For over 15 years, Jubelale lovers have enjoyed the art on the outside of the bottle almost as much as the art inside the bottle. Each year, a different Oregon artist designs a winter-inspired label to adorn this festive holiday ale. This year, Deschutes Brewery is taking all of the Jubelale art on tour.   All events will showcase a full line-up of Jubelale illustrations through the years, as well as tastings of 2009 Jubelale.  In addition, limited edition retrospective posters that highlight all 22 Jubelale labels will be available.

The Jubelale Art Tour is in full force so check out the list of stops below to see where you can view the collection of Jubelale artwork and sample the beer.

October has been good to us!  First, Men’s Journal released their annual America’s Best Beers article recognizing The Dissident, Hop Trip and the Portland Pub.  Then, Sunset came out with a great beer pairing article written by Portland’s Jeff Alworth that pairs Black Butte Porter with shellfish.  And then for the hat trick, the new issue of Dirt Rag hit the stands this past week and their one-page “Beer Me” article about funked up beers featured The Dissident. 

After reading this I know the million dollar question is going to be, “So where can I find The Dissident?”  Well, The Dissident is probably the least available beer we ever released and the first batch is long gone.  The good news is that the second batch is brewing and will be released sometime in late 2010.  Cheers ~

As an avid homebrewer for many years, Kyle Hollingsworth, keyboardist of The String Cheese Incident, has long been a fan of microbrews and specialty beers and has found the perfect way to blend his love of brewing with his love for music. In select cities on his fall tour, in support of his brand new release Then There’s Now (September 15, 2009), Kyle has teamed up with local breweries and the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) to offer a public meet & greet, and several lucky fans will win passes to a private tasting with Kyle at that night’s venue or brewery.

On Saturday, October 17th, the Brew Tour heads to Portland, OR, to enjoy brews with Deschutes Brewery at their Brewery & Public House, followed by the concert later that night at Mississippi Studios. The general meet & greet at the Deschutes Brewery & Public House is open to the public.

For your chance to win two passes to the Deschutes tasting with Kyle Hollingsworth and tickets to the concert that night at Mississippi Studios, email us a story of your best beer and live music experience or a photo documenting the event, along with your name, phone number, email address and AHA member number (if applicable) to info@deschutesbrewery.com with “Kyle Hollingsworth Contest Entry” in the subject line.

Send your email by October 14th, winners will be contacted on October 15th.  Good Luck!
