The Pine Tavern Restaurant and Bar in Bend will host its fifth annual PT84 Beerfest Invitational on October 5 from 4:30-8pm. The event includes a beer garden, food and people’s choice judging at the Pine Tavern. Eighteen Central Oregon breweries will compete for the best beer designation and will be judged by the people of Central Oregon. The aim of the competition is to select a winning beer and brewery, and celebrate and recognize the craft beer industry in Bend. To add to the festivities, the Pine Tavern Restaurant and Bar will serve the award-winning beer known as PT84 as its signature beer on tap for the year of 2020. All other participating breweries will be rotated on available taps throughout the year.
The competition will highlight the submitted brewer’s choice beers and the people will vote. This bestows a high level of recognition upon the participation in the competition, thereby giving recognition to the craft brew industry in Bend, the prize-winning product and its producers.
New this year will be tastings of 2020 Cork and Barrel wines from Paso Robles.
There will be signature food items from the Pine Tavern menu and a beer garden on the patio, where the participating breweries will serve their samples to the public. All event proceeds will benefit KIDS Center of Central Oregon.
