From Bend Brewfest:
Bend, Oregon – 18 June 2018 – Bend Brewfest, Central Oregon’s annual celebration of all things craft beer, will once again be held at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend, Oregon’s Old Mill District. The three-day festival, which runs August 15-17, will feature more than 200 beers, ciders and wines from around the region and country.
Seventy breweries of all sizes will participate in the event and share their brews with 2019 patrons. The Bend Brewfest has become known as the place that breweries showcase their limited release and specialty beers that can’t be found elsewhere. A list of breweries and tentative beer lineup can be explored here: https://bendbrewfest.com/brews.html
"There are several very special beers being featured in our X-Tap tent this year that patrons will be ecstatic about,” said Marney Smith, director of the festival. “We love that our annual festival is the place to find the most unique beers from our region, and we look forward to another year of celebrating craft beer culture with our community.”
The Bend Brewfest is currently seeking volunteers to pour beer during various three to four hour time slots throughout the three days of the event. Volunteers will receive Brewfest swag and tokens for the event in exchange for their time: https://bendbrewfest.com/volunteer.html
