It’s not too late to join us for the Big Butte Challenge, where families, friends, and individuals come together to explore eight butte-iful buttes & breweries across Central Oregon, between Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend.  The reward? Custom Big Butte Merch, swag bags, and a free pint at each butte-sponsored brewery.

Once registered, participants receive a swag bag with beer tokens, merch, and other surprise goodies from our sponsors.
