February Edition How is February shaping up for everyone? Have things slowly started feeling like they re getting back to normal? I still mostly work from home, mostly just talk to my cat on a lot of days and still watch a lot of movies and listen to way too many podcasts. Wow. That should be my dating profile. Anyway, I hope life is feeling brighter for most of you and the days are filled with sunshine, socially distanced hugs and laughter. With that said, here are a few things that have been making me feel a little more connected this month.
Stoller Wine Bar will feature over 40 wines After several months of teaming up in the same space, Riff Cold Brewed announced this month that it would be officially handing over its taproom in Bend s Box Factory to Stoller Wine. In November, Riff announced that it would be sharing its space on Arizona Avenue, offering a pop-up tasting room for the Willamette Valley winery. But on Feb. 3, Riff announced on its Facebook page that it would hand over the keys to the taproom and instead begin to focus exclusively on our core business of making and packaging those creative new cold-brewed concoctions.
Owner is seeking food carts to join the fun A new food cart pod is nearing completion in Prineville, and its owner is seeking food carts to join the fun.

The Corral includes an indoor beer garden and indoor/outdoor seating. Kropacek hopes to have the space open to the public by April. More information is available at corraltaproom.com.
