Backdrop Distilling - Bend

Tried both the vodka and the gin and they were great! Definitely recommend!

My husband and I thought a beer and a bite on a Saturday afternoon after a hike. Before we set up and didn't want to break rules, we waited more than five minutes to ask if we could bring our own chairs in instead of sitting at a table. (We did this regularly with other local businesses, but wanted to be sure it was acceptable beforehand) We wanted to stay away from others because of COVID. The woman (server at the beer car) said that we must not introduce our own chairs and interpret us on the only open table. Since we had to wait five minutes to even ask the question, I asked if they sanitated the tables between the customers. She snapped, you can't get into your own chairs and if you care about it, I don't think you should come here! Needless to say we went and will not return. And as our president is currently in the hospital with Kovid and our #s in Deschutes County are rising daily!

Great Vodka! Very smooth and light!! We can enjoy a few shots or mixed with cranberry juice or lemonade. Everyone at BackDrop is great as well, so friendly, it's a fun place to go with friends ;0)

Brauen is one of the wonderful breweries in Bend. Good Life offers a diverse selection of craft beers. I enjoyed a taster flight that included six different beers, all of which were excellent. However, their Hazy IPAs and stouts really stood out as exceptional. It's a great spot for craft beer enthusiasts, and I definitely plan to come back to sample their food.

On Day 7 of my 8-day lunch tour of craft breweries, I enjoyed yet another delightful meal. At each brewery, I paired my lunch with a flight of 4oz beers, and I must say, the star of the show here was the chicken wings—they were the best I've ever had in any pub! The dish was served with six wings, each including all three joints, offering a generous portion for just $14. The standout beer from my flight was the Cherry Love Chocolate Imperial Stout, boasting a 10% ABV and 20 IBU—absolutely fantastic! Our server, Debbie, was wonderful as well!
