At Crux, it’s all about the experience. See, they’re so small (and proud of it) that their taproom is right on the brewery floor. Which means, sidle up to the bar for a pint of Half Hitch Imperial IPA and you’ll probably see the brewers whipping up a fresh batch right before your eyes. Or maybe you’re thirsty for their crushable Crux Pilz? You will be after you get a whiff of the Pilsner Malts hanging in canvas bags from the ceiling not 10 feet away. Perhaps their PCT Porter is more your style. Well, you might find yourself in a haze of chocolatey malts as you sip on this roasty, toasty brew. Whatever you choose to indulge in, you’re surely in for a treat when you pay a visit to this Bend brewery. Hype: A handful of medals from the Oregon Beer Awards and recognition from Thrillist as one of the Best Breweries in Bend!
