The Little Woody (2013) beer list
The Little Woody kicks off today in Bend and this year they have 19 breweries represented (most of them are from here in Central Oregon), and all of them are pouring a fantastic selection of beers—the best taplist I’ve yet seen from The Little Woody over the years. (As well it should be!)
Here’s a list I’ve put together of what breweries are present and what they’re pouring—if I didn’t indicate where they are from, assume Bend/Central Oregon. I count 34 total beers on this list, which is pretty amazing considering how specialized (one-offs and such) they all are.
