Flavors of the Season 

TWILIGHT SUMMER ALE
Available May-September
Twilight Summer Ale Oval

Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were putting up holiday lights with a Jubelale in hand, digging our Subaru out of the snow because we had to find that perfect Christmas tree. Now Twilight Ale is rearing its foamy head for a late spring release. With the days growing longer and all the outdoor activities, our thirst will be quenched with this sessionable summer seasonal.

Its crisp flavor and citrusy aroma from whole flower Amarillo hops make it a perfect date for that Memorial Day BBQ, trailhead gathering and outdoor music festivals. Be sure to capture this sunshine in a pint on draft, in 6-packs and 12-packs at your local watering hole or favorite store.
5.0% Alc. by Vol. / 35 IBUs 

HOP IN THE DARK

Available late May-SeptemberHop in the Dark Oval

Are you afraid of the dark? It appears not. In 2010, Draft Magazine and Wine Enthusiast Magazine called Hop in the Dark one of the top 25 beers of the year! This ominous looking liquid combines Northwest hops with roasted malts to create a black tinted India Pale Ale type beer. Its aromas come from Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, and Centennial hops that float over a gentle undercurrent of velvet malt complexities.

Take the plunge - a hop, if you will - into this delectable Dark Cascadian Ale. Available in 22 oz bottles or on draft wherever Deschutes beer is sold. 6.5% Alc. by Vol. / 75 IBUs
