Broken Top Bottle Shop – Central Oregon Beer Week 2014
DETAILS:
Broken Top Bottle Shop & Ale Cafe is the official HUB for Central Oregon Beer Week 2014! What does that mean to festival followers and fans? Simple answer… BTBS has free live music and free beer tastings happening during all 9 days of COBW from 6 pm.
SETTING:
Not far from downtown Bend, near the college on the northwest side of town, Broken Top Bottle Shop & Ale Cafe is located at 1740 NW Pence Lane (just off College Way).
We had the chance to chat with Diana Fischetti and Andy Polanchek, co-owners of BTBS, and they explained there are 12-15 taps of craft beer that rotate on a regular basis, plus there are close to 500 bottles of brews to enjoy. There is also a full dining menu, and if you don’t drink beer… a selection of wine, cider, kombucha is also available.

WJ TOP BEER PICK:
WAVEJourney made it over to Broken Top Bottle Shop for the evening happenings on Saturday May 24 and enjoyed the free music by the band, Cripple Hop.
Free beer samples were served by Three Creeks Brewing and GoodLife Brewing. Although we enjoyed each of the brews from these great brewing companies, Viv and Jill both picked Vaquero IPA (made with Calypso, Falconer Flight and bravo hops) from Three Creeks Brewing as tonight’s favorite.
So get on over to Broken Top Bottle Shop & Ale Cafe one of the evenings during Central Oregon Beer Week 2014. It’s a jolly good time!
Cheers,
Viv and Jill
