A new festival will take place over Memorial Day weekend in Bend, Oregon as Silver Moon Brewing will host the inaugural Bend BEV FEST. Taking place on Saturday, May 27 from Noon – 5:00pm, Bend BEV FEST is more than just beer as this fest also includes an assortment of wine, spirits, kombucha, hard tea, cider, seltzer, coffee, canned cocktails and CBD beverages!
Held in Silver Moon Brewing’s spacious back patio and lower parking lot, Bend BEV FEST will bring together 18 creators, almost entirely from Central Oregon. The beverage providers feature an extensive list of some of the finest purveyors in the regions. This includes Avid Cider, Legend Cider, Seven Peaks Seltzer, Humm Kombucha, Compassion Kombucha, J Wrigley Vineyards, St. Huberts the Stag Winery, Palmys Hard Tea, Forth Distilled Goods, Altitude Beverages, Ablis CBD Beverages, Oregon Spirit Distillers, Crater Lake Spirits, New Basin Distilling Company, Bohemian Roastery, Rise Brewing Co, and the event’s host, Silver Moon Brewing.
Though the Bend BEV FEST is being promoted with beverages from Central Oregon, there is one brewery that’ll be making it over the mountain pass from Portland. This happens to be Migration Brewing.
“We’ve always had a good relationship with Silver Moon, and when they invited us to be the sole guest brewery we jumped all over it,“ explains Co-Founder and Sales Director, Eric Banzer-Lausberg. “This is a great opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most innovative beverage producers in the region. We look forward to seeing what type of new ideas come from it.”
Tickets to Bend BEV FEST are $15 each in advance and can be purchased at bendticket.com. At the door, ticket prices will increase to $20.
