Sensational Summer Ales & Wild Reserves!
Head toward the light or go darkside. It's all possible this summer with our lineup of beers!
For those whose idea of summer fun is matching the hatch, honing one's short game, or flying down single-track on the edge of sanity, Twilight Ale is the perfect partner.
Red Chair IPA. Red Chair IPA is a bright copper beauty with a plush body and perfect lacing that typifies Deschutes ales. Hop forward but no cloying, mouth puckering bitterness here. In its place a straight up succulent citrus punch to the nose.
 Black Butte XXI. On June 27th, 2009, Deschutes Brewery reached a milestone. We started 21 years ago with our flagship Black Butte Porter and have returned to the source in celebration. Building on the success of the 2008 vintage Black Butte XX, the double porter, Black Butte XXI, utilizes Theo's chocolate cocoa nibs from Seattle and 1,000 pounds of Bellatazza's locally roasted coffee. |
| WHERE'S WOODY? |
|
| Look for Woody's lifesize taphandle at events near and far as you travel in search of libations!
 Woody, the good-times-on-wheels mobile bar, is on the move again, touring the west coast. A giant wooden beer barrel featuring multiple delicious Deschutes Brewery beers, a stereo, and a disco ball, he is a natural gathering spot at any event for all thirsty individuals. You can follow Woody on his very own web page and on Twitter (@dbwoody). And be sure to frequent our Photo Gallery for shots of Woody in action. |
| A PUBLIC HOUSE ODE |
|
By Amos A. Amarillo
The weary traveler trudged down the block. His feet felt heavy like concrete. The endless drizzle had chilled all of him, down to his bones. The beginnings of a powerful hunger and an urgent thirst were taking shape in that region of his body where they take shape. "I am thirsty...and where am I gonna eat?" he muttered to himself. It was late. He had lingered too long watching the sun depart behind the mountains. An odd sensation to enjoy a sunset while soaking up the rain. Read the full "ode" here. |

A great BBQ dish inspired by the Greek preparation of Souvlaaki! |

The Way Out West!
Well, the rodeo just left town. It always reminds me of the striking resemblance between Deschutes Brewery and the American Cowboy. Both are independent, make their own path and always wonder what might be over the next ridge. The cowboys say, "Just 'cause you're following a well-marked trail, don't mean whoever made it knew where they were headed." Click on the pdf or web version links below to read the rest. |
