Can Bend, OR Support More Breweries?

Some Ben, OR brewers and local officials are questioning if Bend can support the growth of breweries.  This from KZTV:

There's no question that breweries use a lot of water.

"Obviously, breweries use a lot of water to make beer," Fish said, "and the sewer system is the primary disposal area for the water that doesn't make into the finished product"

For every barrel of beer, the breweries consume two barrels of water. 

But the question Fish wants to get an answer to is how to resolve that.

The city has been trying to work with breweries to fix those needs, something Barnett says need to happen.

"The city, as well, is still facing a lot of challenges whether it is water, sewer, land use, whatever it is," Barnett said. "But they just want to be aware of what we are up to, so they can fit that in and be able to sustain our own business."
