Very surprised. The brewery was very well laid out. The tasting room on the third floor was very pleasant. I would recommend not to miss this as a destination.

This is my fourth tour of the brewery and my first private tour. I really enjoyed the private tour and it was well worth the small fee. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. If you like beer, this is a must do!

Extremely friendly staff in the tasting room/gift shop. Enjoyed a delicious flight of six amazing brews off a menu of around 25 to 30 choices. Wish I had more time for a tour and tastes.

Very cool brewery and tour. We got lucky and got a private tour giving us direct attention from our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and adorable! (Reminded us of a favored family member) The brewery has a lovely story and admirable history. I appreciate the owners values to the process as a whole, especially including the employees in the growth from their efforts. I loved the personal touches added everywhere making it a second home to the employees to be proud of. I enjoyed the brew creating area, where the magic happens with new flavors. Everything was extremely clean and well cared for. Everyone working was super friendly and happy to be there. I highly recommend stopping through. (I remember selling this beer back in the early 90s as a bartender, and now I see where it all began, very cool!)

Best brewery tour we have done so far! Lindsay was the best tour guide! Super energetic and lots of fun. Very knowledgeable about everything. The Swedish coffee golden ale is an all time favorite!!

They have opened the Mountain Room upstairs, so its cool to go up there. Theyve got the check-in and social distancing down and that makes it enjoyable to try new brews or revisit their excellent flagship beers. Thanks Deschutes!

Terrible service. Bad attitude. There are plenty of beer pubs in the area like Boneyard, and they treat people of color and female a lot more respectful than this one. One of the staff (long silver hair) was rude and didn’t do his job when we asked which light beer he would recommend. Meanwhile his coworker heard what we asked and poured us a beer sample.

Our server, Howard, was so nice!!! We made the mistake of ordering pizzas for takeout with the plan of sitting down and eating at the taproom (we weren’t supposed to do that I guess),ordering a few beers, and then speeding back out onto the road (we’re stopping through form MN!), and Howard was so kind about it! He even gave us some great recommendations for things to see and do in Oregon! The manager and hostess weren’t as forgiving. Howard needs a raise. Thanks for giving us a dose of Minnesota Nice, Howard!!

Great place to try there beers. The staff is super friendly

Great beer, like the new bar (The Mountain Room) on the 3rd floor. Picked up some choice Barrel Aged bottles for the cellar.

The app crashed earlier and stole my passion at Deschutes. But I definitely recommend the place. Great service with great variety of beer. Nitro red chair was my favorite but everything else were great as well. You can also do a quick tour at this awesome facility before 4pm which might gain you special excess to certain types of beer. Unfortunately we didn’t have time today.

Outstanding safety protocols in place and terrific beers on tap!

Visited the brewery to do the tour. The tour was very informative and it was interesting to learn about the beer making process. I really appreciate the amount they give back to the community. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and a joy to listen to. Would recommend this brewery tour!

Had a lot of fun with Jason on the Barrel Tour. Highly recommend!!!

We found out about this location from one of the servers at the brewpub located just a few miles down the road. We decided to check it out for the $5 per person 45 minute long tour (you also get your choice of 1 of 3 different beers to bring with you on the tour) it was a really cool experience, staff was great not to mention a plethora of deschutes memorabilia and gear. Personally I liked the vibe at the brewery a little more than the brewpub the day before. Theyre both great in there own right though.

Small indoor area for furbabies. Tasty adult beverages.

We came for a tour of the facility that we booked online. We loved seeing how the beer was made! Our tour guide Courtney was amazing. She showed us and let us try the different grains they use in the process and also touch and smell the hops! Its quite a production and well worth the time to check out. Next time Im there, Ill definitely try the Pilot Tour, to try all the experimental beers theyre working on!

Fantastic. Great beer variety. Exceptional tour. The entire facility is clean and bright.

Lots of variety of beers and ciders. Tours available at all times of the year. Call for the schedule. Tasting room has lots of souvenirs and the options do do a flight of beer tasters (I believe six) or just have a pint. If you buy a growler they’ll fill it for you on the spot. Nice low key place to try their variety. Stop in for a pint!

Have been on a number of beer tours from numerous states. This has been my favorite. Very knowledgeable, Thanks Courtney! And great fun. I would definitely recommend this tour. The beer is great! And I appreciate all the knowledge!

Awesome! Great place to relax and have a brew!!

Great brewery tour, tasting & shop.

Beautiful day to explore Bend OR and brews this place is awesome! The beer is so good! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable!Spend some time here for sure!

The website says “If you’re unsure of your schedule and unable to commit to a specific time, walk-ins are welcome where space is available – pop on in and chat with one of our guides to book same-day tours.” We were sporadically visiting Bend, so as recommended we stopped by and asked about walk-ins. Extremely ignorant older man at the front said “We prefer people book tours online” I mentioned what the website said about walk-ins, so I just wanted to check. He said “Well I guess it looks like that didn’t work out for you today since we’re booked.” Why you would have someone so ignorant be the first person people interact with is beyond me. Maybe hire some friendly employees and not a miserable old man. Took our business elsewhere, and I’ll make sure to never try a walk-in, or book a tour again.

Great tours. Jason was our tour guide and did fantastic!!! Fun and educational. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic staff. We got there 30 minutes before opening and the let us in. Above and beyond!!

Awesome facility and Deschutes history tour. The 6 beer sampler in the tasting room allowed us to try each beer we had interest in. Very fun night, awesome beer and people. Definitely enjoyed our experience!

Still my favorite beer in Bend! Great friendly service and lots of unique beer on tap to taste. The tasting room is a bit small and can get pretty loud when its crowded. Kids are welcome!

Kristin was a great tour guide and made us all want to work there!The other bartenders were friendly and helpful. What a great stop on our visit to Bend!

Fantastic beers, in fact bought a couple of crowlers to go. This is the main tasting room by the way, the others in town only sell by the pint. Also no food is served here.

Very nice people and good beer

45 min brewery tour with a fun guide and a can of beer. The bar offers a wide variety of beers.

Deschutes Brewery is a great place to visit and check out how they make beer. Tours cost $5/person. Tour lasts about 45 mins. Tap room opens at 8 am. No kids after 9 pm. Tours available M-F 1, 2, 3, 4 pm. Merchandise is available as well.

Great tasting room and beer

Grapefruit Rose Sour was amazing !! Got the 2 liter.

Had an awesome brewery tour. Jason was super knowledgeable and very passionate about the beer they are putting out there for the world. Had a great time!

Classics and specialty brews, cool staff, great vibes

Brewery Tour was awesome! Lots of facts and a beer to sip while seeing the process! Tasting room is awesome, too. Try the flight to try their exclusive beers!

Used to go on the brewery Free tour. Afterwards would sit and have Free beer tasters to drink. Would buy a lot of items their shirts, fancy growlers and such. Spent slot of $$$.....Now that they are charging $ to go on the brewery tour we wont go there and spend any money anymore!

Great experience with the bartender. Super friendly, let us try a bunch of beers, and even got us samples of beer we didnt ask for! Excellent customer service, super friendly, fun vibe. Wish there was more seating!

Amazing tap room and awesome tour. Will visit again.

Really awesome tasting room

Tour Guide Lindsey was charming. Great tour. Great beers. Great fun.

I feel like this location is best if youre taking the tour. We had our 2-year-old with us and just wanted to do a tasting. There are only a few high tables with stools tucked in with the gift shop area. The employees were friendly and the tasting was good, but if youre wanting to sit and relax for awhile, Id recommend the public house location. Cool to peek in and see some of the brew process though!

We used to have a lot of fun here and would get substantial free samples. But today we were only offered splashes as tasters. After only 2 beer samples they ignored us until we left. It was rude and kept us from buying anything else there. We wont be back. Very disappointed.

Super cool place with very friendly staff. Their knowledge and sampling the different beers was a fun afternoon as we found a new favorite. Did I say this was a super cool place. Cant wait to go back.

Had a great tour, with our very personable guide, Lindsey. Learned a lot about the process of making beer. Very interesting! As we were waiting for the tour to start, the rest of the employees were very helpful and very friendly.

Great tour and fun time tasting some great craft beer.

Enjoyable from beginning to end. Jeff, our tour guide, was great. Will remember the tour as an event to bring out of town guests. Thanks!

Came in three years ago and it was great: free flight of tasters, awesome merch, very excited and knowledgeable staff. The visit today was disappointing; staff just didn’t seem to be the expert here: prices didn’t match pours and explanations and poured the wrong thing, there wasn’t any excitement around the product or experience.

The tour of the Brewery was amazing and I was surprised at the volume of beer produced - 93 million bottles a year. I enjoyed the Jubilale which is a signature beer but was not a fan of their lager. Impressive place and distribution for being in Bend, OR - a town of 81,000.

Awesome staff great beer

Fun place, tour gives a lot of information on the whole brewing process. Highly recommend visiting and getting some samples

This is the best brewery we have ever been to. The choices in beer makes everyone in your group happy, well except the wine drinker because they dont offer any. They do offer a wonderful menu with everything from mac and cheese to steak to pizza to veggie burgers or salads. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian choices!!!

I always recommend the taprooms whenever I go anywhere, the one in bend for Deschutes is no different and especially for this brewery where you can get things that you cant get anywhere else at The

We enjoyed a fantastic tour, guided by Smith. A very interesting look at how our favorite beverage is made. Lots of questions answered. And as mentioned, four free tasters included! Be sure to make a reservation, as tour spots are hard to get. We had trouble using a phone to make an online reservation, but it worked fine on a computer.

This place is excellent. Great people and great beer. The atmosphere is also really cool and the tours are very informative and well planned out.

Awesome service. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Josa is the best tour guide.

This is for the tasting room attached to their production building, not the restaurant which is in town. The tasting is complimentary and you can choose 4 of the ~ 20 different beers they offer. The staffers were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for a quick stop. They also offer tours of the facility which we did not do. Note this is a tasting room only - no food and you can only buy beer to go.

Great, friendly, fun, helpful staff. Awesome tasting room and things to try! Loved this place!!

Great experience doing the brewery tour. The knowledge of the tour guides was fantastic and the experience was definitely unique to Deschutes. The best parts are probably getting the free tasters (on top of some extras when they open some barrel aged beers) and finding out some of the fun facts about the brewery (like there being a taproom in the break area that is labeled as a restroom!). Definitely would do this on your trip to Bend.

Very interesting and fun tour.

Just stopped in for a souvenir glass and a pint, of course stayed for more! Couldn’t do the tour (book in advance recommended!), but the bartender, Jason, was entertaining enough so we didn’t feel like we missed out at all! They are super easygoing about free tastings and have some really yummy reserve and pub pours (one of which we took home). Great variety of souvenirs without resorting to a million kitschy thing that they just slap their logo on ;) No food onsite, but a very short walk down the hill they’ve got a very cool fake marina setup with a couple food trucks and of course more beer! We had a great hour and a half, and found this brewery to be very laidback and not super gimmicky/touristy as I had expected.

Radical beer

The staff is very hospitable and knowledgeable. Beer is excellent and priced well. Lots of swag is also available.

Some of the best beers in Oregon, right here. Try and do the tour, its pretty cool to see the operations up close and get to do some tasting right at the source! (this location is the main brewery and doesnt have food; their restaurant is in Bend proper)

Deschutes does not make any bad beer at all. Even styles that I normally do not prefer are great. The brewery is a really cool place to tour, and the people there are friendly and knowledgeable. I go every time I visit Bend.

We took the tour. It was quite interesting. We tested couple of flights afterwards. Everybodys very friendly there.

There was an excellent selection of everything great about a brewery. Our server provided a wide selection of tastings and very knowledgeable about the beers.

The brewery was worth the trip. We went on the tour. It was about 45 minutes of interesting beer info. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. And dont forget that you get 4 free samples of beer while you are there too! The gift shop has some fun stuff, but nothing you cant buy online.

Great beer, and really great people! You can get 4 free samples with or without the tour. It has a nice gift shop as well. You really cant go wrong, I recommend it to anyone who comes to Bend to visit.

Sure fun beer tasting spot!!

We were there for a wedding. We got a mini brewery tour and unlimited samples. The staff was amazingly courteous and knowledgeable!

A working brewery you can actually tour through. Reservations need to be made though. The best part is they off free charging for my plug in hybrid

I highly recommend stopping by for a visit if youre interested in beer. The tour of the brewery was very interesting and was led by a friendly and knowledgeable employee. You are provided with the history of Deschutes Brewery as well as the steps involved in making beer. After the tour, stop by the tasting room for several, generously sized samples of beers of your choosing.

This is for the actual brewery and tasting room. The place is a must do if you havent been. Stop in and taste some of the best beers in the world, and/or take the tour. Free tastes and a free tour with some great merchandise available for purchase as well as six packs or growler filling if you want to skip going to the store afterwards.

Very nice staff. cooked to order meal. exotic meats.

Never disappoints. Great beer, great service, great swag.

I had a blast. I loved trying all the different beers and the tasting was a great value with a knowledgeable staff. Even the customers were friendly and open and it seemed like I was at a party at a friends house.I ended up leaving with a keg of Mirror Pond and it was delicious!

I have been on many brewery tours over the years but none compare to the one we were given at Deschutes. Our tour guide loved his job and Deschutes and it showed in his tour. He was excited (but not in an obnoxious way) about his job and showing us what he does. He explained the process in a way that it finally made sense but I didnt feel like he thought I was 5. Not to mention the beer samples werent a half bad perk either. If you are ever in Bend I highly suggest heading in for a brewery tour.

The tour was fun, informative and interesting. Learned some new things about beer and Deschutes. The tasting room was crowded but what do you expect with free beer samples! Staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere, awesome service and a good selection. Didnt take the tour but the tasting room was great.

Came here for a community meeting and fell into the tasting room. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. I urgue to come and experience a slice of heaven on Earth.

Food was better than the beer. Beer was OK, but not something to write home about.

Try my favorites, the Nitro and The Black Porter . Yummy

Great tour and tasting. Courtney was awesome and knew so much. Highlight of my trip to Bend Oregon!

Did the brewery tour and samples. Great vibe and good beer. 10/10 would go again.

Fantastic beer and an incredibly entertaining tour. Our tour guide was hilarious and incredibly entertaining!

Really nice tour, while drinking a can of beer, then all you want to taste

Love Deschutes, they have tours, free tasting, and growler fills.

Awesome Brewery! Go on the tour. The tour guides know what they are doing and are friendly and informative. You get free samples in their well stocked gift shops. If you are in Bend stop at Deschutes.

Enjoyed the time we were there. My son enjoyed it better then his home town brewery. Stones

A great tour and great free samples! Go with a friend who doesnt really like beer - they have 8 beers on tap but only offer 4 free samples per person, are arent stingy about letting you share.

The tour is great, the food at their downtown location is spot-freaking-on, and the service has always been wonderful. Good food, good beer, great atmosphere. What else could you possibly need?

Very fun! Went on tour and learned alot!

Im afraid I may have been a typical tourist to Portland. Knowing it was the craft brew capital, I made sure to have some craft brews. Next time I might try to track down a smaller place off the beaten path. This is definitely the main go to spot.Have the Black Butte Porter and you cant go wrong. Again next time, Ill do the tour and tasting room to give them all a try.

Free tour- you need to schedule a day before if you can (they fill up quickly).you get there 15 minutes earlier, and get a punch card of 4 punches that you can use for 4 tastings (small beer glass) per person.staff is knowledgeable and friendly.the tour was very informative, and not too informative... sometimes people take it to the academic level... these guys kept it funny, friendly, light and informative...nice little gift shop, great tastings, friendly and easy going tour... id recommend this to anyone who wants to spend an hour or so tasting beer, learning about the process of making beer, and simply have fun...i think you should bring cash- even though its free, the staff is very friendly and helpful so a tip goes a long way for them im sure...

Great beer, great tour

Ahhh Bend Oregon, the land of Subarus with roof racks and phenomenal beer! One of Oregons best.

Great informational tour along with free beer tasting.
