Events

• Mt. Bachelor Brewski
  Mt. Bachelor’s closing weekend finishes up today with extraordinary events, local brews, live tunes and great skiing & riding! This two-day event takes places during their Finale Weekend, May 26th-27th, featuring beers brewed only in Central Oregon. Hours: 12:00pm to 3:00pm Saturday & Sunday. Cost: $10 for a beer stein and three tokens. Additional tokens can be purchased for $2 each. A full 14 oz. pour will cost three tokens, while a sample 4 oz. pour will cost one token.
• Happy Girls Half Marathon
  While not a “beer event” per se, this fantastic event is sponsored by Deschutes Brewery and there will definitely be beer involved at the finish line! Happy Girls established itself as a premier, “must do” women’s running event in 2011 with over 1100 women participating. Women will be spoiled with the scenic course, an incredible pre-race expo and race goody bag plus a post race shindig with beer provided by Deschutes Brewery. From 9am to 2pm.
• Sisters Stampede and Three Creeks beer release
  The Sisters Stampede combines two of the best things about Central Oregon: the outdoors and beer. The Stampede is the largest mountain bike race in Oregon, offering 25 different race categories along the Peterson Ridge Trail in Sisters, Oregon. That’s not even the best part—a horse and rider leading the racers out of the starting gate! Three Creeks Brewing is a big sponsor of the race, and will be launching their Ridge Trail ESB for the event as well as hosting a beer tent, live music, food and more. Come check out the race, enjoy the new Ridge Trail ESB, and check out Three Creeks’ other tasty brews as well.
• Three Creeks tasting at Whole Foods
  Join Whole Foods for a tasting of beers from Sisters’ Three Creeks Brewing from 3 to 5pm today.
• BREWS & BANDS at Broken Top Bottle Shop featuring GoodLife Brewing
  From 5 to 8pm, the Broken Top Bottle Shop features BREWS & BANDS with a Beer Release Party for GoodLife Brewing Co.’s Sweet As Pacific Ale and live music by Tone Red! Come taste GoodLife’s newly-released Sweet As Pacific Ale AND listen to the smokin’, soulful and sultry sounds of Tone Red (one of BTBS’s favorites), playing live and featuring Crystal Pizzola and members of the Moon Mountain Ramblers.
