Silver Moon is now my favorite brewpub in Bend, OR. I showed up on a Sunday night, and there was a roller derby girl Halloween party going on. Awesome. Plus, the beer was good. And the staff were very cool. They only had five of their beers available, unfortunately, but it was enough.

Rob’s Picks
• Hop Knob IPA – pretty cool
• Bridge Creek Pilsner – nice
• Badlands ESB – not so bitter, but smooth

The Rest
• Hound’s Tooth Amber – okay
• Pumpkinhead (seasonal) – in general I’m not a fan of pumpkin ales, and this one was no exception. Sampler size was enough for me.
