Eat Drink Bend

Dry January isn't just about the first month of the year anymore—alcohol-free and sober-curious lifestyles are becoming more common (yes, even in Beer Town USA aka Bend, Oregon!). This Fall, we partnered with the?Central Oregon Health Council?to showcase Central Oregon's mocktail and N/A options, which are a growing scene in Bend and beyond. Not only are we seeing mocktails becoming more common on drink menus, but a handful of "bars" are dedicated to the mocktail movement. Similarly, local breweries are offering their top sellers in the N/A variety, along with more canned mocktails and CBD drinks in local markets.
