Our Story
You will always find a comfortable place to relax with friends and family at Bend Brewing Co.
This quaint brew-pub overlooks Mirror Pond in downtown Bend.
Brewing less than 1,000 barrels a year, Brewmaster, Ian Larkin and his assistant, Josh Harned, continue to produce award winning beer in such a small location. The beer is brewed upstairs overlooking the pub, where quality is always the focus. Each 22oz beer is hand-labeled and hand-bottled.
In addition to the amazing beer, there are delicious offerings of food, wine and cocktails. Patio dining in the sunshine is highly recommended! BBC distributes locally, but recently expanded into the Eugene, Roseburg and parts of the Oregon coast with Bigfoot Beverages.
Be sure to try one of our beers if you find it, and please stop by the pub to sample our current beers on tap and our food and cocktail menu.

Metolius
Golden Ale
- 5.45%ABV
- 17IBUs
- ABV
- IBUs
This golden colored ale closely approximates a lager in its crisp, dry palate, low hop aroma, light body, light malt sweetness and clean aftertaste. Metolius Golden is a well-balanced, refreshing, food friendly beer that goes down easily on a warm afternoon. Available in 22 oz bottles.
Elk Lake
India Pale Ale
- 6.5% ABV
- 67 IBUs
- ABV
- IBUs
This beer is crafted in the style of ales sent to India to keep British troops happy while they occupied India. It was brewed to be very bitter and alcoholic so that it could withstand the agitation and extreme temperatures of a long journey by ship. The preservative and stabilizing effect of increased hops and alcohol were necessary for the ale to arrive in good condition. Our Elk Lake IPA yields intense hop flavors, bitterness and aroma. Our most popular beer.
Outback X
Strong Ale
- 10% ABV
- 60IBUs
- ABV
- IBUs
Our most award-winning beer, this powerful and complex strong ale has a creamy, dark beige head and a ruby port red hue. Roasted malt with hints of hops in the nose lead to a rich malt flavor with a background reminiscent of dried fruits. Available in 22 oz bottles.
