Brewery Profile

Kobold Brewing

On Redmond’s northeast edge, this brewery adds a production-minded stop to a Central Oregon beer scene that often sits between trailheads, highways, and downtown gathering places. Kobold Brewing’s brewing site is noted for views toward Smith Rock State Park, while its freshest pours are served at The Vault, the brewery’s downtown Redmond taphouse. A visitor walking in should expect the taphouse side of the operation: a place to see what is currently on draft, taste through the brewery’s recent output, and spend time in a setting described as family-friendly. The setup gives Redmond travelers a beer stop that connects the city’s commercial core with the open high-desert landscape just outside town.

Many travelers in this part of Oregon look for beer as part of a broader day built around hiking, climbing, scenic drives, or exploring small cities between Bend and the Crooked River country. Kobold fits that pattern without needing a long detour from Redmond. Its 10-barrel brewhouse supports regular production, while a 2-barrel pilot system gives the brewers room to test smaller batches and rotate new ideas through the lineup. Because specific beers change, the experience is less about arriving for one fixed flagship and more about checking the board, asking what is fresh, and sampling the range available that day. For visitors who like variety, the pilot system is the important detail.

The Vault is the practical starting point for most visitors, especially anyone looking for the brewery’s current taps in downtown Redmond. It is identified as family-friendly, but other amenities should be confirmed directly before planning around them. The taproom is also the place to confirm the day’s pours, since the brewery’s smaller-batch approach means the list can change. If views are part of the appeal, the brewery’s position on the northeast edge of town and the outlook toward Smith Rock help explain its regional identity, even if the taphouse visit itself is centered downtown. Together, the production system and The Vault give travelers a straightforward way to experience Kobold Brewing while passing through Redmond.

Perched on the northeast edge of Redmond, Kobold Brewing offers stunning views toward Smith Rock State Park while crafting exceptional Central Oregon beers. Their 10-barrel system is complemented by a nimble 2-barrel pilot system, allowing for constant experimentation and a rotating selection of unique, small-batch brews. Experience their freshest taps directly at The Vault, their family-friendly downtown taphouse, which serves as the perfect hub for community and craft beer adventure.
