Crux Fermentation Project

Big modern looking place that sticks out in the middle of an otherwise drab industrial warehouse area outside the main town centre. First thing that struck me was the sheer amount of people in the lawn out front, lots of families, lots of 20-somethings gathered around picnic tables, large queue for the taco stand (we were told these were excellent but couldn't stay). By the sounds of it this huge crowd is normal here. Definitely wish we'd called by here earlier and spent an hour working through the tap list. Unfortunately I could only grab a couple of take-outs from the fridge, the price point for the tempting wax-sealed brett BA options were unfortunately not an option, so I got a couple of their standard range. Yeah, this is a popular place, enough to rival Bend Brewing Co in town.

Visited 2016. Taproom with a huge outside space, it was busy but quite chilled. The regular beers are a little dull but the wild ferm beers are very tasty. The locals were very friendly.

Pulled up on a Thursday in the afternoon and this place was a zoo. 100+ people out side, cars parked everywhere. If it wasn’t for my wife, who I told to turn around, I wouldn’t have made it. This was in my top 5 to visit on my trip. We finally found a parking spot and boom, we walk in and immediately grab 2 seats at the bar that opened just as we walked in. Despite the mad house, the Bar Tender gave us great service and I drank great beers here. Great bottles available to go too ... great place.

Had long lunch and several beers here. Most of the action was going on outside due to some unseasonably warm weather, but we stayed inside. Broad selection of Crux beers and a small but interesting food menu. Pleasant service and a neat space to spend some time in. My largest complaint is that the seating was uncomfortable.

Large and secluded grounds stuck into a space between a highway wall and a fenced-off construction lot. Beautiful and bright wooden tasting room with some interesting and smart offerings, experimental and new hops, and a couple of takes on German lager. There’s a small kitchen inside and a food truck outside with the patio, lawn, and fire pits. Very chill place outside of peak hours.

They had some kind of mini festival or family day or something when we visited so lots of people in all ages on the premises which was nice, felt like a block party. And the beers are delicious.

21 Crux beers on tap with 8 (mostly over-lapping with the taps, for sale in bottles. Lively yet laid back and friendly atmosphere. Fine service.

Amazing place to hang out with mountains in the background and a huge grass yard. Bring the dog and the kids and have a blast. However, the lines for beers were insanely long, they need more than just two stations. Quality of beer was really low, nothing I would ever drink again. Fun place to hang, but I wouldn’t come back to just drink.
