Three of our Favorite Seasonals Jubelale. The shorter days and cooler weather can mean only one thing around here. . . it’s Jubel time. This is an exciting time for us here at Deschutes Brewery as the Jubelale packaging and beer come together after months of hard work. We hope you will enjoy the delicious results.  Did you know that Jubelale is the first beer ever bottled by Deschutes Brewery? Now after 18 years, Jubelale is in a category of its own with a flavor and following that is impossible to match. Dark crystal malt creates that “luscious” holiday note while the roasty flavor and bountiful hops excite your taste buds, reminding you why Jubelale is the perfect holiday beer. Katherine Taylor of Bend, Oregon is this year’s artist, painting a warm depiction of the Deschutes Brewery Public House on a cold Central Oregon winter’s night. We love what she created and hope it entices you to cozy up by the fire with your friends and a tall pint of Jubelale. More of her vibrant oil-paintings can be viewed at www.katherine-taylor.com.

Hop Trip Pale Ale. Highly anticipated since last year’s successful Bond Street Series debut, Deschutes Brewery’s Hop Trip is heading out once again to celebrate this year’s hop harvest and to satisfy thirsty fans.  Soon after the harvest was announced, Deschutes’ brewers once again took the journey over to the Willamette Valley to pick an abundant amount of the freshest whole leaf Crystal hops straight from the vines of Doug Weathers’ farm. The return trip to Bend was greeted with a homecoming welcome as the hops were then quickly added to the boiling brew kettle.  Timing is critical with fresh hop beers so the first brew actually started as the hops were in route from the Willamette Valley.  This year we thought it would be fun to document the journey on film so we asked FARfromEARTH Films, based in Bend, OR to help us out. Cruise on over to deschutesbrewery.com to see some photos and to view a short film about the Hop Trip experience.

The Abyss Imperial Stout. Last year we officially launched our Reserve Series with Mirror Mirror, a delicious oak-aged barley wine loosely based on a double batch of Mirror Pond Pale Ale. This year our brewers decided to experiment with an Imperial Stout, appropriately named The Abyss after its dark, deep and mysterious flavor experience. The Abyss has immeasurable depth inviting you to explore and discover its rich, complex profile. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors draw you in further and further with each sip. For this journey you must wait until December. Limited availability in 22 ounce bottles and draft only.

HOME BREW CONTEST Paul Long and his Kolsch Deschutes Brewery held its first homebrewer contest and had an impressive 46 different entries! Thanks to the 25 folks that submitted their entries. Here are the results! 1st Place: Paul Long and his Kolsch 2nd Place: Kenneth Reister for his Belgian Dubble 3rd Place: (tie) Paul Cervenka’s American Style IPA & Steve Ferguson, Bronson Gomez & Andy Hayes’ Rye Beer. Paul Long (pictured at left) was able to brew his award winning Kolsch at the Deschutes Brewery & Public House and the brew will be submitted to this year’s Great American Beer Festival scheduled for September 28 - 30. We thought you might enjoy this chat with Paul. DB: “Hey Paul, congratulations on winning our ‘Homebrewer Contest’ –- How did it feel to learn you won?” PL: “I was thrilled seeing as though I’ve entered many competitions and you just never really know how your beer will be received. Also, Deschutes Brewery (Black Butte Porter) inspired me to brew so it was all the more exciting to learn this news.” DB: “How did you decide to brew your winning Kolsch?” PL: “Actually, I was aiming to brew a Pilsner and undershot the bitterness and began to appreciate the subtleties of the brew which at this point was more characteristic of a Kolsch. In fact, this same Kolsch won the gold in the ‘Nationals’ at AHA (American Homebrewers Association) last year.” MIKE'S ANGLE Beer and the Holidays (The following information is mostly made up.) Without beer, most of the holidays that we celebrate at this time of year would not exist. Take Halloween for example. Our modern day version comes from the ancient harvest celebration in which the Sun god “dies” at the end of the growing season. It is a well known fact the early man abandoned his nomadic lifestyle in order to settle down and grow crops. And why did he want to grow crops?  To make beer. No beer, no crops, no harvest, no Halloween. Thanksgiving is a day of celebration for the harvest as well. But our celebration of Thanksgiving has an even more direct relationship to beer. The pilgrims on the Mayflower were set ashore on Plymouth Rock because the ship’s crew had run low on beer and needed to get back to England. That’s actually true. No beer, no pilgrims, no Thanksgiving. Just about every religion has a mid-winter celebration. As religion is a touchy subject for some people, I will not go into the origins of the various holidays. Just let me say that beer figures into them all. Trust me. New Year’s Eve: do we even need to go there? So thanks to beer for allowing us to celebrate, spend time with our families, get bags full of candy, eat turkey (or tofurkey) and get days off from work. DESCHUTES: NEAR & FAR From Munich to Alaska Fall brings photos from cycling and soccer enthusiasts, wilderness lovers and some dedicated Deschutes Brewery partners from Alaska. We are always amazed at the places our beers are taken and enjoy all of the photos people are kind enough to share with us. First up, we have two of our distributor partners from Alaska going to great lengths to show their loyalty to Deschutes Brewery. After a “long night of account support” in Anchorage, AK, Greg Chavez shows off his new Black Butte Porter tattoo with Deschutes’ sales manager, Lance Mitchell. Now that is commitment! We are waiting for him to tattoo the other arm with a Mirror Pond Pale Ale logo. If you have a Deschutes Brewery tattoo, we want to see it. John Burket, Odom Company’s Craft Beer Manager for Alaska, visited England this summer and took along a bottle of Hop Henge IPA for the perfect photo op at Stonehenge. How cool is that? Next we have Traci and Amanda using “nature’s cooler” in Glacier National Park to cool down their Black Butte Porters for supper time. We are honored that Black Butte Porter was their “beverage of choice” for their Memorial Day camping adventure. Staying with the wilderness theme, Kris and Kimberly Bales also enjoyed some Black Butte Porter while they were in Idaho’s remote Pahsimeroi Valley. Now we are off to Europe. A few cyclists took their Black Butte Porter jerseys over the pond for this year’s Tour de France and Al Brandon was kind enough to send us proof. Here is a photo of Al sporting the jersey in France with Floyd Landis on the cover of the daily newspaper. We like to think Floyd was drinking Black Butte Porter the night before his big comeback, but hope it was not spiked with questionable substances. Julie and Joe Swinehart also spent some time in Europe this summer only they stopped in Munich to support the Germans in the World Cup. Joe’s hot tip is to check out the Beery-Go-Round next time you are in Munich. And finally Nancy Gammond-Moody, a Deschutes Brewery employee’s wife, took along a bottle of 18th Anniversary Pilsner with her to Bled, Slovenia, the birthplace of Alpine Skiing, where she visited castles and small islands only accessible by row boat. Sounds romantic, too bad her husband was stuck here working on the brewhouse. We get a kick out of seeing the photos and hearing the stories about where our beers (or shirts) have been, so please keep sending them in and enjoy the adventure, wherever it takes you. Please send all submissions to: jrandles@deschutesbrewery.com or to: Deschutes Brewery, attn: Jason, 901 SW Simpson Ave., Bend, OR  97702.
