The Steak Fingers appetizer and Grilled Chicken & prosiutto sandwich were delicious. My friend had a Hippy Pie and loved it. I can't wait to go back and try the Steak Sando as well as other items I can't remember now. Since I like different flavors....I thought the Coffee Porter was tasty. I also liked the American Wheat.Roslynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626114619863238493.post-10538112259784403602010-02-25T13:14:54.099-08:002010-02-25T13:14:54.099-08:00Yeah you're right Eddie, the curve for 10 barr...Yeah you're right Eddie, the curve for 10 barrel has been steep, especially considering this giant leap forward they've made in the last few months. I have to disagree with you on their summer beer...I had that once, and I really didn't enjoy it. Maybe it was just a bad keg. I'll give it a try if it returns this summer.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109912141319150401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626114619863238493.post-2710020442613587672010-02-25T12:56:31.951-08:002010-02-25T12:56:31.951-08:00I've been a fan of 10 Barrel since before they...I've been a fan of 10 Barrel since before they were 10 Barrel - wildfire back in the day - and they've come along ways in what 2 or 3 years? so have to agree w/ Dustin that they are moving in the right direction. <br />their s1nist0r black ale is absolutely amazing and won the bronze medal at the Great American Beer Fest this year - so I'd say that they are producing beers that will be well known outside Bend - so give them some credit and some time. for just being local guys they are doing a great job.<br />oh and can't forget about their IPA and summer ale...great beers!<br />haven't been to pub yet, but am looking forward to tasting the other beers on tap.Eddienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626114619863238493.post-13548922448219746492010-02-25T12:07:19.680-08:002010-02-25T12:07:19.680-08:00Glad you like the porter.

And when I drink a beer, I am not looking for non-beer flavors to overwhelm me. Unless I am drinking a chili beer at Deschutes. Maybe then. And like Robby says, and I didn't really say this in the post, this is a pretty huge improvement, and a lot more beers, then 10 barrel has produced. This is a huge step forward for them, and I am definitely excited to see where they go from here.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109912141319150401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626114619863238493.post-32637304890763674682010-02-25T10:32:07.080-08:002010-02-25T10:32:07.080-08:00I was grabbing a late happy-hour beer with a frien...I was grabbing a late happy-hour beer with a friend at the trendy Portland scotch bar, North 45, located in PDX's Northwest district. My friend, like me, knows 10 Barrel well — but still enjoys the young brewery's owners and staff more than its beer. <br /><br />My friend asks the bartender, "Do you have a pale ale on tap?"<br />The bartender girl replies, "Yeah, it's from 10 Barrel."<br />"Oh great!," my friend exclaims. "I'm from Bend. Those guys are my friends!<br />"But what else do you have on tap?"<br /><br />There's a ways to go before 10 Barrel is producing a go-to choice for beer lovers outside Bend — let alone inside Bend. But everyone who knows you, 10 Barrel, is cheering for you. And the new pub certainly gives us more to rally around. I'm looking forward saddling up at the new digs with tray of six samples and — from what Dustin writes above — enjoy what is a wild improvement in brew, even from a few months ago.Robbyhttp://bendbeerblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626114619863238493.post-29726702877034154002010-02-25T08:49:11.272-08:002010-02-25T08:49:11.272-08:00I LOVE the place, the food is awesome and so are t...I LOVE the place, the food is awesome and so are the beers. I actually love the coffee porter - so have to disagree w/ you there. I can't wait to go back - especially this summer when all the doors are up and the sun is shining! good job 10 barrel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
