The finest in bourbon and barrel-aged beers from some of the Northwest’s most popular breweries will be featured at the two-day Little Woody Festival in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Originally created to celebrate one of the region’s cultural hallmarks—craft beer—this unique event provides a rare opportunity for visitors to enjoy beers aged in wine barrels, whiskey barrels and oak barrels, a process which uniquely flavors and intensifies the beer. This year’s festival will also feature regional bourbons.

$6 admission includes commemorative glass; tasting packages are also available. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit the Deschutes Historical Society.

Tour de Lab is a bicycle tour of the Lucky Lab brew pubs. You'll journey along urban routes on this 18-mile ride. But if you feel you really need to earn that pint, you can choose the 30-mile Big Dog course and visit all four pubs.

At each of the rest stops you'll get a human treat and a chance to relax. Once you're fully dogged up, it's time to kick back, relax and enjoy the dog days of summer with your Tour de Lab pint of Lucky Lab's handcrafted ale. The commemorative print glass is yours to keep.
