Silver Moon Brewing
Central Oregon’s
fourth-oldest brewery
set up camp in
Redmond at the end of
2015 with a large-scale
production facility. The
expansion of brewing
capabilities came after
Silver Moon opened up lanes
of distribution in Washington
earlier in 2015. The location is a retrofitted 15,000-square-
foot building that quadruples the brewery’s annual
production to nearly 6,000 barrels. Its location in Bend will
continue to operate with a focus on specialty beers and
maintaining a beer pub atmosphere. The two main beers
produced in Redmond are IPA 97 and Chapter 2 Casual Ale.
