Those visiting the Bend Brewfest this year will enjoy the X-Tap program, which is like a specialty beer festival within the Brewfest. X-Tap features small batch and experimental beers like Lump of Coal sour from Lompoc Brewing, which is an imperial porter fermented with sour cherries. X-Tap will be found in the Market of Choice Brewtality Tent where guests can speak to the brewers of these limited release beers.
