After an epic walk in the Bendy heat, we finally arrived to a packed 10 Barrel. Luckily the beer gods were smiling and we found a table by the bar within two minutes.
The cask was yum. The sarsaparilla beer was very cool. I`m always a bourbon fan…More »

We had one of the worst campsites in the park. Right in front of the crapper!
With kids running through the camp from time to time, and the sounds of toilets flushing and dishes being scrubbed one may wonder why I am giving Tumalo four stars.

Firstly,…More »

The guy at the butcher counter earned their fifth star!
He seemed like a manager, and was almost a little over-the-top friendly, I foolishly took it as him trying to up-sell me on my meat purchase. Thankfully, I just went with it and walked away with…More »

Misery Ridge!
Holy shit that is perfectly named.
Probably the highlight of my 10 day Oregon adventure. What an epic hike.
Amazing views and a delightful river to cool off in.
I would love to go back and do a beginners climb. As long as I had a growler…More »

Yep.

A little weird at first, but after a few sips of my deadly IPA I was in beer heaven.

Why is is so difficult to review Boneyard?

The best I can come up with a month later is that words can't do this place justice. It's just perfect!
The coolest owners and staff in the business. Their beer is the best in Bend pints down. And…More »
