The food and drinks are always amazing! Plus their set up is laid back and nice. The staff are always friendly and very prompt regardless of how busy they are. This is one of my favorite spots to visit when going through bend!

Food trucks are my favorite. I like the big open space and casual atmosphere. The beverages are great. The inside menu isn't my favorite.

Great brewery! Unique flavors infused into the beers and easy tasting. Building is large and friendly to have a big group gathering. We did not have any food. Outside yard was open to lots of activities. Would be a great place to go in the summer to enjoy all of what they have to offer!!

This restaurant space is huge, especially outside with the fire pits and the food carts. We sat at the bar. Service was fantastic. We did a tasting flight with additional tasters. We didn't have one bad beer. All were good. Got the pretzel and the cheese sauce was zingy and good. Overall nice experience.

The foods beverages were great. The service was great and the staff were friendly attentive. There's lots of space for families and friends. The ambiance is nice.

Wonderful family place! Dogs are welcome outside. The brewery has a menu with salads, sandwiches and more. Outside has 3 food trucks offering foods not sold inside by the brewery. There is a large variety of lower, mostly 5% alcohol, beers. To round out their drink menu, they have some cocktails and wine. TONS of seating outside. Well maintained environment. Service was great. We ordered the Caesar salad with chicken from the brewery. It was only OK. The chicken was very much over cooked. From a food truck we ordered a burger with blue cheese. Lots of misses with the burger including that it just totally fell apart. The tomato slice was much too thick, onion slices too thick and bun so soft it was just a mess. The meat tasted great! Even with the food "misses", 4 stars overall since there is so much greatness.

Beautiful location with a well thought out food truck park attached. The fermentory offers some food options, but the additional trucks outside help to add to the variety. We came here on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't too busy, but with the amount of tables they had outside, I'd guess they get pretty full.

My SO is huge on beer and breweries so when we came here, he got a delicious flight and an even better 6 pack of nonalcoholic beer to go ~ I love the creativity of the flight stands too. Easily one of our favorite breweries in Bend.

To me, Crux is perfection. There's nothing like driving or ubering along the backroads that deliver you under the highway, before passing the "no outlet" sign that turns you immediately into the Crux parking areas. Then, finally, beer lovers can rejoice that they made it. You'll enter through the main doorway just in front of the smaller front parking lot and then turn left to begin your stay with the bartenders manning the first large pouring area. I had been here once prior, so it was a joy to return in winter. We made our way through the line and were helped by two servers who designed our flights for us. We were impressed with the metal work inside, and then the flight holder was presented, we were glad to see such an interesting metal design there, too. I cannot recall exactly what I ordered, which is a good thing. I LOVED the unique cherry blossom beer and was bummed to learn that it was not available in cans since it was a special release. If you dine here and they still have it, buy some to drink! You will not regret it! We chose to sit outside by the lively firepit and were lucky to get a bench that would fit our flights and our bums. This is a very social area, so come with energy and the desire for small talk. We were grateful to learn a few impressive things to do in Bend from locals, so thank you to everyone who we spent time with! We especially loved our dog friends, Autumn and her sister! We understand the tacos at the on-site food cart are great, too.

Besides gorgeous mountain views, Bend has a ton of amazing beer. My first visit here I missed quite a few of the favorites, and since trying a few canned selections from Crux and hearing people say it was their favorite, I made an effort to make it the first stop. Just off the highway and close to downtown, Crux Fermentation Project has a stellar reputation for great beer. They have a lot of dedicated parking in an area that doesn't seem to have much else. We visited on a holiday so it was extra busy, but the bartenders and servers were so fast and efficient it didn't matter. They have a large outdoor area with tables and fire pits, plus indoor tables. The main bar area snakes through the merchandise section, with multiple menus above the cashiers. You can order food and drinks here. They also have a dedicated side ordering area just for drinks that it seemed like more people were using. A few friends ate various foods and everyone loved what they had. I had two flights of different beers, trying some new ones and ones I've already had but fresh on tap. Their beer is excellent. The brewing facility is large and beautiful, be sure to check out the back areas. Thank you to the bartender for doing a sticker swap; this is a must visit for any beer fan visiting the area.
