I lived in Bend a little less than 30 years ago and the only micro brewery was Deschutes if I remember correctly. My husband and I stopped in here based on a recommendation by a couple of stellar sandwich makers over at Valentines. We were on a very tight schedule and had time to fill our growler at one location even though there are a plethora in the area now. I am so glad we ended up here. We had the friendliest service by the cutest tap guy that sang along with the Grateful Dead blasting from the sound system. He gave us time to decide which ale we wanted to drive back home with without side eye or impatience. Truly a gem behind the bar. We even stayed to share a pint outside beside a wood stoked fire even though the temp was 22°. There were families with kids playing in the large yard. It was like a neighborhood without houses. I loved it. BRAVO CRUX!

Take me back! The beer is amazing, I've been frequenting this spot when I'm in town since 2013. I'm lucky enough to say some good friends now live and work near or in Bend! This means annual trips seem necessity. The atmosphere is great, during the day a quick bike ride there or at night on the brewery pub crawl. The beer is delicious, please try any of them and you won't be let down.
