Today marks the return of the annual Suttle Lodge Winter Beer Fest. Held at the scenic Suttle Lodge in the Deschutes National Forest just outside of Sisters, Oregon, this winter beer fest brings together some of the region’s best breweries to an outdoor setting of fire pits, live music, and warm food all to make for one festive atmosphere.
After attending for the first-time last year, the Suttle Lodge Winter Beer Fest is definitely one festival that we highly recommend attending. Last year the temps were in the single digits, but this year when the festival returns Friday, February 23 – Sunday, February 25, the temps will be bit warmer!
For its Winter Beer Fest, the Suttle Lodge goes all in as its property that overlooks Suttle Lake is brimming full of craft beer. The lodge utilizes its quaint cabins on the property as makeshift beer bars. Attendees wonder from cabin to cabin to choose their favorite beer while quaffing from a pretty nice Suttle Lodge branded MiiR coffee mug. If you need a break, just grab a log to sit on next to one of the various fire pits while viewing the tree canopy overhead.
Organizers of the Suttle Lodge Winter Beer Fest have brought together a stellar lineup of breweries. Take a peek below.
