Race day for the Bend Beer Run was coming up so we stopped by Cascade Lakes Brewing to sign Cali up and give one of there beers a taste. I am a fan of their Blonde Bombshell, but don’t have much experience with anything else. The only other experience I have had was with their IPA which was not the greatest. I think this place is more for the tourists as it sits right at the bottom of the mountain and is not easy to miss after a hard day of snowboarding. Being the wing man (in more ways than one) I also wanted to try out their chicken wing appetizer.

I was also excited to be at Cascade Lakes Brewing because I had done some work to their website in the past. Always cool to stop by a former client and peek in.

Final Thoughts
We both felt that we should stay away from the Riverside Red and the chicken wings. The wings were the smallest I have ever seen and were no where near HOT as advertised. If it was not half off on appetizers at that time I would have been even less thrilled. I kept it in as our waitress and service was really good. Not coming back for the wings or the red, but we will check out their other styles soon.
