n a salute to the thriving craft brewing industry in this town, we’ve dedicated this issue to brews—complete with a comparison of different types of beer, a listing of local beer festivals, and a guide to choosing a local watering hole, depending on your mood.

Celebrate February with your favorite beer in hand, a warm fire in the fireplace and good friends by your side!

We couldn’t leave out coffee in our “brews” issue. In “The Business of Beans,” take a look at how a local coffee entrepreneur combines his love for coffee with his passion for music.

Partners In Care values my work with veterans.

“As a volunteer for Partners In Care, I specialize in working with veterans because I am one myself. Throughout my military career and after, I’ve seen a lot of suffering. So it’s easy for me to form a special bond with my patients because I understand them. We share our stories, we laugh, and I do what I can to make life more pleasant.”

—Frank Partners In Care is proud to be a member of the national We Honor Veterans program.

ROASTING THE ROAST

While there are several types of roasts— including light, dark and French—the majority of Bonsai Bean’s offerings are a “musically-enhanced” medium roast, with a slightly sweeter taste than light roasts and a more balanced aroma and acidity by comparison.

Bonsai Beans also has a flavorful cold brew, which is very popular in the summer months.

The process of roasting coffee beans, which is similar to a popcorn popper, transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products and is what produces the characteristic flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in color and taste. Newson uses a Fluid Bed Air Roaster from Ashe Industries with a separate cooling tray, enabling the start

THE BEERS OF BEER TOWN, USA ARTICLE GREGG MORRIS | PHOTOGRAPHY GARY CALICOTT

With Oregon having over 200 breweries—34 in Central Oregon alone—the days of walking into a bar and telling the bartender you’ll have a “beer” are long gone. Choices now range from locals’ favorite India Pale Ale (IPA) to specialty beers, crafted for the season.

First, let’s start by increasing your knowledge on how beers are defined. Alcohol By Volume (ABV) is the standard measure of how much alcohol is contained in a given volume of the beer. International Bitterness Units (IBU) is the standard scale measuring a beer’s bitterness. We’ve also included the breweries’ descriptions of their beer.

So, if you’re looking to expand your beer horizon, but need a little help, here are six different varieties to help you choose the beer that best suits your mood.

Cheers!

Don’t fear! We have three options for you that are sure to score more points than any simple ‘dinner out’ plan would.

Be like James Bond and stash your finest attire in your backpack for a stealth cross-country ski trip to a remote cabin in the woods. Upon arrival, spiff yourself up, have a martini—shaken, not stirred—and head over for a fine dining experience at the Lodge.

While 2017’s menu has yet to be crafted, last year’s three-course meal choices included Seared Scallops, Fried Sage, Roasted Beet Passato, Pan-Fried Lump Crab Cake, Braised Beef Short Ribs, HouseMade Gnocchi, and Candied Orange Crème Brulee with Sea Salt.

Tummies full and hearts a-flutter, put on your work clothes and sturdy shoes and head out to Bend’s DIYcave for your Couples Welding Class. You’ll create two halves of a steel heart and use the glowing warmth of—well, a welding torch—to join them together.

ROMANCE ON THE SNOW

Planning: ◆ Choose February 10, 11, or 14, $95/per person. ◆ Reserve with Wanderlust Tours.

If you’re looking for that perfect excuse to cuddle up close, try taking a night hike in the snow. Your destination is an amphitheater carved into the snow with a bonfire at its center. Guides bring in desserts, champagne, and hot cocoa with Hazelnut Espresso Vodka. And, when not listening to the sweet nothings whispered in your ear or being mesmerized by the flames, turn your attention to one of Wanderlust’s award-winning Naturalists as they drop some facts on the forest and night sky.

The tour also includes rental of a headlamp and snowshoes. Waterproof boots, pants, and jackets are available for rent for an extra fee.

Warm fire, warm friends, warm drinks, beautiful snow and expansive sky, what’s not to love?
