Crux Fermentation Project

What a fun operation! We were in Bend for the beer. And we were not disappointed here. What a tremendous investment and great creativity that makes everything work. It is housed in an old closed down transmission shop converted into a brewery and pub. It is very . Very well attended. They have the most interesting vats on display. There’s a tremendous selection of beers to choose from, IPAs, and imperials and hazys and radlers and lagers and pilsners. They were a good assortment of food options to choose from to go with your favorite beer. And all this and then more beer! The best servers that know their way around beers. So if you’re after a great beer experience you would really want to check this place out!

Definitely my favourite brew pub in Bend. For those that love IPA, they have a full selection. For those of us that do not, they have a full selection and not just limited to one beer variety that I happen to enjoy. Add to that some live entertainment, a great beer garden, food trucks, and in-house food, and you've just got a great place to be.

Overall: B+ Layout & decor: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cleanliness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Customer service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bathroom: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: just came for the beer & they have a good portfolio of styles to choose from. Outdoor area is HUGE! Staff were very nice & friendly. Only critique is that their Belgian Blonde was light on the cracked peppercorn notes but other than that, good beer. And the bathrooms were clean as well.

Another great brewery + food truck situation in bend. We were there on a Monday and the food truck situation was minimal but they had their food served inside. With the great weather, amount of people there, and space, I was hoping they would have activated more food options. Taco truck was open and got to try the mushroom tacos... Surprising good! Service was pretty self serve but the staff was super kind. Did not go above and beyond but served drinks fine. Great atmosphere for outdoor activities. Best part of the venue and a great place to bring the family outdoors and enjoy views of the mountains. The service + food I'm sure gets much better on prime days but calling this out for going on a Monday and being in town on vacay. Pro tip - the exit to get there makes it super difficult to take a left at the off ramp exit. If you see there is a big traffic build up just take a right and flip a u turn so you can. Get around the huge back up.
