About 10 Barrel Brewing Co
10 Barrel Brewing Co started back in 2006 with three guys in Bend, Oregon who shared one simple mindset; brew beer, drink beer, and have fun doing it. Since then our brewery has grown but we will always stay the same...Rough morning? Grab a beer. Powder day? The "gone skiing" sign goes up. Too hot to work? Mandatory company float. You get the picture...Here's to living it up with a beer in hand.
