Bend is known for their many, and quality Breweries. Most Microbreweries also are a great environment for food and fun as well. However are there many in town that make and serve Non Alcoholic beverages? Often time breweries will also make root beer or other beverages. I just don't like beer.

I don't know of any microbreweries that also make their own Root Beer anywhere in the state. I'm not prepared to say that none don't because I said the same about Cider and then was proven wrong.

I do know that Crater Lake Sodas is sold on draft at a lot of places. You might need to contact them and see who in Bend might have it. Crater Lake Soda: Locations

They are one of the best local Root Beers in my opinion.

I don't think any of our Bend breweries make their own root beer. I do know a few serve kombucha tea from the locally made Kombucha Mama, but I think that might be it. How are you going to survive in Bend if you don't like beer?!?!

Every place you go to eat or drink will serve some sort of non-alcoholic beverage. It's not like you will have to do without while you watch other people drink. Designated drivers are well cared for.

My roofer was drinking a very odd looking bottle of root beer the last time I saw him, but I don't know if it was locally brewed.

Oh I will do fine, I may not like beer, but do enjoy wine. I have had some very good wines at many of the Bend restaurants. Just wanted to see if the breweries had options. Draft sodas sound like fun too.

Haha, I know, just teasing you! I know several of the breweries are also doing cider and a few make mead as well. Those might be some good local options, if you are interested. Deschutes also does a gluten free beer, which IMO, is good but doesn't taste like beer at all. So, might be worth trying as well.

When we first moved to Bend, I didn't like IPA's at all. They were too bitter for me. Now, that's pretty much the only beer I drink. My taste buds have definitely developed a regional palette.
