on cask before reviewing. If you don't understand it, don't review it. Cask ale is very different from regular draft. Carbonation levels are lower, flavors are more pronounced and it is served not ice cold so you actually taste all the flavors in the ale. Ales are pulled from the casks with beer engines into imperial pint or half pint glasses. All ales are served at cellar temperature (50 degrees). They are not warm nor flat. Ale at events may not be crystal clear due to the transportation of the casks. The ale is alive and there is yeast in the bottom of the cask to perform the natural carbonation process. We do not use clairifyers in our casks. There is no issue with clarity in the pub, the yeast naturally settles out to crystal clear beer. It also makes the ale vegan friendly!

    Bridge 99 Brewery

    Bend, Oregon, United States

    Two friends, Trever Hawman and Rod Kremer, decided to turn in their carpenters belts and follow their passion by starting a small batch brewery using eco-friendly methods and the freshest, local ingredients. What started out as a hobby, quickly grew into a full-blown obsession for crafting fresh, "more drinkable" microbeer. The positive response and overwhelming demand for their brews pushed them to expand into their new facility and tasting room at 63063 Layton Avenue, Bend, Oregon. Keeping it local, staying humble and using sustainable practices to create the best tasting beer are the priorities at Bridge 99 Brewery. It starts with using fresh , local hops from Tumalo Hop Company in Central Oregon. After the brewing process, spent grain, hops and yeast are sent to a local ostrich rancher rather than going into the landfill. Also, rather than sending grain wastewater down the drain and into our rivers, it is collected in large totes and used as nutrient-rich fertilizer on a local farm. Where did the name Bridge 99 Brewery come from? Wanting to build a brand around something unique to the region, along with "99 bottles of beer on the wall" singing in their heads, the two set out to find a name. The search was over almost as quickly as it began when they remembered a local US Forest Service landmark, Lower Bridge - also referred to as "Bridge 99" - that crosses the Metolius River near Camp Sherman, Oregon.
